The tutor has clearly explained various concept of trading, investment and risk with examples. I have learned about finance ratio, cost, financial statement and trading.

The course was taught in a really nice way with all the math presented clearly. The professor made sure that the topics were easy and at the same time relevant.

This course is not at all recommended because the explanation of some of the very important topics is not at all up to the mark ! the quizzes are tough from the content that is explained in the videos.

I didn't find this course helpful. The instructor is just reading statements from the teleprompter. I didn't expect this from such a great professor and from ISB. Please update this course.

Es un curso de contabilidad nada que ver con Trading, malisimo el curso y el docente sólo lee diapositivas, sin opciones de verificar los errores en las pruebas.

The prof needs to explain properly, merely speaking from the slides doesnot help in online lecture. White board could have been used to explain calculations.
