    About the Course

    This course gives participants a basic understanding of statistics as they apply in business situations. A fair share of students considering MBA
    programs come from backgrounds that do not include a large amount of training in mathematics and statistics. Often, students find themselves
    at a disadvantage when they apply for or enroll in MBA programs. This course will give you the tools to understand how these business statistics
    are calculated for navigating the built-in formulas that are included in Excel, but also how to apply these formulas in an range of business
    settings and situations.

    Dr. Smith explained everything so well. His teaching style made even complex concepts understandable very quickly with his ability to tie in real-world examples.

    The course is fine in terms of providing a summary overview of the basic math concepts used in an MBA program, however labelling this as "GMAT prep" is somewhat misleading.

    The material that was supposed to be downloadable was not. Therefore, you could not practice the excel sheets.

    2. There were NO moderators every checking the forum for questions

    3. There was no way to see why you got an answer wrong due to lack of feedback

    4. Some questions on quiz were incorrect

    5. When support is contacted, they say that they will forward the concerns to the moderators, but there is never a response or resolution to the issue.

    Disappointed by my experience. But the lecturer did well in explaining

    Great explanations, a little bit too basic for MBA purposes

    As I finished the course in roughly one day, I find this course to be underwhelming. The videos are good, the instructor covered the topics just fine, and nothing else to say there. I feel like there's more to be discussed like statistics as everything in the course is too basic. I don't really think there's enough stuff that should be covered. There should be more complex topics that are presumably relevant to MBA and GMAT such as integrations, hypothesis testing, probabilities, etc. The quizzes that were provided were mediocre, The final quiz on linear analysis is the worst one in terms of how poorly the questions and answers were written in my opinion. Despite of the two star rating, and the fact there's nearly 30 reviews. I would suggest people giving it a try, especially when you have Coursera plus and have free time to spare. It can be a good refresher to people those that are studying math rather it be linear function and liner regression in Algebra or derivates in calculus. By enrolling the course (and finishing the course), you'll be able to express your opinion on the course, and the content within this course can be improved upon.

    Tests that you can guess through endlessly, questions which are only hard because of how unclear the questions are, no feedback on the written assignments to check against, etc.

    Bad quizzes that have wrong answers or missing information. Even though flagged multiple times over many years, still not fixed.

    The content is good and helpful, however there are 2 quizzes that do not have the correct answer in the grading system. Therefore, I have been unable to complete the course despite successfully demonstrating knowledge on the topics. I have submitted 2 reports for these instances and have received no reply. Sending low rating to hopefully encourage a response and get the accreditation that I paid for.
