Overall great for wanting to understand more about the basics of the financial markets. However, the course content focused way too much on history and very little practical use.

There are some videos where the lesson gets cuts over to the students having a conversation with he lecturer. That does not seemed to be a very smooth transition.

This course is not well designed and not the best course for international users. There is too much quizzes and assigntments. Most of the videos consist of interviews, which i didn't learn anything from them at all. Professor is experienced and knows what he is doing, but he speaks slow and deviates from the subject time to time.

It is very interesting and I learn a lot but I had to google and learn a lot outside of this course in order to understand the videos. Also this course it has been created 10 years ago so it needs an update. Anyways, Professor Shiller is a genius. So insightful and makes you want to learn more!

Irrrelevant stories between lessons, misstructured curriculum, basic definitions were not showned, complex math with no use from the beginning and sometimes the tests included criterias you coudn't remember you have learnt about.

I have to drop it.

The course is incomplete is certain areas and jumps around far too much. It seems to have been put together with snippets of the original course and leaves too many gaps.

Didn't really like the course, quite unengaging and many different deadlines that came up after week 1. It was a bit overwhelming and I didn't get much out of it either

This course doesn't provide the fundamental element and the basis of financial markets. It is a collection of novels about financial markets and istitution

Professor seems to skip a lot of essential information and he is pretty hard to follow. Definitely an academic and not a instructor.

I find it interesting but feel disappointed that the quizzes seem unnecessarily difficult to pass right from the start!

I only made it through week 1 but this is not a starter class. At one point to prefessor said it was an ECON 220 class if I understood correctly, which is up in the air because hes never very clear. Not a single term mention was every actually defined. He honestly kind of just threw words and equation out there and was like "i bet you or your upper class men have heard of this before" and then didnt explain. Its also just clips of an in person class. Like maybe 10 minute segments. Its very choppy, don't reccommend.
