I love this subject, but the way it was taught here was extremely boring and hard to follow/focus. I took it this class at NYU for grad school (higher level), so I was just looking to refresh and almost died.

Really superficial overview, I suppose it's good for just familiarizing oneself with assigning the appropriate model, but to shallow for any real carry over to the real world.

It is very easy and somehow less impacting on real business problem. I hope this Microdegree will get into some kind of complexity otherwise will remain high school level.

If you have taken a statistics course in the past, this course is not super useful besides understanding which models are used for specific business problems.

A very fundamental course that could have been taught in bits with Excel modelling directly. Not for someone who even knows a little about regression.

Explanations not clear. Difficult to follow equations in slides (variables and equations are not repeated from slide to slide).

Personally, did not like the pace of the course. The course can be a bit more interesting with real-life case studies.

The course was overall okay but it was boring at the same time, seems like instructor was reading slides only.

I found the course to be very elementary and very introductory, although well structured and well taught

Just the basics. No concrete explanations of models. You have to study them on your own.

Very basic and the lectures are short in duration. Not what I expected from this course.

Too difficult for a beginner, lecture fails to reach to the main point directly

Professor didn't communicate the material in a way that was easy to understand

Too theoretical, without much opportunity to practice and test knowledge

Bad quality of voice. On point is very loud and one point is too quiet

at some point it was a little bit complicated for me

A first year undergraduate student can pass this

Really theoretical and not detailed

I do not intend this to be mean, but I could not listen to Richard Waterman. I am British and I understand that Richard was born in the UK but spent a great many years in the US. If he had a BritiI really struggled to listen to him as his accent crosses the Atlantic several times a sentence. I found I couldn't listen to WHAT he was saying because I was so distracted by HOW he was saying it. I am sorry, there is probably nothing that he can do about it and the course looked very interesting but I simply could not bring myself to continue.

Beware of Coursera and the $49 charges. I found that I am being charged $49 per month for each class that I signed up for. The $49 charges continue FOREVER, long the classes have been completed. When the credit card expired, I was kicked out of the class that I was in the middle of without warning. I am unable to reach anyone at Coursera to attempt to resolve the problems.

I thought that course was more specific. I will expect more applications examples.

This course needs compete new instructor & more use of excel

You could explain how to solve the problems in the quiz.

Too basic, not very helpful from practices point of view

this course is not working on laptop since day 1
