Week 2 quiz has precision errors on answers and week 4 videos have audio issues, overall week 1 and week 4 are the best of the course to a beginner

On the three it got i little bit complicated because it was a lack of information about a spetific topic (The CAPM) But the rest was really great. Thanks
