Robert Shiller is an excellent professor. He had touched on so many areas of finace. In his closing remarks, he gave the timeline of personal finance as 100 years. He is absolutely right, In 100 years everything changes completely.

A very good broad course with a lot of historical background information as well. Some parts could be updated or commented on by the pop-ups e.g. the interest rate environment has changed quite a bit since this course was launched.

Outstanding presentment of concepts, engaging open discussions and challenging quizzes. Appreciated the focus on concepts of efficient market theory, finances as a technology and history of innovation. Thank you, Professor Schiller.

This is a good course for people who don't know finances. Learning tecniques and programme is perfect but it needs to be updated:

-Currencies and Crypto currencies.

-Evergrande crisis in China

-Influence of COVID on finances.

Thank you

Good course to learn about behavioral finance. I’m so surprised about the knowledge of Professor Robert Shiller, here goes one of my favorite phrases: “Finance is not about getting rich, it is about making civilization work better.”

The course is extremely useful in understanding the basics of financial markets. I would recommend this for everyone who doesn't have a formal training or exposure to the working of financial markets. Professor Shiller is excellent!

The topics discussed were incredibly crucial for me to learn. Though, I must admit, Professor Shiller's methods of explanation of those topics were SOMETIMES a bit crude (but that's mostly due to his old age, which is acceptable!).

I think that I invested my time very well in taking this course. I learned so much. I liked the student´s forums. I think that if I had a textbook as a reference or complement it would help me out so much to answer the quiz easier.

Great learning material, very well explained. The course does not only consider how to make money, but also how finance drives innovation, growth, and can even reduce inequality when used virtuously. Thank you professor Shiller!

Professor Schiller made the course enjoyable. He is the biggest reason I enjoyed the course. It increased my knowledge vastly in the history and present of financial markets, especially that I come from a non-finance background.
