It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

The course was a bit fast-paced and explanations could be more lucid and elaborate. Please increase the number of modules and provide more practice sets.

Some materials (Notebooks) are not updated in the quizzes

The videos could explain better some concepts that are key to understanding financial analysis

Good course. However, it can be little bit difficult to understand the statistical concepts for the students who do not have statistics background.

It's not bad, but it's not great either. I guess it works as a good starting point for further research, but the content is pretty general.

Overall a great experience but was not having a finance background so using these stock market terms for the first time was a challenge.

The course is somehow overlapped with the course ISOM2500.Moreover,i do not think that I have really learned a lot regarding Python.

A per-requsite of statistics is required. One should review the basics of statistics before taking the course. Pace is too fast.

It's a bit difficult for students who have no either coding or statistic background to understand the content of the course.

El curso presenta conceptos complicados y no están lo suficientemente bien explicados por lo que se hace difícil de seguir.

Overall pretty good, somethings are pretty much just glossed over and you have to figure out yourself or just plain skip.

La primera semana fue excelente, las otras no tanto. Los ejercicios son muy buenos y ayudan al proceso de aprendizaje.

Basic introduction to Python pandas module and statistics. I had expected a little bit more advanced financial models.

Do not recommend. Try other courses that specify on the individual topics rather than skimming over all 3 !

Good course! It will be better to put more challenging questions as a practice in the jupyter notebook.

The basics were not explained properly.

A lot of code was unexplained.

Forum doubts were not answered .

Lots of info to learn. Does not challenge you to actually write the code, which is a big drawback.

More time should be devoted on python syntax used and more models and examples should be included

It did deliver the content it was supposed to, but it could be done in a more slow-paced manner.
