Arzu Ozoguz is an exellent teacher - so nice and calm, I liked her explanations very much! There were some problems with quizzies but with solutiom=ns it becomes clear.Thank you for the opportunity!

T鈥媓e subject was simplified for beginners in the field of financial market instruments. Instructor explained all the details very clearly. Overall I had a very positive experience with the class

Inconsitent formulas where used in the solutions. These formulas were also not explained in the lectures which intentionally does not setup the students for success for those questions in the Quizes.

So many equations left with "you can solve that" or not fully explained. Most of the teaching was done like a classroom that you dread with writing on the chalk board and so many miscalculations.

Brief highlight of topics, with no proper demonstration of formulae derivation. Examples are often brief and the practice questions are often much harder than the actual examples given.

The handwriting of the instructor is not so good. It's not easy to follow. I think it'd be better if the instructor use Powerpoint slides and avoid a alot of handwriting.

Quite a few types in lectures and quiz solutions. The typos discredit the lecturer in a sense even though she is actually very knowledgable.

Disappointed with the fact some videos have mistakes. I didn't find the notes helpful and had to use the internet to pass the tests.

Some calc and formulas are not clear otherwise the course allowed to have a general overview on financial instruments and trades

Course does cover the basics, but has some dead links throughout the quizzes and 'handouts'. Needs to be cleaned up.

I find the introduction of this course not well managed or moderated. while credits to Professor Ozoguz for her knowledge, the methods and video explaination have not been helpful for me. the available resources do not have a step by step process and enough examples that i can ingrain it into my head and give the fact it should be an introductory course, do feel that the questions being asked are more advanced and i struggle to grasp the terminology and formulas given. when going through the answers one of the solution i remember is to get the answer by trial and error via excel. if that was the case there should be an introductory course on how to do that as well. I urge this module to be moderated again with more attention to detail.

The professor makes constant errors during her presentations. One or two is okay, but I completed the first module and she made an error in almost every video. It鈥檚 not very conducive to learning. Also, she often said 鈥測ou can figure out the calculation...鈥 and wouldn鈥檛 provide the answer for us to check if we were right.

The professor does not explain the concepts clearly, a lot of mistakes, I tried to calculate a mortgage for 2 hours with her formula and there was no clear explanation of how to do it plus a mathematical mistake. I am very disappointed.

Sadly the instructor is very hard to understand. Her speech is not clear and she jumps around too fast without explaining how she reached solutions ,conclusions etc.
Very possible that this too advanced for my level of knowledge.

A week in and there have already been several mistakes in the lectures. This is very discouraging, don't understand why the professor didn't they the time to redo the videos with mistakes, they are very short anyway...

Lectures do not cover the formulas that are needed for calculations or are doing a very poor job with it. No references to where to find the stuff which is unclear. The course is quite frustrating at times!

The teacher fails to present necessary equations especially after the first week. The "notes" are just the slide decks. And the solutions to the quizzes fail to adequately explain the answers.

I'm a Rice University graduate and this course is just terrible. It is sloppily contrived and the forum is completely ignored by the instructor. This is a complete waste of my time.
