covers good amount of material and exactly what is in the outline, presented with enough detail to follow. Good walk-through of the spreadsheets helps understanding, easy to follow along and practice.
Material was very well presented. Week 3 was challenging, but taking time to print out the slides, work through them rigorously proved very helpful. I found all sections very, very informative.

•I thought that this course was tremendously helpful, as it really drove home how to execute simulations which is something that I had considered but not really utilized before.
By Jacob V
•I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I not only learned a lot in terms of ability to use Excel and am now better equipped to approach data in certain (and uncertain) situations
By Gustavo A
•Great examples, the best course of the specialization so far.
Week 3 was a little bit slow. I think it was going through some theory that was already covered by course 1.

•Very good course content. Was looking to apply to non-financial (engineering) modeling. There are similarities and may be able to use the same methodologies to simulate
By Ardian F
•This course has rich theoretical and practical material if you want to study about risk and reward analysis.
Recommended for aspiring young finance or business analyst!
