Ratings and Reviews
This course was excellent!!! In a structured way it helped me gain the understanding I was looking for. Andrew Metrick combines the knowledge and teaching skills that really made the difference. I also found a lot of value from the interactions with the course mentor, Guenter Leonhardt. The presence of Tim Geithner provided valuable direct testimony. This was my first course at Coursera and really encourages to take more. I only hope I can find Andrew's likes as teachers.
Very informative and thorough, with a good overview of relevant topics
very structured course, you learn something above and beyond the financial crisis - you learn something about the whole financial system.
