Decision Modeling and Risk Analysis with Excel (Udemy.com)

The explanations in this course are exceptionally clear and provide great value. For those who handle these computations daily, the pacing is perfect. However, for learners still mastering the fundamentals, some of the software 'clicks' and on-screen actions happen quite quickly, occasionally requiring me to rewind to catch the exact steps. Overall, I’m very happy with the content and the instructor's delivery.

The course was a strong fit. It covered decision modeling, value of information, Bayes, Solver, Goal Seek, data tables, and tornado charts clearly. The labs and Excel templates were useful. I suggest adding more real-world cases and clearer quiz explanations.

¡Super recomendado! Esta mujer es increíble en su forma de explicar estos temas tan interesantes y útiles para la vida laboral. Si buscas nuevas formas de usar excel en el día a día y sobre un tema tan vital como es el riesgo y la toma de decisiones, este curso es para ti. Cada clase está llena de practicidad y conocimiento. Las actividades o retos que pone a los que hacen este curso son muy útiles para retroalimentar lo aprendido.

This rating is based on 2/3 completion of the course. Overall the content is really excellent. My main criticism is that some of the theory despite being quite complex is explained in a rush manner. Or perhaps a different way or explaining or more examples would help. The second criticism is that the assignments can be quite challenging unless you frequently work with probabilities and decision tables etc. It would have been more helpful if the instructure did a video going through the assignments rather than just posting an answer. I think a 4/5 is warranted based on these comments.

Very direct and exact on different methods. Excellent descriptions. Good methods to be aware of and go through quickly, but more people will want to use PowerBI and learn that if they can now instead if the manualness in some of the things here. Helps with understanding concepts and how they build up more rather than "just appear." Course suggestions: Random numbers keep randomizing for every formula you add afterward. (Lecture 31) Quiz 6 Ques #1 solution should be “minus” not a “division” sign in part of the answer. Quiz 6 Ques #5 graphs do not show up. Lecture 33 ~3:40 Explain that 1 means True in Boolean and 0 means False in Boolean. Not everyone may know this. Lecture 39- might be worth mentioning that correlation is between -1 through 1.

Very knowledgeable and articulate presenter; far more detail than I had expected, providing incredible value of material within the course. My only issue with this course was with the third-party Excel 'Add-Ins'; valuable resource(s), but I had expected to see more direct utilization of Excel in this course. However, if at a later time I decide to buy the Add-Ins, I will see and experience the benefits of the add-ins demonstrated as an added value within this course -- so much great information presented, it just left me realizing that my Excel knowledge and experience is barely proficient in execution. The person who can internalize and proficiently execute all of these wonderful tips & tricks will be in a great position for many top business opportunities... I suggestion for those who may find it daunting or intimidating is to stick with it, it will be well worth the effort.

Topics are well organized and presented. Explanations are clear and distinct. The video view of the presenter adds a personalized classroom touch to the session which otherwise would be tricky to follow for 6hour long sessions. Live solutioning and explaining hands-on via screen share helped a lot too. Thank you so much for the session.

Looking for a quick refresher in managerial decision modeling. Theories were somewhat addressed (although they were very quickly glossed over). The use cases and methods to construct models for decisions were not suitably covered. This makes sense given the 10-15 minute chunks allocated for each topic. It was not enough to give me a working knowledge of the topic/tool. This course uses add-in packages for excel instead of using capabilities already inherent in the software. This in itself is fine, but did not align with my expectations coming into the course. I had a hard time following the instructor's explanations, examples, and completing the assignments. She is good about getting back to people with questions. Instead of this course, I recommend you go read Managerial Decision Modeling by Balakrishnan, Render, Stair, & Munson (2017 or newer).

So far so good on the course, It is a great fit for somebody like me who is looking to expand my knowledge on (further) adequate decision making, skills to grow a business, sharpen my Excel skills, and so on. The advanced functions listed are going to and have made me a stronger individual and will continue to. The course is very promising for anybody looking to expand in multiple directions all leading to the top.

Hi. Gancheng Awesome!. Very much to learn as I belong to risk mgmt., the perfect course for me. If u r eager to learn about monte carlo, decision making, sensitivity analysis and some most used excel function for analysis, its the best course with straight to the topic with good examples and with do not skip the assignment part, very useful!. FGC income and Magic beans was the fav. assignment for me and monte carlo assignment, the xlrisk functions wasn't the same as Gancheng using vose software xlrisk however did understand the MCS lectures. MCS was starting section for me, did lose the stick when it was about vose software thing comes in however interest wasn't lost due to author subject delivering, little bit pace on but fully locked in, backed the videos came again. I got it what I was required, thankyou! Gancheng
