    Very basic, but that's the point. A good review of the capabilities of spreadsheets for simulating scenarios with a probabilistic mindset.

    The lecture was quite good but some questions of the quiz made me confused, maybe it can be written in a different expression.

    Pretty useful, it had everything I expected.

    Further readings could be added about more complex models in terms of regression.
