I've enjoyed this course. Prof. Standen gives a very basic but clear overview of the most common financial topics, wished I had this course a couple of years ago it would have made my life way easier.

A clear, if fairly basic, introduction. The lack of discussion forums makes it a fairly sterile experience.

Not a bad overview but overall far too shallow to be of significant worth on its own.
