I've enjoyed this course. Prof. Standen gives a very basic but clear overview of the most common financial topics, wished I had this course a couple of years ago it would have made my life way easier.

The presenter is good and knowledgeable, but the information is barely skimmed over and there isn't any real opportunity to learn. A few worked examples might be good

It was great in the beginning but became a little boring later on. However, content was good on most part though I would recommend adding a few more basic topics.

The course gives a brief but concise overview of Finance. It would have been better if some more concepts and case studies had been incorporated.

The contest is ok, since it provides a general view. Practical examples in Excel would have been great, for determining ratios, cash flows, etc.

COULD BE MUCH BETTER IF THERE IS NOT SUCH A WEIRD PASSING CRITERIA FOR COURSES AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE IT ONCE EVERY 8 HOURS

The course is good for getting an overall idea of the main topics of finance but not on getting a deep understanding on them

A clear, if fairly basic, introduction. The lack of discussion forums makes it a fairly sterile experience.

Not a bad overview but overall far too shallow to be of significant worth on its own.

it needs more explanation for the subjects, instead of just so many headings.
