A very easy-to-understand yet in-depth course that will provide with strong understanding of the workings of financial markets. Especially interesting the incorporation of behavioural finance in the course and ways to apply the knowledge in "real life".

Overall, it is excellent. One of the main theme of Financial education is to understand and use it to make "civilization work better" (quoting Prof. Schiller). Some mathematical treatment, and little more of stock, options, and valuation will be great.

Fantastic Course... just a disappointment that the Certificate of Completion is not FREE as advertised? I understand the 'original' document would incur a cost, but surely a student would be granted a 'digital/electronic' version of the certificate???

It's a very complete course that allows you to look at financial markets from a different perspective, I think it can be of great interest for anyone trying to get involved into the financial environment. The lecturer, Professor Bob Swiller is the best!

Prof Shiller is unique in the sense that he gives a short background of the concept that helps novices like me to understand the complicated topics. His teaching style is very effective and one lever tires of listening him. Thank you Professor.

The way the teaching went was wonderful, especially the discussions about a thought was a very thoughtful way to drive the thoughts which went on like a day to day life conversations. The course was very productive to me and was filled with knowledge.

This should be a course that just about every mature adult should take to learn about the basics of financial markets. The story telling format/way of teaching of Professor Robert Shiller makes the course an enjoyable and memorable learning experience.

Really good course with good involvement for a user online. Developed a deep understanding of financial markets and had to do quite a bit of research for the essay. Found it very interesting and more captibating than other courses I have done online.

Prof. Shiller makes the Financial Markets course very easy, connecting the dots in real application. He is a true Genius. I am very honor that he is my Virtual professor, a lecture from a Nobel Prize awardee. I just hoped that he can make more MOOC.

El curso de Mecados fiancieros fue muy interesante y la metodología utilizada por el profesor fue excelente, porque no se concreto solo a la teoria, sino que ejemplifico cada tema que me permitió comprender mejor a cerca de los mercado financieros.

The course was very well explained by the professors, even the complicated concepts in finance. A student with no knowledge of finance can also learn a lot from this course. The quizzes at the end of every lesson are efficient. Thank you Yale Univ.

The course is very beneficial for anyone interested in the world of finance. Prof. Shiller is just amazing and teaches with enthusiasm and passion which motivates students to learn and discover aspects of finance far beyond the scope of the course.
