Absolutely loved this course. It was wonderful to realise how seemingly tiny changes can affect an operation so drastically and the use of statistics to fix such issues is very elegant.

Some great information. The final test though appears to have some errors. I found a discussion in the forum about it from a few years ago where an admin states otherwise. I'm not convinced however.
I enjoyed the course though.

The content of the course is very good, so is the faculty's teaching method.
The course presentation seems outdated and the there is a bit of disconnect between the theory and its application in practical problem solving.

This course helped me understand the basics of operations management and the real life implications of the same. The professor delivered the content in a comprehensible and fun manner.

Topic is great, covers a lot of concepts that are important in this field.
Providing the students with examples of the formulas and definitions prior to the course would be a big help!

I was not impressed with course up to about week three. Then the light went on and I understood the layout of the curriculum Good course with a lot of intense calculation required.

A very academic course that turns intuitive concepts inside out, with little perceived benefit. The course would benefit from more applied examples with clear added value.

The presentation and course material is of minimal use. It should be more descriptive so that we can review the subject at a later time after completing the course.

This is the most difficult course in the entire Wharton fundamentals, i struggled a lot with this. You need to understand the formulate and keep practicing.

Interesting course material, but the slides and presentation could be more clear. Exam questions are not always stated precisely.

This course is fairly informative but it take much longer than advertised unless you have a background in operations.

The way instructor gets into the numerical solutions is not that great to understand. It should be in gradual pace.

The test taking instructions needs to be more specific. This was a big pain. The lessons are good.

I had completed weeks 1, 2 and 3 and then the program was updated and I had to re-do everything.
