Business Intelligence - Using Big Data Analytics 0.5 CPE

Good discussion but I don't think the answer for the first review question is correct.

I hope this could be a recording course. It took me a white to read this material. It may be easier if the instructor can show us how the formula works.

Rob does an outstanding job of effectively teaching the Key Performance Indicators and KPI Dashboards. The course was well-structured, providing a comprehensive understanding of KPIs and their critical role in measuring and driving business performance. The content was insightful and easy to follow, with a perfect blend of theory and practical examples. The section on creating KPI dashboards was particularly valuable, offering hands-on guidance on designing and implementing effective dashboards that provide real-time insights into business performance. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex concepts accessible and relevant. The interactive elements and practical exercises helped reinforce the learning and provided me with the confidence to apply these concepts to my own work. Overall, this course is a must for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of KPIs and enhance their ability to track and manage performance effectively. I highly recommend it!

Very interesting course! ..................................................................

The excitement of the content combined with the enthusiasm and insight of Mr. Wasny make this course, along with those he presents on AI, the most inspiring and motivational I've experienced on this platform.

I believe that there is some audio repetition about half way through. Great course, might just want to take a look at that.

The course is well organized and easy to understand!

Very knowledgeable instructor with many years of experience. Appreciated the inclusion of strategies for every person involved as well as examples of risk factors.

An overall solid summation of the important characteristics of forensic accounting. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Forensic accounting.,

Another great course from David Ringstrom. I always learn a lot from his excel courses. I am glad to have learned about the xlookup function. I think it is something I will be using a lot.

Its just an introduction, you wont learn practical uses of gpt in accounting, he just give us a bunch of example and why this tech is so life changing

I thought this was a thorough and helpful course as a manager who deals with many different types of personalities on a daily basis.

Overall, a good course to learn about multiple lookup equations.

Course was relevant and a good road map to live all aspects of your life.

Good information that should be revisited frequently.

it was a really good course as instructor had everything laid out in detailed slides and was very well explanated with examples.

good me gusto a lot, i want to be the best controller

Very well explained the concept with proper examples. Helps a lot for the corporate cost analysis. Really enjoy the course and easy to follow on his explanation. Great lectures and I will take more of Erik's courses.

Well structured overview of the course by instructor

This is a very comprehensive overview of the IPO process from the CFO perspective. It is particularly helpful to know the flow of the process from beginning to end, what parties are involved and their respective responsibilities during the IPO process as well as what one needs to pay attention and any related rules should be considered.

This a trending topic in current industries and gaining more focus for its use cases and utilization. The course provided a good introduction to this topic.

I love this course! Practical and motivating, actionable advice to drive your business forward. Implementing advice right away.

Very interesting course. Mr. Rubenstein does a nice job of elucidating the essential nature of the forecasting discipline.

I liked the easy explanations and the quality of the supporting materials. Having an excel workbook with quality examples is a huge plus. Thank you!

This is a good ESG overview. I removed a star because the pace was too slow for me. It's important to watch this on a PC or iPad so that you can watch at 1.5x speed.

Having a calculator to practice with, embedded in the course would be most helpful

Great information available in this course, will recommend to others.

I am very satisfied with the introduction of this course.

This is a high-level overview of how to organize data analytics efforts and sell these services to the business.

this is a good course for anyone who wants to get involved in the fp&a process

Your courses have all been so wonderful, so informational, and so thorough--in short, greatly appreciated by me! Thank you for sharing your expertise, your wealth of knowledge, your inclusion of examples! I have greatly enjoyed reading and listening to all of your lectures thus far.

Easy to follow. Relatable content. Clear presentation.

What is this question ? The Altman Z statistic measures the efficiency of a firms marketing efforts over the past: The Altman Z score is about the probability of bankruptcy in the next two years... It has nothing to do with measuring marketing efforts .. How is this an exam question ?

Excellent, is a great introduction to start and put hands on the data and work with it.

Excellent overview of the topic, with engaging examples and pulse checks. Wide range of subjects covered.

Great course on Corporate tax filings for schedule M-3 Part III.

Being able to do each section individually and review it before moving on to the next section. I also liked being able to run the entire course to refresh before taking the exam.

This course was very helpful. new tools for me to practice and master. If you work with data and excel this is the right course. take it and you will find that worth more than you imagine.

Very good class, informative materials and well presented

This course could have been really cool, but I couldn't follow the Excel directions....

I appreciate all of the practice. Lot's of problems help to develop proficiency at speed.

if you ever have to explain basic accounting concepts to someone, this is an excellent example on how to do it - introduction of accounting to novices done perfectly - very clearly, methodically and encouragingly.

the final exam questions are not clearly addressed in the slides.

Explanation/presentation was very conversational and provided a lot of insight based on real experience with the legislation.

This course is very easy to follow and the tip to get the budget template is great.

Great course for being introduced to the Blockchain world

The course itself was fantastic. I would take pieces of it again as refreshers. Given the final exam is 160 questions, I would have been better suited to take the classes in two hour chunks with credit after each class. It was also incredibly frustrating to answer the same question numerous times in the final exam.

great content, however had to max the volume for me to hear the speaker

Great info! Informative and easy to understand. I liked that it was broken up into smaller chunks.

Outstanding course! Learned a ton in a short amount of time.

The hands-on part of this module was effective, but the final exam had some grammatical errors that made it more esoteric than necessary.

I notice that most audits are not using this risk based auditing mentality, so learning about it now makes me want to find a way to implement it into my firm!

Great introduction to Blockchain and how it can be used for business. I hope that this catches on and that businesses will use block chain in day to day business.

