Disappointed with the fact some videos have mistakes. I didn't find the notes helpful and had to use the internet to pass the tests.

Course does cover the basics, but has some dead links throughout the quizzes and 'handouts'. Needs to be cleaned up.

I find the introduction of this course not well managed or moderated. while credits to Professor Ozoguz for her knowledge, the methods and video explaination have not been helpful for me. the available resources do not have a step by step process and enough examples that i can ingrain it into my head and give the fact it should be an introductory course, do feel that the questions being asked are more advanced and i struggle to grasp the terminology and formulas given. when going through the answers one of the solution i remember is to get the answer by trial and error via excel. if that was the case there should be an introductory course on how to do that as well. I urge this module to be moderated again with more attention to detail.

The professor makes constant errors during her presentations. One or two is okay, but I completed the first module and she made an error in almost every video. It’s not very conducive to learning. Also, she often said “you can figure out the calculation...” and wouldn’t provide the answer for us to check if we were right.

The professor does not explain the concepts clearly, a lot of mistakes, I tried to calculate a mortgage for 2 hours with her formula and there was no clear explanation of how to do it plus a mathematical mistake. I am very disappointed.

Sadly the instructor is very hard to understand. Her speech is not clear and she jumps around too fast without explaining how she reached solutions ,conclusions etc.

Very possible that this too advanced for my level of knowledge.

A week in and there have already been several mistakes in the lectures. This is very discouraging, don't understand why the professor didn't they the time to redo the videos with mistakes, they are very short anyway...

Lectures do not cover the formulas that are needed for calculations or are doing a very poor job with it. No references to where to find the stuff which is unclear. The course is quite frustrating at times!

The teacher fails to present necessary equations especially after the first week. The "notes" are just the slide decks. And the solutions to the quizzes fail to adequately explain the answers.

The topics and concepts are touched just on the surface, assignments often have confusing questions and/or incorrect answers
