Very good and progressing learning curve with good assessment and discussion forums to help check our progresses . It is a shame that the discussion does not seem to be monitored ( responded) by the professor as some people might need support and more explanation on probability analysis and concept ( eg the concept of Distribution )

The course is the good introduction of risk management fundamentals. It set the building blocks of the traditional market, credit, and operational risks and the addition of other emerging risk types and strips that constitute the foundations of risk management framework, development and applicatons. The use of relevant artefacts including papers, reports, and surveys as the course supports help for deepen understanding of the concepts. I recommend this course.

First I want to clarify that I study Risk Management because I thought it would increase my knowledge in the PM career, I'm in the 3rd week of this course, and the Instructor Mr. Joseph Iraci has great knowledge, yet He can't explain the subject well enough, or even stay on the same line of the discussion which leads me to get lost in too many threads on my head (don't know which is which or what belong to where) This course would be great if just someone goes over it and edits it to make it linked and clear enough for beginners to understand and wrap their heads around

First part of the course was really interesting but then things became boring and bad described. Formulas in lessons are not enough to solve problems in quizzes. I expected much more from this course(
