An informative course on basics. Should give more examples to solve for better practice and understanding.

Der Kurs ist leicht verstndlich jedoch auch recht simpel gehalten. Es htte ruhig mehr ins Detail gehen knnen, da zu Einkaufs- und Merchandising-Mathematik noch viel mehr gehrt.

I really enjoyed taking this course. As a Buyer, it was a good refresher on basic to advance knowledge and techniques one should apply when purchasing and analyzing.

this course is a good introduction to Buying and Merchandising
Just more practices and examples needed
By Alexandros Kontos on 8/17/2020
There are practically no examples to practice with. Section 3 and section 4 contain just theory with no math examples at all.

The course was informative and interesting. The only things I had a problem with was that it was extremely fast and I had to rewind and pause a lot to process what is going on. The lecturer went through the mock examples too quickly and not in detail but I did understand what was going on. I also wish he would have given more practice examples.

Course was a great way of understanding the background of retail. However I did find the basics merchandising mathematics could of been displayed a bit more simpler got a bit confusing at times but other than that great course at a great price
