About the Course

Course Overview: https://youtu.be/JgFV5qzAYno Python is now becoming the number 1 programming language for data science. Due to python’s simplicity and high readability, it is gaining its importance in the financial industry. The course combines both python coding and statistical concepts and applies into analyzing financial data, such as stock data. By the end of the course, you can achieve the following using python: - Import, pre-process, save and visualize financial data into pandas Dataframe - Manipulate the existing financial data by generating new variables using multiple columns - Recall and apply the important statistical concepts (random variable, frequency, distribution, population and sample, confidence interval, linear regression, etc. ) into financial contexts - Build a trading model using multiple linear regression model - Evaluate the performance of the trading model using different investment indicators Jupyter Notebook environment is configured in the course platform for practicing python coding without installing any client applications....

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.

This is a course more for statistics than python. All we understand is how to use the Python libraries and their functions to compute statistical data.

90% Statistics

10% Python.

Acho que falta exercicios para praticar e colocar em pratica tudo que foi visto.

O curso é muito rápido e muito denso em conteúdo porém acho que esse ponto deve ser melhorado

It's kind of hard to understand to understand the lecturer/professor, but the course material is interesting. I was hoping for a little more programming in Python though!

The video tutorial could have been better, however the notebooks and quiz were perfectly prepared and were instrumental in verifying our understanding of concepts.

Some topics are treated too fast, there is no time to understand the implications of what the teacher said. The links to the notebook in the test don't work.

this course is really good course to understand python programming

but

1.you need basic and intermediate knowledge of statistics

2. basic knowledge of finance

I think the most valuable part of the course is in week 4 but It was rushed by fast

explanations and I was hoping a better pace in these important topics.

The course was a bit fast-paced and explanations could be more lucid and elaborate. Please increase the number of modules and provide more practice sets.

Some materials (Notebooks) are not updated in the quizzes

The videos could explain better some concepts that are key to understanding financial analysis

Good course. However, it can be little bit difficult to understand the statistical concepts for the students who do not have statistics background.

It's not bad, but it's not great either. I guess it works as a good starting point for further research, but the content is pretty general.

Overall a great experience but was not having a finance background so using these stock market terms for the first time was a challenge.

The course is somehow overlapped with the course ISOM2500.Moreover,i do not think that I have really learned a lot regarding Python.

A per-requsite of statistics is required. One should review the basics of statistics before taking the course. Pace is too fast.

It's a bit difficult for students who have no either coding or statistic background to understand the content of the course.

El curso presenta conceptos complicados y no están lo suficientemente bien explicados por lo que se hace difícil de seguir.

Overall pretty good, somethings are pretty much just glossed over and you have to figure out yourself or just plain skip.

La primera semana fue excelente, las otras no tanto. Los ejercicios son muy buenos y ayudan al proceso de aprendizaje.

Basic introduction to Python pandas module and statistics. I had expected a little bit more advanced financial models.

most of the links in the quizzes does not work, and the teacher is very hard to understand for non native English.

Do not recommend. Try other courses that specify on the individual topics rather than skimming over all 3 !

Good course! It will be better to put more challenging questions as a practice in the jupyter notebook.

The basics were not explained properly.

A lot of code was unexplained.

Forum doubts were not answered .

Lots of info to learn. Does not challenge you to actually write the code, which is a big drawback.

More time should be devoted on python syntax used and more models and examples should be included