Presenter gave an effective overview of the topic, including benefits and applications. Briefly discussed why it has not yet "arrived," but explains the potential.

Good course and interesting material presented. Would recommend to anyone interested in blockchain.

The hands-on application of regression analysis, though simplified, was helpful in understanding how to interpret the results

Sussman is excellent. He was one of my MBA professors so I was excited to see him on this platform. If he's teaching a class, you want to take it.

Great stuff as always, Michael. Thanks to Grant Thornton for making this available.

Seems silly to have an exam on this topic, probably because I watched the video after completing 10 Illumeo courses. :-)

This was a nice comprehensive overview of blockchains and their uses.

Overall good. Some repetition from prior courses but actually this one pulled together the earlier concepts and made them more relevant.

Would have been nice to see what we should be doing in Excel. Hard to know if we did it right.

Although I thought the examples to be very helpful, I felt a little confused throughout this one.

It is interesting to learn about how to choose variables and how to look out for omitted variables.

Course was informative and easy to navigate. I would recommend it to a colleague.

The course did a very nice job and explained important, relevant information in a manageable and easy-to-digest manner. The instructor was efficient and broke down the topics in an understandable way.

This course was informative and provided the basics beyond using regressions for forecasting.

The real life examples were helpful to walk through

I do not think that this explained block chain well

Liked the next steps section especially that concisely illustrates what is to come in analytics. Very straightforward course in general and easy to understand.

The modules were very helpful to understand the material.

Absolutely wonderful course. I am going to take the deep dive on email. The activities button in contacts was worth the entire 1.5 hours. Wish he would of started with the views functionality. Still get confused on how to work this function and don't feel confident I have the most effective view on all of my screens.

I appreciated how the instructor took his time in explaining definitions and how to manipulate the data.

Great refresher on basic accounting topics. The materials were easy to follow, and navigate.

This was an excellent overview of fundamental excel functions. I love the multiple uses of examples.

Great introductory course. Love how the presentation was well prepared.

Decent look into regression, sample size of the data was unrealistically small which took away from the learning possibilities.

Michael made it easy to understand the importance of fixed effects in advanced analytics

Regression in excel is very helpful to analyze dummy data. I would like to recommend this course to anyone who is working on analyzing data. By learning this skill is helpful to increase work efficiency.

I thought this course was helpful because there was a real-life example used.

This course did a very good job of going in depth with its explanations of regression analysis.

Great class!

Good review course. Fairly simple accounting concepts.

I found this module somewhat confusing and abstract compared to previous modules. Hands-on examples would've helped distill your points.

Manipulating the data and walking through step by step is very helpful

This course was short, sweet, and straight to the point. The material was interesting and it was easy to stay engaged throughout.

I found this course to be helpful. This material was new to me and interesting to learn about.

Great Comprehensive review of this decision to those unfamiliar with SALT concepts.

this one, although hands on, was dry and difficult to hold my attention the entire time

It says that theory is easy but applying is hard. We are doing theory....

Very informational course. The mid-section can be a bit bland, but it's very useful knowledge.

This course provided great examples of data collection techniques.

This was a good but examination of ethics starting with various scandals and ethics violations to COSO standards to the best practice policies in creating an ethical culture from the top down at a company.

Continues to build on the past courses well. I look forward to the next courses

Very informative class on accounts payable and what they exactly do!!

One of the questions was wrong. It asked about the Z score but referenced marketing rather than bancruptcy.

Very thorough on how to use statistical analysis and other types of analysis for analyzing different types of data. Excellent job tying the information back to real-world application.

I wish there were more examples rather than just slides.

Everything about this course was absolutely fantastic.

It was very helpful to see a live excel demonstration of how data can be analyzed in real time.

Very interesting and insightful course on new data analytics techniques.

Good course.... does a good job of introducing basic concepts.

This course was very useful. It was a good follow up to the Business Intelligence: What is it and why course.

I thought the course was fine for a basic level of knowledge on what BI was as well as some of the advantages and disadvantages.

Good introduction and overview of data collection and cleaning.

great course!!!!!!! going to show my grandkids this course one day so they can learn all this rockin information too!!!!!

This course helped me prepare for a training. I really feel like I got a good foundation.

very good introduction into an area I've never studied

It met all the stated objectives. I thought it was more interesting than the previous two sections.

Thank you for the course. Learned about interpreting data and analyzing data. Helpful course.

The course material was good and simple. I would suggest adding more examples at each level.

I think this was a good introduction to Business Intelligence.

I thought the course provided good detail on a number of the tools available to use for analytics. The time allotted was also very reasonable.

Pretty interesting, especially the stuff on benfords law

Great final course to take that sums up data and analytics. good examples

A little hard to follow if you have never done a regression analysis. Having an easy sample regression and walking through all the steps would help.

This was a quality course related to Data Collection and cleaning 0- I thought that the information provided was very relevant.

Although shorter and more applicable than the last course I completed (Business Intelligence), the case study seemed to be more a repeat of the slides, as opposed to a case study under the academic definition.

I felt the valid test data question was confusing, but other than that, it was a good course!

I thought the review was thorough and introduced the site very well.

Exactly what I needed, added many of the missing pieces for me. I like the format, showing what to do then, doing it. My only gripe is that the exam has questions on charts when no charts were in the course material.

very interesting and I would suggest this course to a college student.

I like how the course was broken up, and how you are able to access the slides.

I love how you used very clear and specific examples! Thank you Leslie!

Good overview of the Segregation of Duties method of review and of why its important

Some more error rectification technique may be included in this course.
