An extremely confusing course. The course content does not focus on the Behavioral Finance itself, and it, instead, spend most of the time on case’s background descriptions without clear definitions of BF terms. The portion of BF terms and theories definitions are way less than the case background. For me as a learner, I only received a vague idea of BF terms but being asked to identify this terms precisely in the quizzes. The course is basically all relied on slide deck reading. The lecture videos are all 1-5 minus long, and seems the vedios are there just to make this look like a course.

The layout and presentation of this course is clunky and not intuitive. It assumes a grasp on a priori knowledge--which, for a beginners course, does not seem wise. Perhaps the juxtaposition of this course against Dr. Shiller's Financial Markets course (which I just now completed) makes this one come off as worse than it is. The reading material is written in an annoying "hold your breath to find out why this makes sense" style. Regardless, I'm un-enrolling after slogging through the first week and will look for another course on behavioural finance.

The course was very interesting. But one thing to note is that there is a lot of reading to do and a lot less explanation is given by the lecturers. On top of that, the examples in the quizzes were quite vague and exhaustive. And armed with limited knowledge, I found it very difficult to go through them. Also, I got no review/correction as to why did the option I selected was wrong. This way I could have corrected myself

The course is very light on substance. There are significantly better courses and books available on the same subject matter. I definitely would not recommend this course.

Worst course I have done on Coursera. You are expected to learn almost everything from a few pdfs and lectures do not cover much. Definitely not recommended.

The worst course ever. There is no matching between course video content and question. Not much explanation about the biases.

I was looking more for a beginners level course for money management, and this was more geared towards finance.

Certificate is not there ...And after completing of course I didn't get my certificate

too much reading ....explanation is poor.... less understanding

very poor. expected much more and better explainations.

extremely impractical, confusing notes and tests

Complex concepts were not explained well.

The contents are well-structured and easy to understand, with many actual case studies and examples. However, the quizzes could be clearer and should include detailed explanations. The course approaches economics and finance from the human behavioral perspective which is contrary to some traditional economic theories stating that people are always rational. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in cognitive psychology and who wants to apply it not only in financial decision-making to be a wiser investor but also in daily life where many actions are affected by various unrecognized cognitive biases. It is necessary to have a fundamental knowledge of economics and finance before studying to grasp the contents better.

I was exposed to the topics for the first time. Hence, this is a beginner's feedback.

I would have liked the course to be structured in the following manner - Week 1 - theoretical input; Week 2 - Introduction to all biases; Week 3 - Practical examples of specific biases exhibited in real life situations

Some of the biases in Quizzes are not part of the curriculum - does it mean they are false responses or the course did not cover them?

it was so helpful for me to understand this field you know i haven't known heard about behavioral finance and this course gave me a lot , knowledge, strategy, some common subjects in finance and behavioral topics . This helps me to rethink about the future path that i wanted to chose and present . I wanna add this subject to my future reading .if it possible i wanna to learn and study more about behavioral science.

Lovely Professor Emma gently explains why we should be more data centric with financial decisions . For now on I feel still more capable of identifying some behavioral mistakes in population in general, and why is so dificult to fast realize when some decisions have to be done nevertheless the pain involved in whatsoever bias may be present in the situation.

It is trully a life changing course.

This is a great beginners course. It's challenging enough to keep you interested but not so much so as to make you feel out of depth and despaired. The 3 week program ramps up nicely and helps you ease into the material. There are more math than I was expecting but it's a finance course after all so it's not so surprising and one can still follow the course even if not comfortable with numbers.

A very well organized and time-flexible course that is suitable for people who have little knowledge about economics/finance but are eager to learn about the basics of behavioral economics. The course is relatively easy and the coursework is quite light, and the professor have made complicated economic concepts easy to understand (she explained them very clearly). Definitely worth a try!!!

Extremely helpful especially in my case as an FX Trader where I have to make several trade decisions which I now know that mostly are biased in one way or another with the behavioral biases I have learned. Knowing these now, I may be able to enact certain steps to help me in my trades to avoid these biases. Also useful as an investing individual or any individual making decisions.

I consider this course to of been a thought-provoking and rewarding lesson on the psychological pitfalls of investment decision-making. The course provided insight into how and why a market may fluctuate due to how we perceive and react to events. The exercises and examples were key in framing exactly how we make the mistakes and irrational choices in decisions about our money.

I really enjoyed this course's focus on financial decision making as an expertise in making better financial choices, as a leadership skill.

It resonates with me because I am currently looking forward to practicing some financial theories as my architectural model and I think this course is timely to meet the demands of my quest.

Happy to successfully complete this course!

Excellent course. It actually makes you think through the concepts. It is not for those who need spoon feeding. This course has not only developed my knowledge but the perspective of conducting such course during this pandemic situation. The videos & course material is very engaging and thought provoking. I think that is the crux of Behavioral Finance.

turned out to be very demanding course. This course shed some light at the basics of behavioral finance. After the course, it is interesting indeed to continue education/self-education on the behavioral finance/economics issues. in addition, this course came just in time to help better evaluate current projects at work (financial institution)

I just stumble upon this course and like the lecturer says it's a relatively new school of thoughts. It combines psychology and finance or to say find psychology application in finance subjects.

I did come around my university to find finance books written about this subjects but so disappointed I found none physical books, all are ebooks.

I got what I expected when I read the syllabus. This course will give you a general sense of the topic on hand. Discussions are mostly surface level but it is enough for you to understand different behaviours involved. Go take it if you want to start learning about behavioural finance and use this as a springboard to an in-depth journey
