Course was very well structured, pacing was very pleasant (albeit a little fast for the chapter about time series). Teachers were top notch! I had lots of fun while learning . Thank you!

The design of the course is very Helpful and efficient. The course is well explained. The instructors are very clear and master the subject. They very detailed and well organized.

Good content and quality. Coming from machine learning this gave me a new perspectives, e.g. a topic like endogeneity or the different kind of statistical tests.
I did the course using R, RStudio and R Markdown for the course assignments and that worked great. However, the course is taught without any reference to specific software packages and I think that's a big plus.
Some of the assignments were too academic for my taste (proving statements). I would have rather liked more examples showing different aspects and situations of the taught topics.

Very interesting intermediate course in Econometrics. I strongly recommend for both new learners and those are interested in refreshing their knowledge in econometrics.
Maybe some blocks are too theoretical, there are some "bugs" in the content, and I miss a bit more of applied econometrics using statistical softwares.
Definetly a very good example of teaching econometrics through MOOC, my heartfelt congratulations to the Econometrics team of the Erasmus University for the great job, it has been a really valuable course to attend.

In my opinion, this is a very well-structured introductory course. If you have no background in Econometrics, it might be useful to introduce you to the concepts. If you've already taken an Econometrics course, it will be useful to refresh different concepts and estimation techniques. Just to take into consideration, if you want to get deep into the training exercises and follow all the formalization aspects that are presented, it takes way more than 4-8 hours a week. You should consider at least 12 hours a week.

It is a fairly expansive course in terms of the topics covered. However, it is not as discursive as I'd have liked. The tests are good but would have been better had they not provided too many hints. It is definitely an eight-week course if you diligently work on the exercises. Maybe there is room to recommend additional readings for those who'd like to learn more.

Un curso muy interesante, con mucho contenido que requiere un esfuerzo por parte de los alumnos y una base matemática/estadística sólida. Las prácticas están muy bien organizadas. Hay explicaciones que podrían mejorar. Sin embargo, cumple sobremanera mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo.

Having more explanation with the answer videos will lead to a better understanding from MOOC participants. Also, additional review and participation from class instructors on grading tests would ensure a more effective and accurate calculation of participant performance.

Good content and exercise, very pedagogic.
The only problem are the use of the program: If you don't know how to use a statistical program such as R, you will spend more time struggling with the program than understanding the topic.

This course provides inputs for advance level students. Theoretical aspects are well-covered. I gained a lot from this course. If some idea of any one econometric software is provided, it can further add value to the students.

This course introduces basic and important statistical methods both in conceptual and practical ways. I wish this course were more longer and covered the topics deeper because I really enjoyed learning the topics.

This is course is very smooth yet challenging. It provides good grounds for econometric analysis at an intermediate level. I totally recommend it. Thanks for the good job to all the professors and assistants.

Some topics that were covered in this course were not explained in details and, in addition, there was no explanation of the theoretical aspects of the course (for instance, formulas transcript ).

Very good course. But too much emphasis on statistical derivations. Also estimating models by using any statistical software (SPSS, STATA, R, Eviews) will for sure be an interesting ad on.

Very good insights and step by step methods.
It is more theoretical (manual calculations of different methods) than applied and should be completed by another course for this matter.

It is a very good course I guess, but being 15 years old, it didn't make any sense.
However, I got to learn a lot of new things about a field which I wish to pursue.

Good course, I would recommend people who have basic knowledge about statistics and linear algebra take this course if the topic of econometrics interest you.

the video seems fast-forwarded, which makes it quite difficult to follow. not sure if it's only my personal feel of it. otherwise the content were great.

Great beginners course. Should be backed by readings. Exercises are awesome especially the building blocks. Looking forward to a more advanced course.

More focus should be given on application part in initial modules vs. derivation. Also, the presentation can be made a bit more simple to understand.

This course is really good for recapping what you have learned before. It would be a difficult course if you start it without previous background.

Some stuff are treated briefly but overall is a good MOOC, well organized and gives good hints to deal with econometrics problems.

I'd be happy to have more practical excersises during the course instead/together with formula transformation tasks.

Very nice MOOC. Found it a little too theorical, but it was very usefull to put in practice my econometrics skills.

Very informative and technically coherent.
My only suggestion would be to provide software codes with solution.

The level of this course is high. It's better to take a basic course on Econometrics and then take up this.

There was a drastic increase in difficulty in week 6 and 7 from the rest of the course.
