As a 12th grader, I'm amazed by the new perspectives I've gained - it's really enlightening. This class, which I think has been incredibly useful, shines because of Dr. Robert J. Shiller's enthusiasm and dedication to teaching. I've learned important ideas about financial markets, but also benefited from the teacher's use of real-world examples to explain things. His method has greatly improved my grasp and interest in the topic.

This is the best financial markets course that you will ever come across. The way the professor explains each and every single topic backed with innumerous examples is simply enthralling. The amount of experience that he brings to the class is unmatched. It's a huge privilege attending his class. Even if you don't have any idea about finance, this course will leave you amazed.

Highly Recommended to every single learner out there.

Completing the Financial Markets course on Coursera has been an insightful and enriching experience for me. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of how financial markets operate, their role in the economy, and the key principles that govern them. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of financial markets, whether for professional growth, academic purposes, or personal interest.

The course, held by Professor R. J. Shiller, provides a general outstanding on financial markets, focusing on financial mechanisms whose functioning must be clear to anybody in our days. Therefore, it emphasizes the importance of finance as a means to improve society, and especially low-income classes. All things considered, I am fully satisfiied with my choice to undertake such course. Don't hesitate, just join the community!

Un curso interesante y muy educativo, te ayuda a entender de una manera simple las estructuras y complejidades de los mercados financieros, todo esto de la mano de un gran economista, como lo es, el profesor shiller. / An interesting and highly educational course helps you to understand in a simple way the structures and complexities of financial markets, all this from the hand of a great economist, such as Professor Shiller.

This course equips the learner with a solid foundational knowledge of finance in an accessible and time-efficient manner. I personally enjoyed every single week of the course and particularly enjoyed listening to Robert Shiller's lectures during my commute, evening walk, or Saturday mornings. The added requirement for an essay allows for exercising critical thinking on top of learning various concepts throughout the course.

The course content was excellent, as one might expect from professor Shiller. However, sometimes the questions in the quizzes could be improved to fit a more general class of people. For example, asking where the first benefit corporation was first established is not relevant to me because I do not reside and do not plan any time in the future, to reside in the US, although hearing about it in the lecture was interesting.

In this course, I really liked the way it was structured and delivered - in a clear and understandable way. Also, it was very nice to listen to the Professor. The assignments were very well structured and very simple to understand. Every topic which was incorporated in this course was thoroughly discussed. I am pretty sure that I can recommend this course to all my friends who are interested in the financial industry.

Excelente curso, su diseño y plataforma interactiva fueron maravillosas. El profesor Shiller, gran formador, se denota su pasión por la formación del capital humano y un vasto dominio de los recursos financieros y de la economía en su conjunto. Muchas gracias, por la oportunidad de participar y expandir mis conocimientos, los cuales aplicaré en el desarrollo de mi área en el manejo y gestión de los bosques tropicales.

Prof . Shiller has structured the course in a beautiful way taking us from classroom to general discussion with students. I learned a lot and had fun along the way. I truly recommend this course to all who are interested not only in finance but to those also who want to find out how the economy works with the help of finance. My sincere appreciation to Prof Shiller and his whole team for making this wonderful course.

It was an exceptional course. It was amazing privilege to be in Robert J Shiller course, whom won Noble Prize in Economic Science. I learnt a lot about financial market history, concept behind financial tools, derivatives and inflation and so many informative topics which gave me good sight about Financial Market.

Special Thanks to Yale University for providing this course for free for all students around the world.

A very good course for people who are new to financial markets and like to know more about it. A great course which shows you the landscape of the modern markets and how they came to the point we are now. At the end I had a good general overview of the working of different markets and what the general principals are. Robert Shiller is a very good teacher and really makes you enthusiastic about the financial world.

Very good introductory course to financial markets. Provides a great understanding of the financial framework that is central in a capitalist society. I appreciated the clear explanations of professor Schiller, as well as the historical context regarding the various financial tools that are available nowadays (insurance, stocks, options ,etc.). This is a great course to get a good understanding of modern finance.

Outstanding material - it has improved my understanding of financial market movements as I work in a credit-rating agency I better understand the industry. Also allowed me to see I am interested in staying in finance for the next few years professionally and continue learning more about it and bridge the business and cybersecurity gap and couple it with risk-management experience. Thank you for a great course!

This course I just took for pleasure and in order to have a better understanding of the financial markets. My only regret is that I did not take this earlier, I gained some familiarity with the mainstream aspects that make our society work: insurance, mortgage, banks, securities, etc. The professor was excellent I thought. One of the best classes I've taken in terms of enjoyment and value. Thank you again!

the course was eyeopening for me and very much helped me to understand National economies and clearly the purpose and work of Finance in any economy a little better. I know I have a long way to go but at least I have a foot in the door now. I am interested in finance but I think i face an interesting learning curve. I will survive and make it through. Thanks for opening the door and demystifying it for me.

Wonderful content, awesome lectures by Noble Laureate Prof. Shiller with continuity, consistency, always with a smiling face and easy interactions with the young generation budding students, humanistic angle of finance being given stress. I got enthralled by the course videos and thanked myself for getting aware of a new dimension of Financial Discipline. I owe million thanks to Coursera and Prof. Shiller

Great lectures from a professor that makes information relevant. The very thorough explanations and lecture accompanying salon's made this course even better. Also, the quizzes were not very difficult, they felt like they were just reinforcing what you learned, not challenging you to think more in depth. I did not mind that, it felt much more helpful than the quizzes and tests I take in school right now.

This course is an essential foundation for anyone interested in financial services.  It is taught in a very thoughtful, humorous, and human-centric way.  Professor Shiller opens his course with the words “this is not a course on how to make yourself rich to lead a self-indulgent life” and he closes with “maintain humanity in an unforgiving business world”. Being taught by a Nobel laureate is priceless.

This course is a great course for anyone who is new to finance and wants to get a basic understanding of it. Professor Shiller deals with a lot of topics in such a short course and thus leaves us wanting for more. A possible way to guide your way through this course could be attending the lectures and then surfing the internet about the topics discussed. It will definitely enhance the learning process.

It's a great course, includes broad aspects of finance that you will find interesting and useful. From the professional perspective, I could enhance my knowledge in finance, but most of all, understand why and how the different financial instruments really work, what are their upsides and downsides, how to use them smartly and make them useful, not only for self purposes, but for the good of society.

An excellent introductory course. I especially love how Dr. Shiller relates every concept to real-life scenarios. This makes it more encouraging as the concepts then become easier to grasp and the class is based on a more practical approach rather than theoretical one. I would recommend this for anyone who has the slightest interest in Finance/ Economics. This course would enable you to explore more.

This course provided knowledge of the development and history of the Financial Market and explored the possibility of financial inventions for the future. It also introduced important ideas, models, and modern finance theories, which helped students gain the necessary skills for portfolio management of investment. It is not about getting rich. It is about risk management and making good use of money.

This course is very good for us to know a lot about finance, behavioral finance, and managing risk. There is a lot of knowledge that can be used and implemented in our daily lives. Lessons that are easy to understand even though they do not come from a finance background because the explanation is simple, comprehensive and based on reality in life. Very Excellent Course about finance that I ever had.

This course should be taken by anyone who is interested in gathering the basic knowledge of finance and the way it works in our society. I feel really lucky to have had completed this course and it goes without saying that the course content and Professor Shiller's way of teaching stood way beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved this course and will surely miss being in Professor Shiler's class.
