Very good course overall. Dr Girardin and Ines Chaib are very pedagogical in their approach (i.e. taking time to put themselves in the shoes of the listener and aiming at a limited but reasonable amount of information to teach). Other professors are less pedagogic in my view and run into complex notions without taking enough time to give explanation (e.g., going into put, call, strike, options in less than 2 minutes is rather difficult for the listener to follow).

Regarding the form of the course please note the following : i) adding sources, units and legend to all graphs would be welcome ; ii) avoid double negation during quizz (eg Q4 quiz 3.1) ; iii) review mistakes in the transcript (e.g, Basel = Bazaar or current = Q-hunt)

The exams could do with some improvement. Manay questions require multiple answers. some times one, others two and others three and even 4! with only 1 point assigned to each question and only fractional points granted for correct answers. You have to then infer from the fractions how many answers they are looking for. I think that kind of information should be indicated in the question itself. Also given the calculations performed, students would greatly benefit from an EXCEL sheet provided by the course with a template of formulas that would help the students to calculate things profficiently. It would also help students after the course. Nevertheless the content was good.

Another enjoyable course in the Investment Management Specialization. This one was the most technical by far. Weeks 3-4 must were challenging to follow, I had to watch them more than once. For people who don't have a background in statistics / economics I think this course will be too technical. The lecture about Basel regulation was rushed, I didn't really get the point of that lesson. All in all still a good course, I especially liked the lectures about derivatives and hedging risk using options.

Beautiful Course. It clarifies concepts and introduce new ones on options. I guess practice makes perfect, because some ideas and concepts fade too fast. Some professors are easier to follow than others. Translated text could improve. Some modules could use an uplift with users comments. This is my first course of the specialization, and I believe I will try to make the whole thing (that wasn´t my idea at first).

Thanks

I enjoyed the teaching a lot, i wish we could have more questions to learn the maths of problems as one example is not enough. Maybe 10 with the all the working out done with numbers so one can truly learn fully. Thank you to this wonderful team of teachers. I would really like to see if this can be updated to reflect the effect of covid-19

Although short in time because Risk applied to Finance can be very extensive. The course was well presented and explained. One have indeed to self complete these knowledge in practical working activities. In times of economic ups and downs it serves to take caution when using financial tools.

The course was good and further founded my knowledge of investing as an individual investor. It had helpful practical insights on which macroeconomic parameters to look out for in particualr and how computing the major finance parameters when it comes to the number crunshing.

The explanations are good. The last module was very difficult and I couldn't grasp its concepts. More examples and detailed explainations were needed in the last module; I wish Michel taught the last module cause he explains in a very simple manner along with good examples

I really liked that there were multiple instructors. Their French accent was a bit hard to understand sometimes: 'asseta-location' vs 'asset allocation'.

Good historic overview of how risk management evolved over time, and good ideas and solutions to manage risk.

In some videos, the professor would explain the formula without applying an example. It would have been clearer if there were actual numbers, especially when it came to the VaR and Expected Shortfall. Other than that, it was great. Thank you, much appreciated.

When a request is made to the student for an analytical calculation the presenter should provide the detailed worked out solution, only with some of the material presented in this section did that occur. To me that was a difference maker for that presenter.

Another good course in this Specialization. Some of the computations for concepts such as VaR and Expected Shortfall could have been better explained with examples. Otherwise, I really learned a lot about risk and how to hedge against it.
