Amazing course, I learn a lot of a very controversial and complicated topic. I'm thankful to have taken this course, happy with the concepts and knowledge I've got. My first course and looking forward to do more related to this. Robert Shiller was excellent.

Enjoyed the course, at times found it difficult to get my head around a few things and had to do some extra reading or learning, but I had no real background in Finance. Enjoyed it very much and enjoyed the Coursera experience as a whole. Would recommend it!

It was a very good course. It teaches the basics of finance really well. I have almost no complaints about the course and its contents. However, i feel that some tricky topics like futures and options could have been given more time and dwell deeper into it.

This course is very good on the way that you can see how finance is in everything we see on a daily basis. Also on how to look finance a little bit more on the social aspect and human behavior, with a lot of content on the history of finance. I recommend it.

is a fantastic course to get a first approach to finance. My financial background before this course was almost nil, and now I can say that I have some basics. In addition, it has awakened my interest in learning more about this area. Absolutely recommended

Robert Shiller is one of the few last individuals with great knowledge of corporate finance. Where he portrays different stories of the economy, government, corporations, and personal beliefs about specific segments of a globally connected financial system.

El curso me ayudo a enteder los conceptos básicos que subyacen en los mercados financieros. Y sobre todo a incorporar y profundizar aspectos del comportamiento de los mercados cuando la información es asimétrica y los participantes de racionalidad limitada.

Very interesting syllabous. Up tp date. Either good new knowledge for someone who does not know, or a nice refresh for the ones who know this knowledge more or less. It worths the effort. Dr Shiller is fantatic. His real life students are lucky to have him!

I wanted to learn about basic finance, how markets work and some advanced finance, but this course was much more. The presentation of the course is admirable, and the syllabus covered by this course is well-structured. Overall, it was an excellent journey.

Es un curso excelente, la amplitud de los temas que se maneja, además del enfoque social que se le da a las finanzas al final del curso hacen que realmente valga la pena. Si es recomendable tener un cierto conocimiento de finanzas antes de llevar el curso.

I loved every step of this course. The teacher is brilliant, having a broad understanding of finance, the market but also people's behaviour. I only wish the course was a little bit more challenging, or that there was a second course building on this one.
