Concepts of Asset Allocation and theoretical background of modern portfolio theory are dwelt upon for a large chunk of the course, however risk is barely covered and brushed over with not enough clarity and detail that was expected. Overall, a nicely packaged refresher course for the theoretical foundations of portfolio management for the initiated (but who have lost touch), but barely enough focus on the practical aspects or examples in portfolio and risk management.

The content is as usual great!

1A Material to learn and develop your skills in the field of finance!

HOWEVER It was not easy to follow the English with the French accent. Also the Script has not been reviewed by Coursera. They took for granted that the script only takes the spoken language and did not approach any corrections when mistakes were made. A lot of key information gets lost, when you FORGET to correct this type if information.

For non-finance or statistical students, it would benefit them to have more detailed explanations of the equations used in this module, as well as more example to fully grasp the concepts and become comfortable with using the equations. I would've appreciated that in my case.

The faculty while explaining the topics are very quick apart from 1 or 2. The course is very basic and not recommended for people with moderate level of knowledge in markets. Overall a good course

The course touches briefly on all the relevant concepts but it remains at a very introductory level.

I would recommend it only for student without any previous exposure to the subjects.

The overall content is good, the teachers possessed specialized knowledge which became very beneficial for me as a student who was looking to learn about this topic.

Unfortunately, some lecturers have a very bad English pronunciation. It is not appropriate to show formulas without explanation of symbols (what is “a”, “m” etc.).

A lot of valuable information but the course is lacking exercises that can help you fully understand the concepts and start practicing on real life situations.

The math in this course was unexpected, with very little explanations for us that arent experienced in it. Also, Ines is a bit difficult to follow

the calculation of risk is too complicate to understand with a few minutes. I expect to have text below video so that I can go back and review it.

I say thank you and have a suggestion. I think this course need more materials precisely.

some topics hadn't enough sources and were very short.

It was a very useful course; however, I would prefer if the explanation during Week 4 were a bit more detailed using more examples.

Some of instructors are good and some are annoy that make some class be a bit boring and annoying. overall is ok.

Basic concepts reasonably explained. Few practical exercices. A very basic introduction.

week 3 and 4 could be more on high level, was a little too technical

The lectures had to be longer with more real-life examples.

Till week 4 very good. The week 4 very fast and unclear.

Last week was rushed, the quality dropped.

good course

It's good introductory information that gave me terms to follow-up on. They skip a lot of the math, and it would be much better served if they worked out handwritten examples. Also, there are occasionally typos in the quizzes and exams.

the 4th week of the course is badly tought and super hard to understand.

THE 4TH WEEK WAS REALLY BAD

There are students from all over the world taking this course. Put better professors who know english and better pronunciation of english words along with better accent. Change your teacher and Specially that bald guy teaching Managing Risks in week 4.
