Global Financial Markets and Instruments is a MUST. Excellent instruction! I truly appreciate the opportunity to receive this course from such a prestigious University - Rice University.

the course is very informative but I would say the material is shallowly explained
many sessions I had to go online on several websites to understand about the subject in more depth which is essential for solving the quizzes (course's Duty) and also to the whole leaning process .
for Example :
Calculating the rate of return on a specified instrument was very hard when there are many future years (5 years from now) it would be a fraction's denominator powered by 5 and 4 and 3 ,the lectures didn't even mention anything on how to calculate this argument
on the Equity chapter for example it's not clear which formula should be used and in what situations. (even after going back on the lectures 3 Times) This made me fail several times the financial assets summary Exam- week3 (see the forum on how many questions there are on this section- not answered)
Arzu is a great teacher but she should go more in the specifics, even though this is a beginner level course, we're talking about investing here
I don't see the forum useful, there is no movement there, people/staff/instructor Rarely reply (Exploded questions unanswered for 6 months already and no body cares)
I would say: go learn Investing somewhere else or read on google.

The material is very well organized, compacted, digested. That's great. My big concern has been the lack of support in the forums. That's fundamental to me and I didn't get almost any answers to my questions neither from instructors nor others. Also would be great if the accompanying notes to the videos have the complete examples. Also a little more detail on types of order details would be very useful. Overall I'm satisfied with the course and gonna keep with the rest of the series.

Interesting topics but this is really an intro only. Initial modules are a bit more thorough than subsequent ones (there are actually formulas - mostly explained how to calculate things), but once we get to stocks trading, margins and short selling it is more and more general. Nonetheless the material is interesting and it does provide a general overview of what is what.

The course material was extensive. Numbers are not my deal, so the 3 was more my limited knowledge than the content of the course and the instructor. I still struggle with numbers and word problems. But i was satisfied with the course material and the presentation of the materials.

Most of the formulas presented are either inaccurate or not sufficiently described. The general framework is good, but formulas should be clearer and accurate. I had to look into other online materials to get better explanation. This should not be so.

A good overall view of the markets and the investible world. It would get 5 stars if there was a broader analysis of different asset classes (i.e. annuity vs annuity due, etc...) and the accompanying notes were more detailed.

The quizzes included either pretty difficult math questions or pretty simple definition questions. I have gained a high level understanding of the various methods of investment from this course.

Not so well structured. Some details are mentioned wrongly (in the lecture and the quiz) so I had a hard time with the calculations. Overall knowledge is good and helpful.

There are some shortcuts taken in example, which are not explained anywhere. And then there is no one solve the doubts, and the whatsapp request does not get accepted.

While the content is really practical. On a number of occassions the questions on the quiz used methods or ideas that weren't really showed how to apply in the class.

En general el curso me ha resultado util y puedo decir que cuento con un buen acercamiento a los temas. Pareciera faltarle profundidad en algunos contenidos.

the course is well aligned with the US market however as a beginner it would be difficult for you to relate, if you are not from US.

Course was good but I think the teacher Dr.O wasn't convinving at all. I find it really difficult in understanding her lectures.

The course is very basic and provides only shallow knowledge. You get familiarized with terms and concepts but no more.

Many errors in notes, a little bit wasting of time to review. More formulas will be better to understand

sessions were informative but could have been more descriptive as the target audience are beginners.
