Great course to understand the basics of financial markets, feels superficial but provides tons of new concepts and terminology that will be necessary to start in the world of finances. With enough curiosity you can expand on concepts provided here, and get a better understanding of economics.

Thank you to Professor Schiller for making the lecture available. It covers a lot of the basics of the financial markets. Some of the assignments' questions are to test our understanding of the basics, and some require deeper thinking. The modules are practical in substance, not just theories.

Excellent course. Professor Shiller is a superb teacher. However, this course is not strictly for beginners. It is implicit that the prospective student has a knowledge of finance and investments. In other words, has completed at least one or two undergraduate courses in finance & investments.

It's nothing short of a phenomenal course conducted by an extraordinary professor whose way of teaching is sure to evoke an interest in finance among the learners. This course has given me a well-round understanding of financial instruments, their uses, as well as the importance of regulation.

It was a very interesting course, I just wished we the frontiers between chapters could have been drawn more clearly. Like CAPM & Efficient portfolio theory could have had a dedicated chapter that we would have then completed with a behavioural finance chapter (that is more or less week 2).

I would especially like to thank the teacher for the information available to everyone. Even complex topics were presented in very simple words and clearly. The professor also speaks slowly and clearly, which helped me, as a non-native speaker, to understand everything he is talking about.
