Maybe not perfect for understanding 100% of the topic but it is an amazing guide to getting a grip on the topic

No complaints so far. He talks through the CFA's LOSs on this topic, emphasizing the main points - and rephrasing things where necessary to make clearer

could be better if the tutor gives live examples of calculations on excel in order to visualize the effect of solution to any problem

The professor knows what he is talking about. However, in my personal opinion, he didn't spend enough time on the practice questions of each topics. It'd would have helped tremendously if he went over 1-2 practice questions for each topic, despite it adding more time to the videos itself. Overall, thank you for making a video.
