I'm terrible at math but this course explained the concepts to the point where I was able to get through the materials successfully. Practice will lead to technical proficiency.

Overall, I found this to be a really strong course. Very much enjoyed Professor Smith's lessons each week and feel like I now have a excellent foundation of knowledge. The only reason why I didn't rank the course with five stars is because for a few of the lessons in Weeks 7 and 8, I had trouble following along because the video didn't show the documents to which Professor Smith was referring. A voiceover in these sections would've been helpful. Am sad to be done! Highly recommend.

It excellent approach to understand the finance for non-financial managers. The video quality of the shared balance sheet and other statements should be improved, as it is currently very difficult to read them in the video. In modules 6, 7, and 8, more calculations should be shown on the whiteboard during the video, as it's difficult to understand them when explained verbally without being written down.

Very well covered from Basics. The concepts are well explained. In a few videos while the instructor is explaning it will be easy to follow if the sheet that he refers is also shown. And highlight the line items that he is referring to. The clarity of the sheet can be better at certain places. Overall I enjoyed the course and got to learn something new. Thank you!

Really good course, very straightforward. The only suggesting I would make is to have the example sheets on screen to know exactly where certain figures come from and to show every single calculation, for a non finance background person can be quite hard to keep up and understand where certain figures and calculations are coming from.

I really enjoyed this course and the instructor but there were some technical issues with the course. There is a lesson around Week 6 that recorded the instructor talking with the tech guy on how to properly use excel. Should have been edited out from the presentation...
Other than that, I found the course VERY helpful.

Well paced and a solid overview of basics with interesting evaluation methods presented at the end. Sometimes the videos wouldn't show the calculations that were done which made it more difficult to follow along and the low quality made it difficult to read but these do not stop one from learning.

The course was excellent and simple for those of us from the non financial background. However, would appreciate quick responses( atleast within 2 working days) to my activity/queries (which are still awaited).
Thank you.

Very good course. I only wish the material used was provided up front so you could follow as you go as the video is not clear and in some cases, the material is not shown when the professor is going through the class.

Amazing course, It helped me workout the information on the stock market and start using such analysis to make my own investment decisions. I hope to further use this knowledge in my career as a Project manager

Great course but at some modules, there should be improvement and detail-check whether the audience will likely understand the explanation or not.
