Excellent course. A real privilege to have this kind of instructors. Exceptional opportunity to receive information directly from one of the main protagonists of the event.

This is a very interesting course with a very informative professor and instructor. I just received “The Stress Test” in the mail, but have not started reading it.

The material is meticulously explained in a calm , experienced manner. Readings add depth and further support graphs and lecture. What an interesting time to be learning about the crisis of 08-09
Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
