The material was presented well and really interesting, but the quizzes were incredibly frustrating because in several, the correct answers were not among the multiple choice options. It was only upon looking at the discussion board did I find that the correct answers were not among the options and it wasn't just me. The professor also references problem sets that we can do for extra work and yet they're not among the supplemental materials. Good professor, good class, but c'mon Coursera...get it together!

The course is excellent. I only finished it with more interest and questions, which I think is a good sign. Since the problem sets are not multiple choice, they are excellent learning tools and demand a firm grasp of the material and prior practice with the formulas. My one constructive criticism would be that there are no explanations for the problems. When I had a wrong answer in the problem sets, there was no good way to troubleshoot and correct my response. The message board Q&A did not help enough.

Good explanations to key concepts in corporate finance. However, explanations for problems were nonexistent (the forums provided some help, but "official" answers would be better. Additionally, as it is a numbers situation, more problems to practice on (e.g. non-quiz problems) would be an improvement. Finally, it was difficult to know where in my "trunk" of knowledge this new "limb." Overall helpful, but probably more worthwhile if paired with other related classes (I'm now enrolled in financial accounting).

It looks like a new course which needs a lot of work. It would be difficult to follow if you don't have any business education and a basic understanding of accounting. The instructor covers tons of materials in a very short amount of time so be prepared to write things done.

The quizzes are buggy with errors and I hope the admin will fix the issue soon. Plus, the quiz the entirely mathematical with no regard to the concept we learned in the videos. I passed the quiz 3 without watching the materials at all.

Please find a way to post the quiz answers. As a professor of engineering myself, I understand cheating is practiced among students, but to try to prevent it at the cost of the mostly other, honest students' learning experience is unfair.

There needs to be more explanation of how to input values correctly into the blanks on the quizzes. I believe I had most all of the answers correct, however those I did not receive credit for were likely mostly due to error in numerical format.

I found this course to have a lot of relevant and useful information which gave me a basic understanding of corporate finance. The downside is that much of the maths needed to complete the quizzes is assumed knowledge and is not explained during lectures, so for some people it will be necessary to first learn how to perform algebra. At times, the quizzes also required information to complete them that was beyond the scope of the lectures they referred to.

This is a pretty good introduction or refresher for very basic concepts in Corp Finance. The lectures and slides were very clear and organized, but it was frustrating to not have answers or explanations for the problem sets (aside from forum discussions), and I don't think there were enough practice problems overall. It takes a lot of practice to really nail down the concepts, and 4-5 short questions per week is not enough.

Great course. I did not give it a 5 star because it was not as easy to follow as some of the other business courses I've taken on Coursera. This is probably because Corporate Finance is hard to explain in simple words inherently. However, if you do take the course, stick with it till the end. The first couple weeks will change the way you look at money. I found week 4 to be quite entertaining and informative.

The course was great in terms of the information provided and the techniques taught. Professor Roberts was amazing in conveying the concepts. The issue I had was in the quizzes some questions were wrong. They either had wrong formula given or values did not match or the wrong options for one or two questions and had to just guess on which answer was expected.

Its a great experience carrying out this course with such great tutors. very nice explanations given in class and in a very understandable manner. but there is a suggestion that i want to give that is more questions should be solved in the class so that it becomes more easy for the students to understand the course and go through the problem sets.

Thank You.

I have enjoyed the content and learning platform very much so far in this academic venture. The teaching has been top notch and the video feature allows you to go faster through the content which I am a big fan of. My one gripe would be that I believe there are some errors in the quiz answers. A review of these might be needed, however I could be wrong.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course though sometimes keeping up to pace with the professor proved a little difficult, especially for someone whose last finance course was back in 1999. This course has helped me understand stocks, commodities and investment banking. Thank you very much. I've just enrolled into my third course with Wharton.

Overall, good content. Feels too introductory for someone with a good financial knowledge, but also too concise/dense for someone with little-to-none financial background. Quizzes have a couple of incorrect answers, which the Warthon team promised to address an year ago, but are still there. Other than that, it is a great knowledge.

great lecturer great course, the lecturer's enthusiasm is infectious. I am a structural engineering intern and i look forward to understanding and learning more about corp fin. Improvements: EXCEL based questions would be extremely useful to improve computer skills in work place. More questions as well. 4 per week isnt enough :)

Good instructor, but he moves fast!!! I wish there were some reading assignments (even just a couple of pages) so that the content sinks in better. Wouldn't recommend this course to anyone who doesn't have basic math concepts down. Great for those professionals in the corporate world who just want to understand the "lingo."

It gives a good introduction. However, application of these concepts is what we need to do to learn the concepts. I feel there needs to be Excel-based problems, more detailed to firm up the concepts. You can make these questions optional. But actually building the models in Excel is will will make the students learn

Very infomrativ. Did a great job of presenting real world cases and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of NPV and IRR. I feel like I understood the DCF and FCF concepts pretty quickly and wish we could have delved deeper into the full project analysis and sensitivity analysis presented in the spreadsheet.

While the course was satisfactory as a whole, it felt like it lacked breadth compared to the other courses in the specialization. Was very light and could be completed easily. But the topics explored were done very well great job by Prof Roberts in making it so student friendly and understandable for everyone!

Very well taught by the professor. He was enthusiastic and told us many real-life examples. Although, I would like it if the course were a little more lucid to those entering the finance world with an empty slate. However, overall a wonderful course and would definitely recommend it. Thanks professor Roberts!

It is super helpful to know the general idea of the corporate finance by taking the course. While the course provides extending books to read for the subject, nothing is really in depth within the lectures. And I think it would be helpful for lots of people if the course provided explanation of quiz answers.

Lecturers give clear explanation in every topic. They also give examples on how to use the formulas. There are additional quizzes for practice as well. The graded quizzes assess the participant not only in theory, but also in application. Mentor replies the questions clearly in the discussion forum.

The course was really good: illustrative and clearly delivered explanations, comprehensible visualizations. Though, it looks like the old course being edited with some of the topics removed. I.e. some other topics might have been useful as well of introduction. Still, the present material is great.

This course was good for a basic understanding of terms and everyday calculations, but mastery is hard to achieve since the tests only have 4 questions, and I never really mastered the algebra that is needed to go along with this course. Failure of my high school teachers, not this course's fault.

I like the course since the basic concept is concise and clear.The review for every lesson highlights the essence of the class and the professor simplified the class by giving enough examples.I will enjoy the class better if the exams are more challenge and more related to the professor's lecture.

Good course in combination with the accounting course also offered by Wharton. There was some overlap between topics but I actually enjoyed that aspect since it tied some elements together. Some of the videos need some light editing but the over content was straight-forward and to-the-point.
