Nice, course - could spend more time on practice and examples.

too easy. not enough practical skills or tools teaching

There should be lab or hands one calculation exercise.

It was theoretical but provided an apt understanding.

Questions with actual raw data would be helpful.

More reading about theory than actual doing.

Too fundamental, too easy. No depth in math

I already knew most of the topics taught.

Could have added more about monte carlo

please improve hand-out for self study.

Good and nice Analysis of each model

A little too basic, but still good.

Review of simple high school math

Way, way too basic and hand wavy.

the lecturer is kind of boring

This course is for beginners

Basic but informative

Good but too easy

too simple

very basic

The student needed to have a good foundation of statistics and high levels of math to be able to follow the class. I have not taken statistics or trigonometry in many years so I struggled. I would have benefited greatly if there were more examples of how to calculate the models, including the calculations part of it. The professor did not do that and that got me wondering (not knowing) how to calculate the formulas. I think if I had seen a few examples, it would have been enough to understand and keep up.

So, more step-by-step instructions on the mechanics of formulas, would be my biggest recommendation.

But the professor did a superb job explaining the concepts, and showcasing some industry applications of the models.

Thank you for asking.

Great explanations provided by Prof. Waterman, however for the price of this course (in my view quite expensive) the materials available are quite poor (e.g. the formulas shown in the pdf slides are a mess, not a mathematical summary, etc), and the level of the quizzes is very basic. I would have expected much more from a course coming from Whaton.

I liked the course because of its format and material. Basically it was comprehensive.

I did not like the presentation and lack of practical examples. I had to force myself to concentrate at times and search other sources for more detailed insight.
