The professor is very patient, he spends a lot of time making sense of the equations and the calculation process, which helps me comprehend the concepts and their application really a lot. Thank you!

An excellent course overall. I really enjoyed the learning experience and look forward to more courses from Wharton. Special thanks to professor Michael Roberts for providing great value in 1 course.

Even though the lectures are helpful and the professor is great, quizs have a lot of mistakes and duplications. The team should take serious actions to review the quizs and improve the content.

Good course

good quality videos

Would be better if terminology and vocabulary specific to the course was more focused on at some point in the course. Or provide a vocabulary list with definitions

The course is great and taught greatly. I can't give five stars because of the enormous quantity of mistakes in the quizzes, which often didn't include the correct answers to the questions.

Enjoyed and easily understood weeks 1 and 2. Weeks 3 and 4 moved quite quickly and would have liked to have seen more examples and a slower pace to really understand the material.

The course material itself is very good. Unfortunately, practice problems referred to in the videos do not seem to exist and there are an awful lot of mistakes in the quizzes.

Course contents are great.

Quizes are very stupid. There are tens of typos and for some of the quizes you cannot find a correct option from the given four due to typos.

The course is good, but there are too many faulty quiz questions. Please fix them, otherwise, they may confuse future students more than reinforce their study.

Some of the quiz questions had serious typos, which was annoying. None of the correct answers were available on multiple quizzes. Embarrassing and disgraceful!

I knew A BUNCH of this stuff already and I've never taken a finance class. They give a good overview, but definitely does not go in depth on anything

Much less content than a previous version, lack of answers after solving the assignments does not help to understand where a mistake was made.

The course is good, covers some important information, but there are many mistakes in the quiz. Also I think the quiz is too easy.

The professor doesn't really go into much detail. Feels like he rushes the course, but the information he does provide is helpful.

Content was great - videos were super helpful, but the lessons and test didn't give the opportunity to really learn the material

Information is interesting but a lot of the quizzes have wrong answers or no answers at all. Quizzes need to be recreated.

It was much less explanatory to those new to the subject. Intro to Accounting by Brian Bushee was much better!
