Comment :
Ridiculous course. As Artem said, the assignments do not follow the outline very well. There\'s plenty of information and you do learn quite a bit, however the final exam does not reflect what you did in the course. The textbook was helpful over the course, but didn\'t contain a single question that was on the final. If you like running regressions then the course is fine, but the exam isn\'t exactly written in excel. Definitely not an average booster. Good Luck

Took the course online. It was an interesting course. Teaches a lot about investment. Many of the assignments do not directly follow the textbook and assigned chapters, need to go beyond what is assigned. The final exam did not reflect everything studied, and had questions which were focused on unassigned work. It is still a good course to take, not to increase average, but for general understanding of investing strategies. Is NOT an easy mark booster.
