ok

Many of the slides, and virtually all of the transcripts (which I assume are auto-generated), contain spelling and grammar errors. Both professors tend to show slides that contain a lot of text and then continue to talk while the slide is being displayed. I often had to pause the video to absorb the info on the slide, and sometimes put the video back a few seconds after reading it. For these slides, it would be more helpful to simply read the slide aloud before providing commentary. I would have liked more modules by Sarin and fewer by Geczy (both professors are very knowledgeable, but Sarin's demeanor is more comforting and relatable).

This course is more relevant to policy makers and academics than from daily user's point of view. Lecturers should have gone more into the practical aspects instead of listing down tons of facts and data that most of us wouldn't really remember.

The payment section should cover the latest payment technologies like e-wallets, QR codes etc. instead of just rushing through the list of technologies. There's also a too extensive focus on the US markets, while actually there's a lot of potential and interesting use cases in developing markets that learners should know about.

The course provides fundamental knowledge about the FinTech. But from my point of view, the big picture of FinTech was not described enough. This course knowledge was developed mainly through the western financial industry while lots of new FinTech business models are being generated and expanding world-wide from Asia (China, India,...) Don't forget that Chinese invented the paper money and now they are re-innovating the future of not only payment but also financial industry. Theses factors could play a very important role in how we shape the regulations.

Following points need to be included in the course

1. The Course Material is at least 5 -6 years old . Should be updated based on latest Tech and status.

2. The Course Material talks only of US whether as Other Countires have moved ahead of US in Fintech.

3. Global examples are not covered in this course.

4. Looks like this couse is only for US citizens who dont know the outside world

The material, though relevant, is dated. Also, a more balanced view of regulation would be more appropriate. In general, the fundamental assumption is that FIntech needs to be regulated. The challenge is that in a relatively borderless financial world, created by crypto currency, there is little regulatory influence possible.

The course is informational. Natasha Sarin is a great presenter, but for some reason she mentions Elizabeth Warren no less than five time during her presentations. There are some typos on the slides, that make me feel like not much attention has been put into the details of the course design.

The Course offers good insights, though It also throws a lot of data to you.

I would urge the curators of the course to focus more on learning the basics and little on cramming up data. For example, most of the quizzes test your ability to remember data points rather than the concept itself.

I suggest providing the course materials ( sildes) before the video since the speakers are moving fast from a point to another. Having the sildes after finisihing the unit makes me want to go back and study the unit again with the materials in my hand for better understanding.

Thank you,

This course is just OK. Very high level information on FIN-TECH, mostly on what it is and regulations around it.

It does not give you the in depth knowledge on neither the technology aspects nor the business aspects that I was expecting out of a UPenn course.

the course is overall knowledge on fintech for beginner. It should be more case study analysis and more visualization in the slide. I felt that the lecturer reads the slide without emotion. I think that wharton school should be better.

My biggest concern is that i have taken this course in 2025 and the data that is being taught and referred is of 2018. this is quite outdated considering the rapid growth in this sector. However Module 3 and Module 4 were good.

This course was really interesting and helpful in many ways. Now I have better knowledge about what Fin Tech is and what happens in Fin Tech. The course was really good overall. I really enjoyed it.

A good course to work on the basics of financial regulation, understanding the concept of fintech, regtech and people hisft in behaviour with the increased number of fintech companies.

Interesting. Overly simple: spends too much time on obvious points. Speaks a lot about the financial industry and less about FinTech. I was expecting more Quant.

The content was rather straight forward (even a tad too easy I'd say). Tests ask data-focused questions, not helpful. Presentation is good and well-delivered

the payments modules and regulations modules were very helpful

however the module 2 was very survey heavy and not sure will be very practically relevant

Good intro content but course is very outdated, stats and references are almost 5 years old.

It would need to refresher and updates to be more relevant.

The course just about skims the surface of the FinTech industry. What is disappointing is that the 'Technology' aspect of FinTech is not covered here.

Due credit to the lecturers, but would really appreciate latest and relavant data which is crucial to get a better understanding of the subject.

The course is extremely short and basic, which is not an issue if you know that before starting. A bit outdated (data until 2018, examples..)

Decent overview, but could go farther into specific priority areas in fintech (virtual assets, adoption in emerging markets, remittances)

The module is extensively US-centric whereas FinTech is global and the success of a FinTech company is through economies of scale.

Overall Good course with great content. I think the focus shoudl have been focussed more on foundations and less on regulation

It's frustrating to have such outdated information in a course about information that must, by its nature, be up to date.
