Learner Reviews & Feedback for Understanding Financial Markets by University of Geneva

First time for me to study MOOC. I learned a lot but there are still concepts I have a hard time grasping.

Good and simple foundation building in Financial Markets, on some very interesting topics. Michael it is a pleasure to listen to you and all the analogise that you . A

Nice Course

I enjoyed the course very much wish here was more interaction with staff though

Easy understanding the basic concept of Financial Market.

I had been a bit leery of taking this course because I feared a language barrier, but all of the instructors so far have spoken English very clearly. The information is well presented, although I sometimes find the graphs with the inverted scale on the right hand side confusing at first. I would recommend this class to others who are interested in getting the basics of how financial markets work.

Solid introduction to concepts in portfolio management

Some modules seemed a bit vague during explanation.

This is good course for beginners in financial market.....

The videos of UBS Lecturers aren't that beneficial. Professor Ines wasn't that beneficial and she didn't deliver her concepts in a simple way. I liked Mr. Michel and his way of delivering his ideas. I liked the graphs and the correlations from the inverted time scale on the right.I liked the big mac PPP and the visual aids he used.Finally the last part of module 4 had too many information that can be delivered better by giving a quiz about it and to give time for each topic separately.

I enjoyed this course so much and I would recommend it for my friends

Very insightful and easy to follow. Nice introduction to financial markets for the non-financially qualified.

"Understanding financial markets" is a perfect description of what this course is about. If you have a basic knowledge about financial markets already, it may be somewhat easy. Still a perfect way to get started.

Very good an brief summary of the markets and easily explained

Really nice course, perfect to start an understanding on how financial markets work.

This was a great introduction into financial markets and monetary policy. It was exactly as advertised, and am happy with my selection

Great introduction to complex issues. Professor is great!

Very good course in terms of materials and delivery. Good combination of academic content and commercial input. Assessments were generally good although I might quibble occasionally with some of the official answers.

I like the lectures delivered by "Michel Girardin", very thoughful & practical in nature. While some other lectures delivered by other faculty members seems to be more of reading the presentation points.

a great course, great professors. but there is a lack of technical explanation like NPV etc'

thank you it was very interesting

It was said to be the basic foundation knowledge for the financial markets. But I guess person without prior knowledge of Finance will face lots of difficulty to understand the course. Even the first module of this specialization was harder for a business student like me too.

I learned different and interesting topics, but for me was difficult.

Well structured course. The graphs used to highlight the key relationships of various variables is insightful.

the course could have been enhanced to be more rigorous.

I have been looking to get into finance for a long time now but couldnt find something as flexible as this course. The concepts taught here are very simplified and are easy to understand. Overall it has been very fruitful and i am looking forward to complete the specialization.

It lacks exercises but other than that this course is pretty fun and interesting. I would definitely recommend it.
