the course was good but it could have been better if more real examples were embedded!

A highly interested method to consider a company value beyond the free cash flow NPV

I think it is great for having a broad view of what advanced corporate finance is.

Special angle, but the accent of the professor add difficulty to the course.

Really well strucntured vourse that goes well beyond mere DCF analysis.

Perhaps you include some form of spreadsheet based learning tools.

Really useful when it comes to valuation and investment decisions.

It is a good course but concepts should be elaborated more clearly

The pronunciation of Han Smit is very difficult to understand.

Wanted more resources or reading material

Add some more examples in each section.

Interesting and helpful course

Great course.

Too rushed

For someone with no background in finance or accounting, this course was very interesting and educational; however, because not all concepts are explained and examples are not presented for each topic, it made passing the exams very challenging. I am also certain that intermediate rounding contributed to incorrect final answers despite applying the correct methodologies.

Many of the videos are clearly reading scripted text rather than natural instruction based on personal knowledge. This is necessary to keep the videos short and accessible, but it made some of the content more difficult to follow or understand. I could have used more discussion on the "why" for certain assumptions and calculations.

The animated videos as well as those with professor Han Smith were quite good and fun to watch. Sometimes the calculations were a bit difficult to follow, especially on a smaller device (iPad), but it's ok for an advanced course. What I didn't like so much was the overall structure - some things seem to be repeated randomly, not only from the introduction in part 1. Other topics seemed to pop up in quizes or discussions first time, and I found it difficult to navigate to the corresponding video to digest it again.

Material itself is very interesting and thorough. Some explanations are best served by examples, which is done in this course however there are instances where wording and verbosity has overcomplicated otherwise simple concepts, namely in week 3 (lots of jargon).

All in all, pleasant introduction to game theory and real options valuations methods.

While contents of this course are extremely interesting and useful in the world of corporate finance and valuations, the content and program could've been made a little better. Some presentations and contents where missing or incomplete. More textual support might've also helped a bit. Otherwise very interesting course with helpful content.

Der Kurs hat gute Denkanstöße geboten. Allerdings war er meiner Meinung nach zu oberflächlich und nicht dem Schwierigkeitsgrad entsprechend.

Des Weiteren waren einige Aufgaben sehr missverständlich geschildert.

Um einen neuen Denkanstoß zu bekommen, kann ich diesen Kurs allerdings empfehlen.

-test are pretty good

-only one case study for honors certificate

-lecturer sometimes difficult to understand

-same introduction videos at beginning of each unit

Course could have been more thorough with more number of modules and better exercises.

NAO FOI MUITO PROVEITOSO PELA MINHA DIFICULDADE COM A LIGUAGEM

It got too confusing for me as it proceeded.

I think the course is based on an interesting premise of incorporating real growth options and game theory in the valuation, but I have been slightly disappointed as I consider the applicability limited. As acknowledged in the final note the key to utilizing this sort of analysis is obtaining the highly uncertain values under different scenarios for different players. In an Advanced course like this I was hoping to get at least some guidance on how to estimate these payoffs for different players under different scenarios while only having limited information, so I could take it out of the theoretical context and apply it in practice.

The tests are harder than the lectures
