I think the professor doesn't go into as much detail as is required on some of the concepts and calculations

There should better control (fast forward, rewind, etc.) when projects to a different screen. That’s for the developers of this app. As for the content, maybe less US sport references as examples. There are many learners who are not necessarily familiar with US sport scenes.

Time Value of money is an important concept for investments and their valuations. The calculator instructions are important. It would be helpful to also include Excel function and modeling instructions

I have been struggling with stats and all the quants for a long time and for the first time in my life this video made me think that stats is easy. ALL thanks to this UDEMY and to the teacher and the course provider. You can finish the whole reading within half an hour and that’s just amazing I’m a working professional and I cannot dedicate too much time on CFA curriculum but this reading helped me a lot.
