I believe I have developed a better understanding of Financial Market. Amazing how closely it relates to and gets driven by human psychology. Human behaviour can be so irritational at times to the extent that we need regulations and laws to protect us from the consequences of our actions.

I am surprised at how closely this course was linked to my own culture in financial markets, despite being very far from the US. So, now I think I understand finance much deeper thanks to this course. Many thanks to the highly esteemed Prof. Schiller for his scintillating presentations.

I have been a big fan of Robert Shiller's since learning of his development of the Case-Shiller Housing and S&P PER Indices, and after reading Irrational Exuberance, so it was a great honor to be able to study with him, even if it was online through pre-recorded video viewed from Japan.

While some of the material can be dry, the overall course is very worthwhile. Shiller's knowledge & insight are welcome, but the course is also greatly enhanced by the various discussions with students (beyond just those labeled as salons). The two bonus interviews were also excellent.

I had a different approach to financial markets. The first is the language, the second is the knowledge I didn't learn at the university in Vietnam. I thank the professor for conveying very useful information through the lessons and interviews. I wish you good health and happiness.
