Curso perfeito em todos os aspectos, me introduziu ao mercado financeiro e me fez querer escolher essa área para atuar. Robert Shiller merece o posto de maiores economistas que temos, pessoa incrível.

i expected something more specific and detailed about some topic taking some explanation for granted . Plus , not only there are a lack of video or graphs considering but the most part of the course covers the Financial History of America ,but overall , remains a good way to improve own abilities

I think it gives a broad classic view of financial markets. However, I would like to have a course with more assignments, less multiple choices tests and more interactive parts.

Also, the focus must be brought on innovation and on more on the future. I felt a bit that topics were outdated.

The course really needs to be updated, I didn't realise it was recorded around 2016 and so does not give an accurate view of the many things that have happened since, not least the global pandemic, recent wars and rising inflation and interest rates.

The course was fine but as someone that doesn't live in the USA, I have a few issues.

The main problem I see with this course is the little practicality that it gives unless you have a way to get a job in the USA in the financial sector already.

Great class if you are interested on regulation and psychoanalysis of the market. Professor goes into depth to explain the lecture and in awesome pace. I was looking for more how to analyze stocks in this class tho. Thats why I am rating 3 stars.

Interesantísimo curso y muy bien planteado, quizás a veces muy extendido en cosas poco utilizadas en Finanzas y muy breve en cuestiones fundamentales. Schiller es muy bueno, me hubieran gustado más recomendaciones de lecturas de su parte.

the topics of this course are brilliant, I enjoyed learning on those. However, multiple areas such as defining some key terms, the essay, the discussion forum, and having more examples need to happen to achieve a better rating.

Love Shiller and his perspective, but many of the lectures are not geared to online learning since the math pieces are not explained in much detail. Also the Salon segments are sometime not entirely relevant to the chapter.

Very Long, and fundamentally focuses on the USA share market. But as the course is all about financial market it may be focus on other countries as well. Thank You. Otherwise the courses materials and learning are useful.

Muy aburrido, difícil de mantener el interés. Incluso difícil mantenerte despierto.

No es por qué me parezcan aburridos los cursos de finanzas pues otros me han parecido interesantes.

It was very informative but not exactly what I was looking for in terms of understanding smart investing. Nonetheless, I learnt a great deal. Thank you for your help!

it was a good introduction to the field og financial markets. Good if u don't know nothing. If you are expecting details, insight you should find anywhere else.

Shiller is great but the quiz questions could not have been written by a native English speaker. You’ll do well if you can decipher manglish.

It is too segmented, sometimes concepts are not clearly stated because of this. The overall result is good, but is a very basic course

I would have loved it more if it was more engaging. Group activities and much would have been much better for interactive learning.

It's an alright course. I found it all over the place. The videos are cut very abruptly, and there's no structure to anything.
