About the Course

The purpose of this course is to provide you with a basic understanding of the connections between money, the financial system, and the broader macroeconomy. We will examine the economics of modern financial institutions (e.g. banks), including how they are organized, the products and financial services they offer, the risks they take, why and how they are regulated, and how this has changed over time. We will develop a conceptual framework that will allow us to assess how recent financial regulations as well as innovations in finance (e.g., securitization, fintech, cryptocurrencies) may influence the macroeconomic, financial, and business environment....

the peer-graded assignment has a very high passing grade. 8/10 grade seems normal, but the scoring metrics determined that the good answer is scored 7/10 (only exceptional answer is 10). the problem is peer graders are subjective, and idk why but my submission is rated (on avg) 7/10 or less despite actually matching the scoring criteria, and the graders provide no commentary feedback. so, it's just annoying to resubmit the answer all the time without knowing what's wrong (if there's even anything wrong at all).
