Best online course I've taken. Professor Schiller is great and communicates major concepts in finance in an engaging manner. The tests at the end of every lesson helped solidfy the information. My only complain is that it was only 7 weeks!

I immensely enjoyed this course on Financial Markets. I enjoyed the lessons and I'd like to say that Prof. Robert Shiller conveyed the learnings as a story-teller rather than a typical lecturer which kept my concentration with greater ease.

Tener a un profesor premio Nobel es algo magistral, estás aprendiendo de una mente brillante, los conceptos básicos se aprenden bien y de una forma sencilla, con ejemplos claros, en mis conocimientos hay un antes y un después de Shiller..

The experience Doctor Shiller has in finance is huge, and the way he transfers the knowledge he has to students who may or may not be finance experts is incredible like you can literally understand every topic he presents during lectures.

The professor has a lot of passion and the course is perfectly structured for online teaching. It is required to take notes, otherwise is very difficult to pass the different tests. I really liked it!
