I just finished the course and I encountered quite a lot of issues. This course feels like it was put together badly by taking videos from a bunch of other finance courses without paying much attention to whether the information in it should be covered or not. For example, some videos had topics that were started in a previous video, but that video was not in this course.
Another issue is the quizzes for a lot of the lessons. I did my best to report the issues, but I'm not sure I got them all. I'm new to the material covered in this course so when I encountered questions that were about topics I had never heard of, I'm almost positive they were not discussed in any of the videos. There was even a quiz that seemed completely out of place. None of the questions were about the previous video at all. Also, the final assessment of the course was just an exact copy of the previous lessons quiz.
Very disappointed in this course. It should not be on Coursera. People pay a lot of money to take these courses and this is practically stealing.
This course gave me a basic foundation overview of the financial analysis ! I loved the different teaching styles of the instructors. Great course!
The Course is quite fascinating and rich in fundamentals of Financial
Analysis. It has added value to my knowledge to my knowledge of Accounting and instilled me the relevant
skills I need in my Career
I will not hesitate to recommend any one searching for a Course of this nature
Thanks

Found the information very helpful and had a great start and base on basic information dealing with fiancial issues.
The quizes often included questions not yet covered in the videos if you watch everything in order. Many of the questions are written in a completely confusing way. Worst of all, none of the transcripts for the videos have been proofed to account for the primary lecturer's very strong accent while speaking English. If English is not your first language, I would avoid this course and find an alternative. This one is genuinely hard to follow. I'm giving the course two stars because I did learn a couple of things I didn't know before.
Quick and dirty intro to financial analysis! Unravel complex terms like IRR, NPV, PV, and FV in a snap. It's the Swiss Army knife of finance refreshers. All jokes aside, this course takes the snooze out of number-crunching. If you're ready to decode money jargon and want Wall Street wisdom in a Main Street package, take the course. Your pockets won't regret it.
THIS IS A REALLY GREAT COURSE TO INTRODUCING YOUSELF TO THE ROLE OF A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS. I BELEIVE THIS COURSE CEMENTED MY THOUGHTS OF ONE DAY BECOMING A FINANCIAL ANALYST. IM LOOKNG FORWARD TO OTHER COURSES FROM UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS SURROUNDING FINANCIAL ANALYSIS.
The course material is presentend in a way that can be understand for any one with finance back groud or not I would like to thank the course instractors for the time they have spent on preparing such an amazing course.
