Good course! There is just one thing I would improve here - an explanation of the mistakes after the tests are done. This improvement should increase the student`s understanding of specific topics.

This course was a very good sum up of Daniel Kahneman's thinking fast and slow. Definitely recommend to everyone who would like to know more about our flaws or would like to refresh your knowledge.

the actual class material while short and somewhat scattered was good. my issue is the last two quizzes have very little to do with the material presented and become guess and pray with no guidance on what is right or why. While i enjoyed learning about behavior economics the quizzes made this such a frustrating experience I would not recommend it to anyone

To be honest here, the course may be the worst organized MOOC I have taken so far on Cousera. While the content is interesting, there were far less video conttent and in-depth explanation than I expected. I'd say if anyone interested in Behavioral Economic field, just go read Thinking Fast and Slow to get a taste.

Disappointed in this course, the videos are good but they cover a very minimal part of even the introduction to behavioral finance, the quizzes are much tougher than you'd expect, lots of reading material (which is actually really high quality). Overall, could be better.

The videos are not so relevant for the Test. The text part is better to accomplish the goal. It would be better to include the text passages into the videos. It is more based on probabilities. But the finance relevance could be better shaped.

I do not appreciate the excessive reading. More than 50% of the course consists of reading instead of watching video lectures. If I were to read materials on the topic, I would rather find a book on Amazon, not a course on Coursera.

Very limited content on the video lectures, and the course is primarily dependent on the slides. The links to the 6 bubbles (end of Week 3) didn't open. Overall, I can not recommend this course, unless improvements are made.

The course has too much pdf and very little video material. I choose this course because it has spanish subtitles but I had to read a lot documents in English. I hope change this because this topic is excelent

Even though the course was interesting, the quizzes and the course material were not in sync and it was very hard to understand the logic behind answers

Content is interesting but there is lack of explanations for the quiz answers and does not help with learning.

quiz missing explanation, the content were divided unevenly. Length of Week 2 is like week1+week3 times 2.

The topic is in itself interesting but I didn't like the structure of the lessons / courses

I rated it a two just because, it is not the best for interactive learners.

mainly because quizzes had no explanation what so ever.

It would need more videos to explain the written part.

For beginners this is a bit tough course

Quizzes makes me feel like a failure.
Got up to the first quiz
The course does not provide nearly enough info and I had to look up alot of the keywords in google like risk aversion, since you only get a basic example and nothing else. When it comes to quizzes its really hard as it is ambiguous, the wording and how it relates to content is difficult to understand. I felt that i studied the two lecture slides for a long time plus i did my own reading, yet i keep scoring between 30 - 50 % over 4 attempts. Another thing about the slides is eventhough they are 27 and 47 slides they say very litle on them.
Overall collosally disappointing

I did personally did not like this course. There was good information in the course but it needs to be presented in more easy to understand manner for beginners. Also it was difficult to do the excercises after doing the course. I have done 2 more courses on topics related to finance on coursera and they had great content and quizzes were also completely relevant to what was being taught in videos.
Duke University should come up with updated version of this course. I would love to go through the updated course again.

I was expecting more from this course. The topic is fascinating, but the way it is taught, designed and delivered is very dull and uninspiring. The course does not take advantage of any of the available technical tools to make it more engaging and interactive- just tedious videos and poorly crafted slides. I regret taking this course. I would recommend finding a book or a YouTube channel that covers the same subject in a more appealing way.

Thank you for the article The trainers are specialized and scientifically capable, but the level of information delivery is less than the standard, The reading material is very long and complex Most of the questions are incomprehensible I suggest simplifying it further and making reading materials optional thank you

Not enough discussion on the different biases, introduce situational examples but really failed to explain the relevant biases at play. Also thought the materials/readings were not lacking in substance.

The format for Quiz 1 is FUBAR. Messages to the site bring NO response or correction to the problem. Avoid courses from Duke! They evidently aren't computer savey or concerned.

I would've read a book instead of this course, it's all filled with presentations and readings. A course should be videos not readings.
