The materials covered and provided in this course can more readily be found on youtube in ways that are more efficient and easier to understand. If others on youtube can provide similar information in half the time and thrice the clarity, it should be a call to review this educators methods of instruction.

The information provided is accurate, but the explanation and delivery of the information is absolutely painful.

definitely the worst course that I have made in this platform, my only reason for finishing it was to get the specialization.

the tests difficulties don't correspond to the examples given in the lessons.

There is very little practice during the modules

the explanations of the teacher are not so good, she should have made at least a power point.

The course overview is misleading and the information is rushed and doesn't provide enough information as to how the answer to formulas are figured out. I wish I knew this was an advance class as I would have done other course to gain more knowledge before even attempting this course.

Impossible to understand as a beginner. Spelling errors all over. The math work isn’t shown so you have to guess. Awful!

Terrible course, and I can't even leave it (there is no such button, I can only share/review it

the worest course i had take for ever! unfortunately, the professor dont know how to teach.

Very poor communicator. Unfortunately, the quality of the content is lost.

Course was boring and quizzes didn't reflect well lecture materials.

It is difficult to understand.

One because I can't unenroll.

i did not sign up for this

Very bad

While I can understand how some people feel that this course is challenging. Those with no background may find the course moves intensely into math and formulas and applying them. I also have limited background in Finance, but I did take the course "Introduction to Corporate Finance" before this course which made it easier for me to move along this course. So I recommend those who finds this course difficult to take "Introduction to Corporate Finance" first.

Having said that, I actually like the fact that this course focuses both on applying the concepts and formulas to understand finance as well as focuses on the math part as to how the formulas come about. Understanding, how finance formulas are formed helps me understand the concept more deeply. I also liked that this course use less multiple choices in tests, but rather type in the answer (numeric value), as it makes students try harder to come up with the answer.

The professor explains subjects well. The way the content and flow of the course is designed is superb.

Also, I do not see any problems or bugs or mistakes with the four quizzes. All of them has correct answers. Some answers may not be obvious at first, but after contemplating and reviewing the lecture over again, we will arrive at solutions.

The course really gives me a clear insight on the basics on finance, It's really easy to understand and the lecturer do a great job in explaining the concept so it was easier to remember.

It explains clearly each of the financial terms and what it indicates, such as where NPV and IRR differs and where it's viable, Yield to maturity, etc. I would recommend this class to anyone new to finance!

I completed this course as a free trial course. I haven't studied Finance during my school years or in the university. But I understood every bit of it. Week 4 was a bit difficult but somehow managed to go through the course. It was great I got to earn the certificate during the free trial for this course. Thanks University of Pennsylvania

I would like to say from the bottom of my heart that the theoretical knowledge and examples that the course taught me were very important for my academic development. Ms. Jessica Wachter's explanations were very clear, understandable and very interesting. I hope that more videos of Jessica's explanation will be shared. Thanks <3

It is a very good opportunity for those who have little time and want to listen to the course and pass the exam with a free schedule. I appreciate it. I would like to thank every member of the team who participated in the organization of this course, especially our discreet teacher.

This is the first course that I came into contact with when I first entered the coursera platform. The course schedule is very clear. You can learn a lot of practical content about interest rates, securities valuation, NPV rules and so on.

I liked the course a lot. I learned so much about financing, the purchase of bonds, the interest rate, return, YTM, and HPR. But the quizzes sometimes would have questions about things from next week so it would be hard to understand.

Returning to education after a 15-year break was challenging but incredibly rewarding. This journey has reignited my passion for learning finance and accounting. Thanks COURSERA for providing such a beautiful platform.

The course format is good for finance beginners and the teaching is perfect.

the only problem is that I do not know when I should round up my answer in the test, that sometimes bothers me

A demanding course ... but so rewarding ! And the materials provided in the 5th week (optional) go much further ! Favorite learning experience in Coursera ! Thank you Dr Wachter !

It would be very helpful if the solutions were provided to missed quiz questions - there were a few questions I tried a couple times and could never figure out.

The materials and notes are great, esp for me that has no skill and knowledge about finance. The language and delivery are easy to digest. thanks.

Some exercises could use a few hints, aside from that looks very good. The notes are good even for someone who is very rusty in algebra.
