Beginner friendly course and perfect for anyone seeking fundamental knowledge of Financial Markets. The best part about this course are the snippets of discussions, salons & chalk talks and the emphasis on social and behavioural aspects of Finance rather than general theory.

A very beautifully structured course. It will appear to be cumbersome but if one follows-up closely with the professor's lectures and the TAs then he or she shall surely sail through the quizzes at the end of each lesson.

PLEASE BE ATTENTIVE WHILE WATCHING THE LECTURES.
