The course was very well explained by the professors, even the complicated concepts in finance. A student with no knowledge of finance can also learn a lot from this course. The quizzes at the end of every lesson are efficient. Thank you Yale Univ.

the lessons are very clear and not so complex to understand. And the conversation room brings a plus on a way it gave me a space to think on the questions that the students were asking, on which I saw myself with the same doubts. Thanks Professor
