This course I just took for pleasure and in order to have a better understanding of the financial markets. My only regret is that I did not take this earlier, I gained some familiarity with the mainstream aspects that make our society work: insurance, mortgage, banks, securities, etc. The professor was excellent I thought. One of the best classes I've taken in terms of enjoyment and value. Thank you again!

the course was eyeopening for me and very much helped me to understand National economies and clearly the purpose and work of Finance in any economy a little better. I know I have a long way to go but at least I have a foot in the door now. I am interested in finance but I think i face an interesting learning curve. I will survive and make it through. Thanks for opening the door and demystifying it for me.

Great lectures from a professor that makes information relevant. The very thorough explanations and lecture accompanying salon's made this course even better. Also, the quizzes were not very difficult, they felt like they were just reinforcing what you learned, not challenging you to think more in depth. I did not mind that, it felt much more helpful than the quizzes and tests I take in school right now.

This course is an essential foundation for anyone interested in financial services.  It is taught in a very thoughtful, humorous, and human-centric way.  Professor Shiller opens his course with the words “this is not a course on how to make yourself rich to lead a self-indulgent life” and he closes with “maintain humanity in an unforgiving business world”. Being taught by a Nobel laureate is priceless.

This course is a great course for anyone who is new to finance and wants to get a basic understanding of it. Professor Shiller deals with a lot of topics in such a short course and thus leaves us wanting for more. A possible way to guide your way through this course could be attending the lectures and then surfing the internet about the topics discussed. It will definitely enhance the learning process.

It's a great course, includes broad aspects of finance that you will find interesting and useful. From the professional perspective, I could enhance my knowledge in finance, but most of all, understand why and how the different financial instruments really work, what are their upsides and downsides, how to use them smartly and make them useful, not only for self purposes, but for the good of society.

An excellent introductory course. I especially love how Dr. Shiller relates every concept to real-life scenarios. This makes it more encouraging as the concepts then become easier to grasp and the class is based on a more practical approach rather than theoretical one. I would recommend this for anyone who has the slightest interest in Finance/ Economics. This course would enable you to explore more.

This course provided knowledge of the development and history of the Financial Market and explored the possibility of financial inventions for the future. It also introduced important ideas, models, and modern finance theories, which helped students gain the necessary skills for portfolio management of investment. It is not about getting rich. It is about risk management and making good use of money.

This course is very good for us to know a lot about finance, behavioral finance, and managing risk. There is a lot of knowledge that can be used and implemented in our daily lives. Lessons that are easy to understand even though they do not come from a finance background because the explanation is simple, comprehensive and based on reality in life. Very Excellent Course about finance that I ever had.

This course should be taken by anyone who is interested in gathering the basic knowledge of finance and the way it works in our society. I feel really lucky to have had completed this course and it goes without saying that the course content and Professor Shiller's way of teaching stood way beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved this course and will surely miss being in Professor Shiler's class.

Whether you're already in the world of finance or currently looking for places to enter the finance sector, this course would do it for you. The course is excellent, but just an introduction to the topic, so anybody who wants a very deep, graduate level study might be disappointed. Prof. Schiller is an excellent lecturer. The course gives a personal, close feeling of the himself, of Yale University.

This was an excellent update to Dr. Shiller's first Financial Markets course. The lectures as always were excellent. I liked the addition of the salons, chalk talks, and the balloons that appeared from time to time to explain a concept in a lecture. The only small problem was that I was unable to see the pointer's laser in the lecture. I hope Dr. Shiller does more courses - behavioral economics?

Hello, this course is very useful for me as a student with a degree in Business Administration. The material is presented in an accessible and interesting way!

I would like to extend the training period for this course for a few more days, as I am busy at work and did not have time to finish all the assignments. Certification is very important for me and for my training in the profession. Thank you!

Curso incrível! Vale muito a pena para quem quer ter um aprendizado sobre como o mercado financeiro se iniciou e quais suas verticais mais importantes (e qual o motivo de existirem). Um ponto importante: Se você quer aprender a operar no mercado financeiro ou então ficar rico com o mercado, esse curso não é para você. Esse curso é para quem é apaixonado por este ramo e quer aprender as bases dele.

Maybe I am a little too emotional as a person, but this course has been exceptionally helpful and informative. Professor Shiller has precisely defined and articulated the essential concepts in Finance which are more relevant in today’s time than they have ever been. I felt too connected to him although it was a virtual and pre-recorded course, but he’s mastered this art of conveying information.

I enjoyed learning from a Nobel prize winning industry expert prof. Robert Shiller. The way he explained financial market theories to beginners like me helped me to gain strong fundamental knowledge before diving in to the market head first. Also the course helps inspiring business and marketing students like me to come up with innovation ideas for the future. Highly recommended program. Thanks.

The course is more suitable for intermediate or advanced learners. For beginners like me, additional resources such as learning outside of Coursera will help. Such resources can be found on YouTube, which helps me understand the concepts better and easier. This course contains plenty of knowledge to be acquired, but it takes a huge commitment to finish. I hope this review will be useful to you!

I am very much thankful to Proffessor Shiller and Yale University for this course. I learned a lot new things and gained much information about finance and markets. The assignments at the end of every week seemed very helpful in testing our knowledge and Proffessor Shiller was very clear with his teaching and explained concept very well. I've had an amazing and uplifting experience in learning.

This course has been really valuable, offering a comprehensive panoramic of the financial world, along with inside wisdom. Professor Shiller has a great personality, he is extremely competent, very clear, positive and engaging, and all of his guests are extremely competent people as well who can provide insights into real world financial dynamics, projects and realities. A great place to start.

This course is the best financial markets course for non-professionals. It is comprehensive, engaging, and Professor Shiller is a legend. Although I'm a financial markets professional, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot because there are many that you never explore as you specialise. It's the opposite of all the get-rich-quick, but it will help you live a more meaningful financial life.

Pretty broad, with lots of history excursus. Pretty good as an introductory course for those who wants to get some understanding of finance market. Gives you a point where to start, what to read.

If you are looking for some guide about how to trade, you will save tons of time with just some related course on Youtube. But in my opinion, this course will be a solid foundation for further studies.

This is a general course letting you understand the Financial Market. Professor Shiller is a very passionate finance & economic people, he emphasis a lot times that Finance is not about making money. I enroll this course because of this. There's a lot technical terms being discussed but you need to further research if you want to deepen the knowledge. Anyway, it's a great course and I like it.

A VERY good course, I really learned a lot and recommend it. The sequence of information is not 100% didatic, but everything that is mentioned is relevant, one can really delve into the individual subjects in parallel and have a full overview of finance. Some personal comments from Mr. Shiller provide a great insight into some topics, demonstrating how he really master what he is explaining.

It was everything I can ask for. Living in India, I always wanted credible information to understand how the financial system works in countries like the USA and the history of things that are so common around us.

Most important and a huge shoutout goes to the ever humble and charming professor who made it a point to keep the course simple yet informative and relevant.

Thank you to everyone.

For those seeking to broaden their horizons in the world of finance, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring this course on Coursera. It's an incredible opportunity to grow, learn, and adapt in the ever-evolving landscape of financial markets. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Professor Shiller and the entire Yale University team for making this top-tier education accessible through Coursera.
