The material is very helpful to get you up to speed quickly. If there could be more emphasis on walking one through the calculations and giving more examples, the course would be a perfect 5 stars.

Very good background to quantitative modelling. It gets a bit heavy on the mathematical formulas in places, but if you follow through, it helps cement understanding. Good speed/pace of material.

It's a basic entry level course that briefs about important functions and distributions and methodologies used in quantitative modeling.

Material interesting, outlined and structured in good flow. Still need to investigate topic and deep dive to be able to use seamlessly.

Amazing Course. One suggestions: Quizzes can be more frequent in order to ins-till practise and improve retention amongst the students

A good primer, but I wished that the more details was provided on certain techniques (e.g, Markov Chains, Multiple Regressions, ect.)

I think it would have been helpful to have more practice in relation to more of the questions that called for solving in the quizzes.

Good info, but I wish it incorporated some work in excel to solidify the practice of these models, which is all done in spreadsheets.

More practice and questions would be helpful in solidifying these concepts, especially regarding markov chains and probability trees.

It's a nice course but sometimes is basic and unclear. Hope the lecturer could explain more about why and how to calculate the models

Great course. Some more emphasis on the actual math behind it and how to build the models would have made it better, more applicable.

The course is easy to follow and gives many insights about how the models can be made but especially the way they can be analyzed

Very very informative course, only problem is, the content is kind of dry so it requires a little more dedication than average.

Great course, but It would be nice to have the answers of the questions I got wrong + resolution of each question for review.

Buen curso, pero mas que nada para las nociones básicas, no lo recomiendo si ya se tiene manejo de herramientas estadísticas.

After getting the results of a test, it would be helpful to get an explanation of questions that a wrong answer was selected.

Good course, in some places it does jump a few steps so recommend doing some of your own research to cross check concepts.

A very good introduction about the different models.
The only negative point is that it might be sometimes too theoretical.
