Very Manageable

I thoroughly enjoy my study experience. What I particularly like is the practical approach to learning, where I can apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach makes the subjects more engaging and helps me grasp the concepts better. In terms of improvement, there can be more interaction with industry professionals through workshops or guest lectures. This would provide valuable insights into current industry practices and trends, enhancing the practical aspect of the studies. Summing up, my overall study experience has been enriching. It equips me with a solid foundation in business intelligence and data analysis while allowing me to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

Old books and bibliography on the way!

I liked the disposition of the director of the program. There are many subjects that can be improved with a little more organization. However, it's a good start if you're looking for an introduction into the critical edition world.
