Reviewed Mar 1, 2025Many thanks to the professors and the staff for creating such a resourceful package. Kudos to Dr. Haugh, for his exceptional efforts in teaching the core concepts behind the pricing of derivatives.
Outdated Syllabus: The syllabus for this course appears to be significantly outdated. The material covered does not align with current industry standards or practical applications. As a result, the content is not beneficial for students looking to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios. Course Content and Practical Relevance: The course material lacks practical relevance and fails to address contemporary challenges and techniques used in the field of financial engineering and risk management. This discrepancy between the course content and practical requirements has made it difficult to gain useful insights that can be applied in a professional setting. Exam Structure and Evaluation: The exams for this course are problematic. They are designed in a manner where answers are strictly graded based on specific calculations. This rigid approach does not accommodate alternative valid methods of solving problems and can result in penalties for students who might use different yet correct approaches. This method of evaluation does not reflect real-world problem-solving scenarios and is not conducive to a fair assessment of students’ understanding. Given these issues, I am unable to derive any meaningful value from the course
