Not a bad course, the contents is very usefull (thanks to the teacher !).

But, there are some approximations :

- the use of returns instead of log-returns, which leads to optimistic average returns,

- the use of approximate thresholds from double-sided normal distribution, instead of one-sided normal distribution.

- there is a mistake in the quiz : the answer to question 2 is wrong

I do appreciate the efforts of the prof and Coursera team. However, I do hope that this can be a longer course where it gets more depth and have more course modules provided.

The instructor doesn't try to explain the whole parts of the formulas. Speaks not very clear and there's no transcript of his speech to read and understand what he just said.

the instructor were not giving the information about the different terms used in the analysis and the answer of the mcqs was also wrong

have some explanation about the topics that are to be calculated in the project or else it feels pointless doing it.

The instructor could have more enthusiastic in teachinng

It's not a good project. If you don't know anything about Treynor Ratio you are probably not going to learn all there is about it and you won't see the utility of the ratio. If you already know it, then it's just an exercise with a really short conclusion. I give 2 stars because it is still a fun exercise, but you could find something similar or better in youtube.

It would be of more help if the conceptual reasons of using a formula are explained, rather than just mentioning that we need to subtract abc from xyz. If the reasons are explained for the same, it will help in better understanding, conceptual clarity and better analysis.

The video material is okay, but the provided excel sheet was of size 0 KB, making it impossible to work with the same data, and there's even an error in the final quiz..

the quiz has a mistake in calculating the treynor ratio

i couldnt get the sheet to work

More effort and care needed.

the xlsx is not avaliable

This short course is interesting for people who would like to know more about how to calculate VaR and Treynor ratio and practise using a spreadsheet.

However, a number of things left me perplexed:

1) Unfortunately, the course presenter was not easy to understand at times and the presentation of the concepts/theory was not as slick as I would have hoped/imagined (which was a pity);

2) Some of the advice on how to use a spreadsheet for formulae and integrating a reference line in a chart, I would not regard it as best practice;

3) The use of the split screen prompting you to use Google Sheet and asking to submit your password to log into a personal Google account was not something I was happy with. The way the course is set up is that someone can do things alongside the instructor only when working on the split screen application. Any attempt to work on an offline version (on Excel) or opening another window automatically stops the video.

Overall, I think that the course could benefit from a bit of a refresh as it has loads of potential to be interesting and helpful.

Not able understand the course in the starting phase. There should a dedicated video lighting on the basics so that a new person with interest will get help to learn with this particular course. i m in love to explore this course but not able due to lack of basics and the plunge to tell the basics i not taken by the teams. It will be a humble request to add a 5 to 10 mins basics video clip so that it will help a person to get attached to the topic I hope my thoughts will help you guys to improve with the module

With the instructors accent, I had difficulty understanding everything he said. I think a power point presentation with more visual reinforcement of the content would be an improvement.

I couldn't complete the guided project because the video doesn't show us how to get the attachment. It only shows how to upload from my computer to Google Sheet.

literally unusable - the required file is corrupted and people have left comments up to months back saying the same. the course is unable to be completed.
