    W​eeks 1-3 are a decent overview of accounting and regularly used financial measures for performance. Week 4 is entirely different; it is a great introduction to and overview of predictive analytics.

    The course is fine, but way below my expectations. It explains very well the very basics of financial analysis in a very intuitive manner. However, the last part of the course brings a "management consulting" approach that is basic, incomplete and obsolete + the quiz is too arbitrary (this is aligned with that part of the course itself).

    As a module of a healthcare business course, it should bring more real examples of the healthcare industry, mostly in the "consulting" part of the course.

    Being a Wharton Graduate, I expected much more from from the course.

    I enrolled to learn about quantitative modelling. Initial week 1 and 2 lectures were good, and relates to quiz. Somehow in my understanding, week 3 and 4 was dragging for me. I have no strong accounting background, may be that could be the thing.

    It is definitely a great course; however, I'm not sure why it does specify that it is related the business of health care in particular? I chose it because I am a nurse, but it can relate to any other field. Thanks.

    Lectures and slides were great.

    Quiz questions were poorly worded (vague) and used terms not raised in the course content making them more challenging then they should have been to complete.

    I understood well the last 2 modules of the course since they were explained well and in enough detail. The first 2 modules were very confusing and took much longer to get through each video since I had to keep returning to previous sections. Unfortunately, there were YouTube videos that better explained some of the material. I expected much more from an online course from Wharton.

    The questions on the quiz did not refer back the their respective content areas. Even when I did go back to the respective areas, the concept explanations were scant and did not enable the learner to solve the problems effectively.

    I had to end up using investopedia to complete a number of the quizes.

    Easily the weakest of the four. Some revision needs to be made on some of the questions regarding its connection with the understanding of the lectures.

    The course is interesting, however it´s not always easy to follow and there´s a lot of information that isn´t really for non financial managers.

    Lack of real world application and adequate examples create lackluster modules for this section of the course leaves much to be desired
