This course is really useful and gives you an expanded view of Business Valuation. I think this knowledge would be necessary if you're projecting yourself to work as an Investment Analyst. This will also be useful in the long run if you're in the position of strategic decision making.

This course gave me a clear overview of valuation & strategy and how it is used in practice. Furthermore, the topics of real option valuation and game theory were very interesting.

If you are still thinking about taking this course, stop thinking and just do it! You will not regret it.

Lot of efforts from faculty to give examples from various domains to explain the concept. As the course is advanced by design,  we need to do refer additional references. Combining all such key topics and delivering it in 5 weeks is commendable. Thanks to Prof.Hans and all his teams.

Great course to expand you tools in valuating projects under uncertainty. The program is not comprehensive in a way to give you a full basis and complete confidence in how to use all the tools provided, but is a great theoretical and practical bottom line to start building upon.

This course gave me valuable insight in order to better value a company. Not by using static DCF Analysis but by combining DCF Approach with real options theory, It is very useful in the future path of my career. Thanks a lot coursera for providing such a brilliant course.

The course was very informative and eye opener for me. As I am not from finance background it was an uphill task for me to understand the terns and concepts. Thank you for the course. If you could have excel sheet templates for all topics it would be a great help.

I believe this course is the most useful one within online educational sources of finance and valuation subject. Indeed, it includes Real Options Theory and Game Theory which you can find them just in the most prestigious universities with expensive tuition fees.

Excellent course, I learned a lot of new concepts and the format was such I had to work to understand in depth to pass the certificate tests. The instructor, Professor Han Smit was very engaging and explained the concepts very well

Would recommend this course

Excellent explanation and exercises of key topics related to traditional valuation, real option valuation, and game theory. I recommend that you have completed an undergraduate-level of finance course to understand and apply the key concepts in this course.

A novel course to learn beyond generic company valuation by inculcating real-world scenarios and estimations.

A complete specialisation course in Modeling and Valuation must be provided by the institute which would be amazing for complete learning. Awaited!

I absolutely loved the course. It was well laid out and the quizzes were not exactly easy either. Loved the professor's teachings on video. Made me understand the basics perfectly. Would love to take more courses from the Prof and the school. 5 Stars!

Provides with a very robust understanding of valuation and its different applications in the IB, PE and VC industry. Professor Han Smit helps clarify the entirety of the course through dynamic and entertaining classes which exemplify its daily uses.

Great course, it is very detailed and very well explained. its chronolgical order and very clear structure of what we will learn each week aroused interest and i enjoyed returning every time to study and practice. I Highly reccomended!

Awesome course! Recommend that you have a strong background in finance prior to taking it though as these are indeed some advanced strategies. Great content, learned a lot, and will definitely be using these new skills moving forward!

Well laid out course. High quality videos, challenging quizzes and interesting reading materials. Feel confident that I can apply the majority of the content taught on this course in my future career within the financial world!

Excellent course.

In some cases some elements are not clear and I wish it was possible to get the possibility to get some further details, however it may not be compatible with the essence of a MOCC

Anyway thank you

Excellent class, the lessons provided are clear and explained in a thorough, passionate manner.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in getting a foundation in company valuation and real options strategies.

The course is really helpful for anyone wants to improve knowledge in finance. The course is well-structured with samples and case study help me understand more about valuation, theoritical framework, etc.

I think could be valuable for this course, incorporate some exercises in excel or other spreadsheets to have a better comprehension and to get the lesson on pdf for reviewing the course before the quizzes.

Very comprehensive and well-taught. I learned a tremendous amount of valuable material, and the content was about as challenging as in my MBA courses. This is honestly the best online course I've taken.

Great course- the material is engaging, and the assessments are challenging. The honours case study is worth doing to test your knowledge, plus the case study is a classic and well documented.

Interesting course on valuation methods. It is an advanced course so basic valuation and calculation skills are required.

The graded test are pretty difficult. The video's explain it all.

Excellent content both conceptually as well as examples and exercises. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in learing valuation beyond the DCF models that are traditionally used.

Very informative course however it would be better if we could have more opportunities to practice before the quiz as well as clearer answer's to the wrong answers for the final quiz.

Çok güzel ve anlaşılabilir kurs ve sunumdu. Çok teşekkürler Profesör Hans Smith. Kendimi geliştirme fırsatı verdiğiniz için çok teşekkür ederim.

Hidayet Mat
