For me, it is an excellent course. Understanding some concepts of biases and behavior when making portfolio decisions is a good addition to knowledge when making investment decisions.\n\nTks Dr. O
An excellent course combining psychology and behavioral biases with finance. An eye-opener for students and managers relying exclusively on quantitative techniques to solve finance problems.

•One of the best courses on the subject. Period.
Dr. O, does a great job in uncovering the biases that affect investors and funds.
A must if you are serious about investing and managing a portfolio.

•Way too many typos and errors to be published as a Coursera course
By Matteo E
•The course material is excellent to give first the financial background necessary to understand portfolio selection, then introduce the psychological factors that get in the way of making "cold and objective" decisions.
The subject is kept very interesting throughout.
Possibly my favourite course out of the four in the specialization.

•Good course, a bit lacking in the quiz department, and it is always harder to pass the course when more peer-reviews are involved, as it takes quite a while to get your revisions in. Nevertheless, great and interesting content.
By Veliko D
•A bit too easy in comparison to the previous module. The Efficient Market Hypothesis is perfectly explained as well as many other things. I think more practical manipulations with data would have been useful.
By Debbie G
•Extremely interesting but could be more detailed showing more specific data and examples with downloadable spreadsheets.
By AP
•This module was interesting and I liked the questions that gave a possibility to check our knowledge.
By Roger D
•I've tried a few courses that are similar and this one is better than average.
By Travis P
•The course is good but the lack of response from ANY teachers/assistants is frustrating. It is also very frustrating waiting WEEKS for anyone to respond on your peer-reviewed work. By the time I get feedback, I am already completing the next course in the specialization and the feedback is barely valuable anymore as I have had to figure it out myself. (Still waiting on feedback on for assignments in course 3 of 5 and I am beginning work on the capstone project.)
