Principles of Valuation
Time Value of Money
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
Introduction to Finance: Valuation and Investing ,
We will introduce the time value of money (TVM) framework in a carefully structured way, using relatively simple applications at first and quickly moving to more advance ones. We will then spend some time on developing an understanding of alternative decision criteria (NPV, IRR, Profitability, etc.) that are commonly used in the real world. We will wrap up the course with an exposure to the determination of cash flows using accounting principles. The main focus in this building block will be on individual/personal decisions because of two reasons: (a) we learn when we see value to us as individuals and (b) the beauty of finance is that the building blocks of finance are applicable to any decision, personal or corporate. The course will last six weeks with time included for assimilation and two final exams. You can do this course standalone or as part of the online Specialization on Valuation & Investing or to qualify for the residential component of the Finance for Strategic Decision-Making Executive Education program.

so much
I never thought I was going to like this experience so much.
I doubt that's useful as the staff claim (I simply skipped one week and continued normally).• The professor insists repeatedly on a grandiose, philosophical, cheesy view of finance (how it'll make your life so much better, how it's applicable to so many aspects, how money isn't everything) but, in my opinion, betrays that spirit from day one by sticking to the most obvious applications and examples.
2- To make things worse, he has a condescending perspective on students and wastes so much time glorifying himself in an upsetting manner that patronizes learners.3- His demeanour is unprofessional and quite disturbing when he gives mentions at the end of the week that 'I can feel you.

Prof. Kaul is a great master in his subject.
Thanks to Prof. Kaul, the teaching staff and Coursera.
Prof. Kaul's manner is, although it sounds odd to say about a computer-learning platform, extremely personable and understanding - I look forward to taking more courses led by him.
Learning finance with Prof. Kaul was so much fun.
Thank you Prof. Kaul and Coursera for this awesome class, and for rekindling my passion for Finance.
