I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was extremely satisfied by Prof Shiller's lectures. The chalk talk helped to expound on certain ideas or financial lingo that seemed challenging to understand at first. Kudos to the team and hope to take another class by Yale!

Professor Shiller is a great economist and a great teacher, his broad knowledge and way of teaching is simply superb. I wish I had professors like him in my college. Nevertheless this course felt like directly sitting in the yale classroom and learning from him.

Love the course

Love the content

Love the professor

He really sees beyond the "classic" finance and it's great that he's trying to teach people about it.

Subjects are often explained well enough so that financially illiterate people (like me) can understand them.

Great course led by a very intelligent and entertaining lecturer. It's excellent for beginners because it's passable, but it has its challenges along the way. It does introduce some mathematical formulas, but you don't need to master those to pass the course.
