An excellent course overall. I really enjoyed the learning experience and look forward to more courses from Wharton. Special thanks to professor Michael Roberts for providing great value in 1 course.

The professor is very patient, he spends a lot of time making sense of the equations and the calculation process, which helps me comprehend the concepts and their application really a lot. Thank you!

Again an excellent course. An additional level beyond this Introduction on a paid for basis would be highly beneficial.

The course content seems to be only a subset of a standard course, the last week's course ends somewhat unexpectedly.

Not Bad. Short and to the point topics. Some courses have over 3 hours of videos. This is much easier to learn with.

Should include more problems and case studies. Not enough to fully grasp the implications of the proposed analysis.
