An excellent course overall. I really enjoyed the learning experience and look forward to more courses from Wharton. Special thanks to professor Michael Roberts for providing great value in 1 course.

The professor is very patient, he spends a lot of time making sense of the equations and the calculation process, which helps me comprehend the concepts and their application really a lot. Thank you!

Need to go more in depth on how to do the calculations or have practice problems that can be completed as optional to better understand the content.

Great course, good information. Just wish there was more info and practice questions available. A definitions/formula chart would be really helpful.

Overall very informative. However, some of the correct answers for the quizzes weren't available as options, so that would be something to improve.

It is a well-structured course. Just one suggestion though, the sensitivity analysis seemed a bit confusing. But the rest of the content is great.

Overall good experience but in the week 4 quiz there are issues in 2-3 answers (answer do not match). I request the team to resolve such issues.

Great course to get along with. One who has keen interest in finance must go for this course to have a clear understanding of financial aspects.

Really good course but I definitely think that quizzes could be a little more difficult. More examples should be given during lectures as well.

certain points needed more explanation. I have no background knowledge and so had to search for an external support to pass the relevant exams

Excellent course

A little plus would be the correction of some exercises (sent to the students for example) once the course has been completed.

Great course, didn't cover exactly what I thought it was going to but still taught me a lot of useful information as a beginner in the field.

The problem sets are a bit too easy, but the lectures are very informative and clarify some not-so-intuitive practices in corporate finance.

Course structure was very good but not for a beginner. I am very fortunate to Coursera and all the course members for all the support.

I am not sure how the answers were evaluated, especially the last IRR question, I used excel and got the answer but it did not accept.

The course is very informative, however, it would be nice if after each quiz we have an answer sheet explaining the process.
