Great introductory level course to know about the basics of financial planning. Course material and subject matter is relevant for everyone (not just young adults) who needs (or wants) to educate themselves about the subject. Coursework is very easy to grasp and not demanding in any way.

Some links related to optional reading/discussion materials are broken and need to be updated.

One of the best course for people who are just beginning for the people who are new to finance. Very comprehensive and well explained with great examples. The reason for 4 stars is because it sometimes feels overstreched and sometimes a topic is not given full explaination. If you find any concept difficult just use google. All the best.

During the pre-recorded lectures, the camera goes away from the PowerPoint slides and onto the person who is talking. It is difficult to take notes if the video does not spend much time on the PowerPoint slides with the important information. To start and stop the video to take notes is annoying.

I found this course a great overview of the concepts of financial planning: budgeting, borrowing, lending, and investing. The content was thorough and clearly laid out. I would recommend this course to someone who is interested in having an introduction to this topic or as a refresher.

I don't even know the formulas for time value of money quiz. The quiz needs to refer to which formula. It's hard for me to understand because I don't know which formula to use. I find it a lot easier if I see which formula does the question refer to such as sppv, usca, CR, and so on.

I'm very happy. Because I'm not native speaker, even so I got it complete all tasks. And I recommend to you that need pratice your 2 lenguage while you learn another subject. Also, Now I'm considering to work with Financial Planning. Coursera, Thank you very much!

Good introduction to the life skills need to begin saving early.Wish I had taken a course like this soon in life and began saving sooner as well. But the tips that I have learned throughout this class can still help me save for retirement.

Pretty good about explaining financial concepts. This is not a course you should take if you're looking for advice, rather it gives a high-level overview of the important financial concepts you'll be dealing with in your life.

For someone who is just entering his/her twenties, I found this course very helpful in managing finances. It's like this is an introductory course to financial independence and a lifelong relationship with money.

Great class overall. I would like to see more updated information, as many of the links no longer work and the material is from about 2012. I would also love to see more diversity in the vignettes.

Very good value for money if you're beginning in financial planning but if you want to make the best out of it, it's best to be a US citizen; If not, some info won't be relevant to you.

Financial planning as a career seems too forceful at the end of the course.

Other then that, it is a very good course with good contents and interesting videos for easy understanding.

This course is so rich is nature and in content. It improves various financial aspects of individuals especially young adults and also ensures we secure a good financial future.

Enjoyed this course as a not so young adult. Good explanation of the different concepts of financial planning. Could do with an update to do with crypto currency.

Weeks dedicated to saving and investing were very interesting and useful. The insurance topic (week 4) was too long and not much relevant for my country.

I really enjoyed learning new concepts which will help me in the future! This course taught me more than I expected! Gladly will recommend it to others!

Very clear, concise and easy to understand. I have a much stronger grasp on my personal finances and what to do when facing future financial situations.

This course is a good preview of what Financial Planning is and covering all the basic knowledge about most aspects of becoming a Financial Planner.

Good initiative!! Keep it up and one should enroll from the very beginning of their professional life to manage and secure funds and for future...

This course helps me a lot to understand how to manage our income. It also giving me insight how urgent the financial planning since we're young.

The course is elaborate and comprehensive, though a little too elementary. Mostly suitable for people with no prior financial knowledge.

Was real good , Material covered and and relevant vignette presentation . With experienced personnel to delivered the course contents.

If you value your money, and have an interest to make a small difference in your spending habits. Then this course is for you.

It only covers basic knowledge, but if you are totally new to the material, you would probably find the course very helpful

The lectures are sometimes engaging and sometimes boring, But overall, this is a well done course! I learned a lot in this.
