Great course! Very didatic explanations about financial and statistical concepts also with some interesting practical Python for Finance! Looking forward for new courses from same Univ. and prof.!
A very good introduction course to python programming and it has a perfect combination with statistics, which makes financial analysis more interesting and refresh my mind on it, thanks.

•Overall pretty good, somethings are pretty much just glossed over and you have to figure out yourself or just plain skip.
By Sam N
•Do not recommend. Try other courses that specify on the individual topics rather than skimming over all 3 !
By Wynona R N
•Good course! It will be better to put more challenging questions as a practice in the jupyter notebook.
By Arihant J
•The basics were not explained properly.
A lot of code was unexplained.
Forum doubts were not answered .
By Luke L
•Lots of info to learn. Does not challenge you to actually write the code, which is a big drawback.
By Prateek J
•More time should be devoted on python syntax used and more models and examples should be included
By Hugo L M
•It did deliver the content it was supposed to, but it could be done in a more slow-paced manner.
By Arnaud S
•Interesting but it is too fast on more difficult topics (specially the last week).
By Shine A

By Mehul V
•Many things were left unexplained. A step by step procedure wasn't followed.
By KAUSHIK N
•More explanation were required on the codes, being a beginner level course.
By Jacob R
•Pretty solid course, kind of difficult to grasp at times to a newcomer.
By RAHUL N
•No coding based assignments. Not too useful.

•The topics are interesting and some basic statistics/finance knowledge are required for the learner. The cons of this course is there are no coding practices or homework. The Jupyter Notebook included after each lesson basically asks you to copy and paste the syntax provided. The student's knowledge base is evaluated only through simple quizzes, which I found absolutely insufficient. Only when the hands get dirty can a student actually master the coding skills. I won't recommend this course.
需要一些基本的统计学和金融知识，但没有作业自己不用输代码，coding skill得不到训练，不推荐。

•I really cannot recommend this course. Course tries to touch two major topics: Financial Risk Management and Statistics. In both disciplines course is only scratching surface of the subject without going into any details. Just for quantitive estimation, FRM is 100+ hours of material, Statistics - another 200+ hours. Whole course contains definitely less than 4 hours of lectures.
On the other hand - course is some sort of source of topics you need to find yourself over Internet and learn yourself.
By Daniel
•Part of the code doesn't work. To fix it it is needed to go to Python documentation and do research
A lot of statistics concept are not quite well explained. The course should include more detailed explanations or at lease some links where the this information can be studied
The results of the trading system implemented in the curse are not the one that you will obtain
