Confusing explanations referring to other explanations in other courses (so that, it is not self-contained).

Alpha, Beta model not well explained... too theoretical.

IMHO, the worst within the specialization.

Found professor difficult to follow with her scribbling etc. And this is coming from someone who earned his Masters in Finance several decades ago. Just didn't enjoy her style and delivery.

Many times, clarity is not there in excels provided. Further, professor sometimes makes it very confusing. Takes a lot of effort to understand it yourself.
