An excellent course by Professor Robert Shiller (Yale) which gives a broad understanding of the financial world. Highly recommended for those who are new to finance as it is not overly complex. The course is very well structured and the lectures are brilliant.

Love the course

Love the content

Love the professor

He really sees beyond the "classic" finance and it's great that he's trying to teach people about it.

Subjects are often explained well enough so that financially illiterate people (like me) can understand them.

Great course led by a very intelligent and entertaining lecturer. It's excellent for beginners because it's passable, but it has its challenges along the way. It does introduce some mathematical formulas, but you don't need to master those to pass the course.

Amazing course, I learn a lot of a very controversial and complicated topic. I'm thankful to have taken this course, happy with the concepts and knowledge I've got. My first course and looking forward to do more related to this. Robert Shiller was excellent.

Enjoyed the course, at times found it difficult to get my head around a few things and had to do some extra reading or learning, but I had no real background in Finance. Enjoyed it very much and enjoyed the Coursera experience as a whole. Would recommend it!

It was a very good course. It teaches the basics of finance really well. I have almost no complaints about the course and its contents. However, i feel that some tricky topics like futures and options could have been given more time and dwell deeper into it.

This course is very good on the way that you can see how finance is in everything we see on a daily basis. Also on how to look finance a little bit more on the social aspect and human behavior, with a lot of content on the history of finance. I recommend it.

is a fantastic course to get a first approach to finance. My financial background before this course was almost nil, and now I can say that I have some basics. In addition, it has awakened my interest in learning more about this area. Absolutely recommended

Robert Shiller is one of the few last individuals with great knowledge of corporate finance. Where he portrays different stories of the economy, government, corporations, and personal beliefs about specific segments of a globally connected financial system.

El curso me ayudo a enteder los conceptos básicos que subyacen en los mercados financieros. Y sobre todo a incorporar y profundizar aspectos del comportamiento de los mercados cuando la información es asimétrica y los participantes de racionalidad limitada.

Very interesting syllabous. Up tp date. Either good new knowledge for someone who does not know, or a nice refresh for the ones who know this knowledge more or less. It worths the effort. Dr Shiller is fantatic. His real life students are lucky to have him!
