It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

Very useful introductury course into both python and statistic analysis wich allows you to create a simple trading strategy. It serves as a great first step but there is a long way to go still.

It was a very good course that gave me quick and dirty tips on how to use python to generate statistical analysis of finance data. Need to update some of the course materials though.

The course is not for beginners imo, you have to have some knowledge about statistics to be able to understand the concepts and functions used in this course. Overall, it was ok

Some spelling mistakes in the course materials, but otherwise a good overview of the topic. Would have liked to see the notebooks be more interactive, like for weeks 1 and 2.

Very comprehensive. Would be great if after building up on the statistics knowledge, it's followed with more practical examples. But very wholesome course throughout!

Great slides and great example. Some quiz problems seem to contain errors. Quiz problems link to the notebook are difficult to navigate. Only reason to give a 4-star

Week 4 could have been taught in more constructive manner like the previous 3 weeks' content. Otherwise, it's a great combination of Finance, Statistics, and Python.

This course covers practical python and statistic applications in finance, but requires some understanding of python and statistic concepts. Good course over all.

Is a good course for begginers in python, but you should really have a background in investment finance and stadistics if you want to take advantage of it.

The course is excellent because of its content, however, there were not enough practical tasks to develop an understanding of the topic deeper. Thank You!

There are many example to show you how to do financial analysis. But if you don't have any statistical background, it's hard to understand some concept.

There should be 2 programming assignments as well. That will make the course more challenging and difficult to pass by just skimming through videos

Muy buen curso sin embargo tienes que tener un poco de conociemiento de python ya que con el transcurso del curso el enfoque es más en estadística.

Some statistical concepts required more explanation than provided. Often I had to learn about the concepts myself. Otherwise, it's a great course.

Overall the course is good but the python codes used are not explained properly. So for python beginners like me, it was difficult to understand.

The content of the program is very useful although some question in the quiz are needed to be updated. I have learnt a lot! Thank you very much!
