The course was very informative The capstone project could have had more explanatory videos for better understanding of the questions provided in the quizzes and peer graded assignment.

For peer review: I wuold add the possibility, by the valuated candidate, to express a counterback valuation on the person who assigned him/her the vote, relative on the efficacy of the suggestion and the consistency of the judgement on his work.

Good capstone, online learning in general is a bit frustrating, but the course was solid and I appreciated the chance to do something more interactive. Recommended!

the courses are good, however, the questions of the quiz are so confusing and makes me testing again and again for my result and finally found out it's the date period was using wrong, and it's due to the unclear question.

The coursework is clear however you might want to rethink how you use the Coursera website in order to set the request/ coursework out. Navigation around this course is difficult and at times confusing.

The Capstone project could have been something more rigorous - more to do with Business/Financial Modelling.

The course is too disheveled and, as a result, takes more effort than it should to complete.

More detailed learning material need to be provided. The course is too brief.

I was enjoying the ending of my specialization a lot, however it is very very needed to say that week 3 quiz is insanely overtuned and requires to find and use knowledge that was not part of the materials or videos in the whole specialization ( 4 courses + capstone).

Too much focus on portfolio investments topic. Would expect more on modeling principles in broader context.
