I've enjoyed this course. Prof. Standen gives a very basic but clear overview of the most common financial topics, wished I had this course a couple of years ago it would have made my life way easier.

Probably the single best course I have seen on finance and, by extension, accounting for those of us going in more or less clueless. It's actually an entertaining course and easy to keep watching.

A very good course for people who does not have knowledge of finances. I highly recommend this course. It would be better if the course had more practice exercises.

Very easy to understand and interpret the information. I would take it again. Finance is not my best subject. The professor was engaging but could be more so.

A lot of formulas in a few time. But the professor uses lots of examples which allow to better (and faster) understand the concepts behind all those formulas.

This course is good for people who want to increase their knowledge base in finance but a lot of other basic concepts can also be added in the course.

It's a good course for someone making entry into the business finance domain. It covers a lot of topics horizontally, delivery is crisp and precise.

It was a nice overview. I wish some topics were discussed more in-depth and with practical examples. Yet, in general it was a nice quick refresher.

Great overview (or reminder for those of us who graduated a while ago). More exercises and practice could be good to offer as part of this course.

Great, straightforward course. It would be nice to have "practice" problems to help engage the information beyond the quizzes and video lectures.

Well done overall. I would have liked a little more detail with some of the formulas mentioned, but overall I felt like I learned quite a bit.

Test for module 2 had questions that weren't part of the course (about programming). I think it was a kind of error in coursera configuration.

A bit short and general, but in a way that is exactly what I was looking for, as I needed some key concepts to start understanding the topic.

As a non-Finance person, it's a great overview on the basic terms in Finance. However, I feel like the knowledge won't stick long-term.

The course will taught you very basics of finance and in a very quick succession, with concept and clarity about each and every topic.

It's a general overview and introduction to some financial concepts, it might be good to know some general terms here in a short time.

El curso es muy bueno, me gustaría que hubiese uno mas complejo, mas avanzado, y que incluya el uso de herramientas informáticas.

Good course, fast and easy to get
Could be enhanced by a few practical examples where the formulas presented could make more sense

Superficial, mas bom para um contato inicial. Como a proposta do curso é para profissionais de outras áreas, cumpre o prometido.
