Hi, I'm Harun Gupta.
I'm a doctoral student in finance at the Yale School of Management.
I'm from Los Angeles originally, and
I've lived across many different cities in the United States, but
I'm very much enjoying my time here at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
I've had the pleasure of working with Professor Shiller
on his Coursera course for all of our learners around the world.
I'm thrilled to be your Coursera teaching assistant for this course.
You'll see me throughout this course in two main ways.
The first is in our chalk talks with Professor Shiller.
These videos provide further explanation and reflection from the lectures.
So for example,
Professor Shiller talks about the idea of regressions in his lecture videos.
So in our chalk talks, we'll delve a little bit deeper into what regressions
are and try to give some examples.
The second way you'll see me throughout this course is what we like to call a TA
timeout.
So you'll be watching a lecture video and suddenly I'll pop up onto the screen.
And so I'm doing this provide an explanation or
a definition of something I think that you should know, and
afterwards I'll disappear and the lecture video will just continue.
I hope that you find both the chalk talks and
TA timeouts helpful as you navigate financial markets.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy this course.
