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!

I knew A BUNCH of this stuff already and I've never taken a finance class. They give a good overview, but definitely does not go in depth on anything

Much less content than a previous version, lack of answers after solving the assignments does not help to understand where a mistake was made.

The professor doesn't really go into much detail. Feels like he rushes the course, but the information he does provide is helpful.
