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.

It was a really nice course. The professor explained each chapters very well. Also the practice lab notebooks were also helpful to understand well.

There should be 2 programming assignments as well. That will make the course more challenging and difficult to pass by just skimming through videos

Muy buen curso sin embargo tienes que tener un poco de conociemiento de python ya que con el transcurso del curso el enfoque es más en estadística.

Some statistical concepts required more explanation than provided. Often I had to learn about the concepts myself. Otherwise, it's a great course.

I thought this offered a very valuable introduction in to the use of Pandas within Python, with work through notebooks and examples in the videos.

The course gave food insigts on Statistics mainly with little less weightage on Python. Overall a decent start for financial analysis with Python

Overall the course is good but the python codes used are not explained properly. So for python beginners like me, it was difficult to understand.

The content of the program is very useful although some question in the quiz are needed to be updated. I have learnt a lot! Thank you very much!

To improve this course, I think that it might have at least a pdf of the lecture because this is helpful for us during the exercise and tests.

Relatively easy course that has taught me a number of useful panda tricks. Notebooks are used just for demonstration and not very challenging.

Great for an intro / refresher in statistics and forecasting fundamentals. Would recommend having some Python knowledge before registering.

Professor can do hands simultaneously with lecture then it will be more beneficial and easy to understand instead of explaining from slides

A decent beginners guide to financial analytics.

Don't expect much as this is more like a foundation course for more in depth complex once.

Very good content and excellent notebooks! Didactics (concepts, their relation with each other and applications) could somehow improve.

Very interesting, but some concepts went too fast. It is also very difficult to learn how to code, other than copy-pasting the lines.

Background required, the course often provides no additional/explaining information about technical details, need to use google)

Overall nice course. Sometimes the instructor skips some logical steps. It would also be nicer to see the coding happening live.
