really good bases for business metric if you already have a background you are going to enjoy and refresh you memory and if you don't have previous experiences is really easy to understand the concept

It is a business centred course that will help you understand the most important metrics. It includes comprehensive glossaries and lectures that will help you in the process and a lot of case studies.

The business case on the Coffee Roaster company is really helpful. For the rest, it seems to me just a collection of disparate metrics with no solid foundation.

Found the overview of metrics insightful. Financial portion harder to follow, would have preferred more high level, same as other metrics discussed.

Everything was going good until week 3, in spite of passing the course week 3 remains a little blurry in my head because of lack of explanation.

The content is not interesting for me, it's not designed in the way that makes learners feel excited and curious to watch all of the content.

The course is informative. I love the content and the subject, but it's dry in places, and it gets challenging to maintain my attention.

Good introduction to business metrics. I was less enthusiastic about all the investment metrics and formulas, but that might just be me.

Very basic course, pretty much an introduction into the Excel to SQL specialisation. Final assignment is not too challenging.

Very basic terms. Not very helpful for later concepts and would not recommend for business professionals that have experience

A lot of time devoted to the job stuff may not be super relevant for most students, and was certainly not super relvant too.

I was really hoping it would get more into the use of tools like SQL, not just mention them as being important.

I wish the class went slower through the business metrics, showing more how to calculate and more examples.

The course is very short and has a small content. Final assignment doesn't have a straightforward grading.

the data is very important but it needs much practical explanation and the tools used is not enough
