Probably a little elementary for most people signing up for this series of classes, but it was a good review and would be a great intro for those with zero experience with investing.

Great course, leant a lot. Certain concepts I think could have been explained a little better, but at the same token this is an online course and it delivered above my expectations.

Course was very advanced. It was mainly focused more on sums and real life problem solving pedagogy rather than teaching basic financial terminology and and its understanding.

Some questions are written in a confusing way and assume things that are not written down. Using different words for the same concept make it confusing if it's not clarified.

Generally a great course. Although early on some mathematical steps were brushed through. Besides that it was a very informative course quantitatively and qualitatively.

1. some in video questions pop up before the concept is being introduced or covered; 2. this course gives a pretty good high-level illustration on some basic concepts

In general a course is very informative and useful. The issues were only some misconceptions, especially in formulas, between video examples and quiz questions.

Pretty Formula heavy but covers a decent relevant range of topics. A lot of personal research is needed to understand the content more thoroughly.

Overall, the course is fine, however there were several annoying typos / rounding issues, which would prevent you from getting the correct answer.

i think the stats is very heavy for the start, should be more theory first and then finish off with the stats
