Engaging and challenging course. Taking the course gave me a lot of realizations as to my biases on investing and personal finance that I should strive hard to consciously avoid.

T​his was a great course and I love digging deeper into the behaviors that drive finance. I did feel though, that there was somewhat of a disconnect from the material to the quizes.

I feel the course needs more scaffolding and further explanation of the abstract concepts to gain further understanding before the quizzes.

I think this course is great as an introduction to behavioral finance, however I think the content lacks depth and is rather superficial.

Would definitely need detailed answers to questions, esp after the quizzes. Week one was great, but struggled with Weeks 2 and esp. 3.

Good information but not well presented. Very unclear and the questions seem to ask about areas that aren't sufficiently covered.

Covered a broad spectrum of topic, but didn't go in-depth, which makes assignments very difficult and extra work necessary

The course is well designed, especially the case study examples. However, exercise questions are not that clear.

Good concepts but the lectures were a bit 'all over the place'. No as structured as I would have expected.

You should divide week two in 2 or 3 weeks. The concepts are interesting but nor very well explained.

Great slides. If their video lectures are as amazing as their slides, I will give them five stars.
