An excellent course for companies intending to lead the market Great start to learning how to do business analytics.

great introductory course Great beginning course for a path toward to the data scientist and business analytics careers This is the best course I have ever attended at Coursera Platform.

Great high level introduction to business analytics I enjoyed the course and the professor was as engaging as possible through video lectures.

I've throughly enjoyed learning the fundamentals of business analytics.

Tell me a lot about business analytics.

Most importantly, I got to know the different roles associated with business analytics in companies, which gave me an idea what I should learn and prepare to find a related job.

As the beginning class of this programme, I will say it really give full information of initial business analytics.

Excelent for newbies in business analytics!

Very good foundation course on Business Analytics.

It goes over the basics of business metrics extremely capably and is a good beginning for someone who's looking to supplement their education or to begin in the field of business analytics.

Quick start to provide everyone the terminology needed for business analytics.

This course opened my mind to business analytics by showing me the business metrics that needs to be monitored in a Data driven company.

Good foundation for understanding the underlying concepts before diving into actual data analysis This material is brand new to me, and this course has given me confidence to proceed headlong into the breach of data analytics.

This course is valuable for people who would like to have more exposure on business data analysis!

A good and succinct taste of the Data Analysis landscape.

The first weeks were a nice introduction to some of the basics of what data analysis is and how it is used.

Useful lesson for folks like me who want to shirt the career into Business Data Analysis.

It help us to understand career path related to data in different industries Thanks professor for explicit, far-reaching and inspiring explanations on big data culture, now I am more clear about my career goal and have decided which data analysis tools to learn!

The course has been very beneficial to me in that it has given me a deeper insight into data analysis and how it is harnessed by companies.

For some of the data analysis terms, I feel that practice problems and step by step guides should be provided.

Its is a core to data analysis using Excel and I learned a lot.

Very good course, only 1 BIG disadvantage: you cannot take the quizzes unless you buy the certificate... A complete exposition about data analysis and emerging jobs.

Great introduction into Data Analysis.

Great class and great intro to get excited about data analysis!

Easy to follow, and quizzes help reinforce information learned Awesome class:).

The lectures are easy to follow and quizzes help reinforce what student learn.

Easy to follow, yet comprehensive introduction to the field.

-Instructors are very clear, easy to follow, and well prepared on the material-Clear goals and expectations on what you will be able to do by completing the course-Class material extremely well prepared and easy to follow-Plenty of references and uses of real life scenarios that I can see myself applying in my work (vs. hypothetical a+b basic scenarios)-Classwork and examples are easy to follow making it straight forward to complete homework / labs If you are in data analysis this is a must take!!

It was easy to follow, but it was packed full of great information!

The examples given are practical and easy to follow.

Precise and easy to follow.

Introduces some core concepts using easy to follow real world examples.

First 2 weeks of the course are good and easy to understand, on the other hand , the last week was extremely difficult, full of concepts that are not easy to follow and contain a lot of financial terms An eye opener course!

Am looking forward to the next courses with hands on excel and mysql use.

Great class and looking forward to the excel analysis one!

Looking forward for the next modules.

Pretty let down and $79 waste this is a really interesting course is helping me a lot, looking forward to complete this class Very informative Very good course.

Looking forward to the next courses I thought it would be more practical with formulas for different business.

Highly recommended Pretty good overview for simple business metrics definitions and basic level analysis.

Awesome I highly recommend this course as an example of excellence in teaching.

I would highly recommend this course to those who are looking to understand the different measures to check the "pulse" of a business.

Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend.

I highly recommend to any aspiring Business Analytics, Business Analytics and Data Scientist.

Highly recommend it.

but ok for introduction Excellent content, I highly recommend it.

Would highly recommend this class to those looking to get a better understanding of what business analysts do.

Good overview of business metrics supported by great examples.

Super overview of business metrics.

A goof overview of business metrics.

If you have been working with ratios, you probably won't learn anything new, however, it is a good overview of business metrics, and is ok to take as an intro to the whole specialization it is part of.

Hopefully these are topics that will be covered in more detail in some of the upcoming courses in the specialization Business Metrics for Data-Driven Companies is a good overview of business metrics and business data culture.

Excellent teaching and great case study to end with !

All metrics very well explained and useful case study It is indeed a useful course for non business student.

The final assignment (case study) seemed simple when compared to everything that was discussed throughout the cour Good course overall.

Great case study at the end, made me think about everything I learned during the course.

Thank you Informative course, the final case study could be beefed up a bit to make the quantitative material stick better.

I thought the course was good - but I think the final case study could have been more specific.

The final assignment case study was definitely useful in thinking about several of the metrics covered over the four weeks.

The case study was the perfect way to sum up the learnings and simulate a mini business case.

There are only 3 short weeks of lecture content as the final week is devoted to the case study.

The peer-graded case study assignment involves identifying and explaining a business metric in a fictitious business.

Sometimes the industry-based case studies seemed jarring--could use a slightly better T-up.

I feel like more examples, case studies, or panel interviews would help.

Understandable and comprehensible definitions, theories and case studies.

More actual case studies and less portfolio theory would have made the course a 5/5.

Some easier real-life case studies should add in this course.Thank You, Sir, for this learning.

Nice structure and vivid case studies for telling me the business metrics One of the very useful concepts I learned from this course is the idea of evaluating how digital a company or business is.

Excellent course _ too bad about the peer grading which took VERY long & by peers who were not on the same level_some people did case studies while other couls not even answer Q1 :( identify a business metric!!!

Really enjoyed the real business case studies and examples.

However,some real case studies would have been the cherry on top.

Daniel Egger is great at explaining every topic in a way that is very easy to understand.

Professor Daniel Egger's lectures are entertaining, informative and relevant.

Lectures by Daniel Egger are easy to comprehend.

I thank Daniel Egger and his team for wonderful lectures and well planned quizzes.

Thank you Daniel Egger !

The content was extremely enriching, of course, and Professor Daniel Egger simply exscelente.

Great course as an introduction to the business analytics specialization It would have been better if the final assignment was assessed by the instructor too.

the final assignment should have been with a detailed data set.

Comprehensive and general techique I have zero business background and I found this course to be challenging enough that I learned something new, but it didn't take me that long to master the basics so I could starting talking about what I learned with my business-trained friends almost immediately.I did have to think carefully about the final assignment which was great for my learning.

Very good introductory course to KPIs (metrics), big data, data analysis and its job rolesThere should be a proposed solution for the final peer assignment, that is unlocked after the learner completes the final assignment, maybe a little Excel file with numbers could help to make it betterSome little errors on the videos and subtitles, the resource PDFs should be packed in one file of Course Slides / NotesThe Glossary offered in different perspectives is a good idea The course is great (but please consider amending information ratio calculation mistake, the rest is perfect) It's good!

I learnt a lot of new skills during this course .

I have learnt a lot of new things and learnt from another perspective of business and financial Analysis.

I am not a student of Duke University but I felt being one because of this opportunity to study under Dr. Egger's wing.

Answers are in the MCQ format so there is only one right answer and peer-grading by its nature ensures that little or no faculty time and effort is used.Like in other Coursera courses, Official Duke University certificate could be paid.Thanks you again!

To be honest, I also like Duke University and I'm grateful for the team's hard work.

Business Metrics for Data-Driven Companies is the first course in the “Excel to MySQL: Analytic Techniques for Business Specialization” offered by Duke University through Coursera.
