Gautam Kaul is really awesome. He just doesn't teach but really interacts with us even with online videos. It always feels like he can see me and is really talking to me personally.

Amazing professor! Always gives clear explanations, and his concept -> formula -> application "flow" in teaching really helped understand the lessons. Great course overall

Dr. Kaul touches on some key financial concepts that are important for everyone to understand. I like how he takes his time in teaching them and also tries to bring the concepts back to real life. Some of the questions in the quizzes are worded more complexly than in the teachings... which can becoming frustrating for some. Still, I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in understanding the basics of financial planning.

Being new on using Coursera I started with this very basic level course just to have an idea of this platform and the content of course so I completely enjoyed doing this as I already was aware of the concept but at the same time I learnt to use TVM formulas on excel through this course looking forward to do some more courses but this time with some difficulty level.

Professor Gautam is a really engaging mentor who entices his students to understand the beauty of finance. He is authentic, witty, and affable in nature. He inspires me to take up finance on a higher level. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to learn a little more about finance, which could better help you to make better financial decisions.

I feel like this was a beneficial course for me. The math itself is very straightforward, but determining how to frame the problem was trickier. I found drawing a timeline to be helpful with the more complex problems.

Professor Gautam Kaul rocks. Financial concepts are well explained and give a deep understanding of the material and the same time course is very much alive and engaging unlike other typical finance courses.

Real good initiative from Prof. Kaul to clarify all possible doubts regarding the plinth of Finance, i.e., Time Value of Money. I consider myself to be fortunate.

I felt like a lot of time was spent on small talk and chatter, the information content was very low in comparison to the video lengths, which are unnecessarily long.
