Learner Reviews & Feedback for Python and Statistics for Financial Analysis by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

I thought this offered a very valuable introduction in to the use of Pandas within Python, with work through notebooks and examples in the videos.

The course gave food insigts on Statistics mainly with little less weightage on Python. Overall a decent start for financial analysis with Python

Overall the course is good but the python codes used are not explained properly. So for python beginners like me, it was difficult to understand.

The content of the program is very useful although some question in the quiz are needed to be updated. I have learnt a lot! Thank you very much!

Relatively easy course that has taught me a number of useful panda tricks. Notebooks are used just for demonstration and not very challenging.

it is a good course, statistically detailed explanation, discussion forums are also very helpful when I have difficulty undergoing the course

Great for an intro / refresher in statistics and forecasting fundamentals. Would recommend having some Python knowledge before registering.

Professor can do hands simultaneously with lecture then it will be more beneficial and easy to understand instead of explaining from slides

A decent beginners guide to financial analytics.

Don't expect much as this is more like a foundation course for more in depth complex once.

It is a good start for me to pick up more Python techniques for Financial Analysis. Than you Prof.Wan and Coursera, also my school ESSEC.

It is course to learn the linear regression along with stock market basic information and strategy. Well organised and simple takeaways.

Very good content and excellent notebooks! Didactics (concepts, their relation with each other and applications) could somehow improve.

Very interesting, but some concepts went too fast. It is also very difficult to learn how to code, other than copy-pasting the lines.

Great course. Learned Python and Statistical Analysis. This course could add more content as I have enjoyed the learning process.

Background required, the course often provides no additional/explaining information about technical details, need to use google)

Overall nice course. Sometimes the instructor skips some logical steps. It would also be nicer to see the coding happening live.

You need fairly good knowledge of Python and statistics to complete this course. The course is interesting and well structured.

It would have been great if getting certificate of this course is based on passing "PROGRAMMING ASSESSMENT" for each module.

This course is very good, but the level of difficulty of the questionnaires is very easy, which does not match the class

Very good, for educational porposes.

A nice combination of programming, in python, statistics and regression analysis.

This course is practical and very useful. It is recommendable to have previous knowledge about python and statistics.

The Course gives a basic idea of how statistical distributions can be employed through python for financial markets.

Great course, the python could be explained a bit better though, have to keep googling various forms of syntax used!

Very fundamental course for statistics. However, machine learning now is a more common method to do stock analysis.

This course was too enjoyable and I have gained much more knowledge of python and statistics for financial analysis
