I really think the explanations should be displayed on the screen when the course is being discussed, in this way we shall be able to relate to it as this just is PASSIVE listening for me.
Too much of stats which I believe was unnecessary.

I expected it to cater people who have no knowledge on finance (as said in the course requirement). This course should have been more informative. I did not want stats and data to make me understand, I wanted explanations and understanding of concepts.

Honestly, I am not a finance person but offer finance courses to the financial institutions and am supposed to take this course to understand the financial markets. I am getting along. Thank you.

Its a good introduction to understanding how markets work. However the instructors accent can be hard to understand at times and the information is very simple.
