It's good

tough

Honestly speaking, my experience with this course wasn't great. Reasons are the following: 1) The content of each class was actually not much. However, because the professor spoke so slowly I had to pay extra effort to focus and make the association of different topics in my mind (maybe it's just me; but if you are also easily drained by slow talking, this is going to be a problem with this course). 2) The reading materials in week 3 was misplaced as the content in the materials would only appear in latter videos. 3) A lot of frustration on the quiz - as many students reported rounding effect leading to wrong answer. And there was no support on solving the problems unless someone else published their solution in the forum... And in the case of this class, few were still active on week 4.

The class videos were ok, but the professor writes minimal notes and provides longwinded explanations. The professor will associate with students taking the course at random times when studying and especially when taking quizzes, which is just plain weird. Other than that, enough documentation is provided to understand the material. The course is challenging in some sections, but hard work and commitment will pay off in helping to learn the material.

I found the course informative, but the professor moves quite quickly through the various examples and topics. I feel there are not enough examples to practice which makes it tough to pass the quizes. This is especially true if you are starting from scratch and have not used algebra in a long time. I found that the 'Introduction to Corporate Finance' course deals with a lot of the same topics but on a better pace (for me).

My review for this course is mixed. On one hand, the concepts that were taught were enriching, such as present and future value, NPV, bond and equity valuation, and the Internal Rate of Return. However, I found the lectures and assignments more mathematical than my liking. I definately suggest, although it isn't an official prerequisite, that potential learners have some sort of understanding of complex algebra.

The course itself is very "messy". Even though he main topics are covered but it feels like everything is done in a hurry without any proper background information like why, when and what for. Definitely, 4 weeks of this course is not enough. Fundamentals of Finance should set up a good basis of knowledge as it will be getting harder and harder, but it fails to do so, in my humble opinion.

It has very good videos and notes but very confusing nonetheless. You need to do your own research and wont find the answers in the notes or videos. It would be great if they explained the test from each week at the end since im not really learning anything from my mistakes. Anyways great course definitely not for beginners

The verbage of the questions in the quizes is very ambiguous and I found this particular instructor really hard to follow and the examples not helpful. Definitely not a beginner course under her instruction but this definitely gave me a VERY real understanding of how hard this can be without the right understanding.

The material covered on the videos is clear and easily understood. But there is a whole Week 5 (which is ungraded), which contains important topics, which are not covered by the lecturer on the videos. There are many pdf files in the end that are not straightforward to understand from just reading them.

The content of this course was very advanced and mathematical, but I did not feel like the course design was very student-friendly. Some concepts I had learned previously in another university, so that helped a lot. But for a complete beginner to finance, this would have probably received lower stars.

The notes should be more explicit or the questions/the video should be more adjusted to the objectives of the course; otherwise there are examples on the exam that require knowledge or thinking not even remotely elaborated on during the course.

I enjoyed the course thoroughly, I did find at times the Lecturer being too vague on some of the methods, purely because I found some of the questions in the quizes were not covered to the extent I would have understood them faster.

Good course only gave it 3 stars because of the multiple technical issues when taking the tests which was frustrating at times to say the least. Otherwise instructor is good and the notes are great study aids.

The quizes were extremely difficult in comparison to the rest of the course and the hints on how to answer the questions were misleading and caused me enter in the correct answer in the incorrect format.

Too many of the interesting concepts in the course were skipped over and designated as optional for my preference e.g. CAPM. Instead there was an over emphasis on number crunching in the quizzes.

Great info, but the questions are notoriously difficult and hard to understand. Most questions arent directly discussed but you have to find the right approach to the questions yourself.

The rounding for the answers needs to be more clear for certain questions. Also, there are spelling and formatting mistakes in the written notes. But overall, OK

Classes and notes cover very little of what is actually in the quiz. As it is more difficult to ask questions online I would expect more thorough videos.

the course itself is great, but sometimes the term used in the video isn't match the one present in the question, which really causes some confusion

The lectures were not very comprehensive. In addition, there seem to be quite a few errors in the quiz questions, which create a lot of confusion.

Smart professor, but not the best at teaching. She just goes through the motions without explaining. Does not seem like an intro course either.

Very technical with limited real life example that would be good to highlight the potential for such mathematical load and terminologies.

The course is good but it could improve some details. Sometimes it get confused in some terms and formulas. But it in general is good.

Sometimes explanations can be a bit confusing and too fast paced. Simpler examples can be used in relation to everyday life.
