discussion forum
Check the discussion forum for week 3, everybody seems stuck.I was really looking forward to this course, but unfortunately it has been a complete waste of time.
Also, active participation in the discussion forum is healthy and appreciated from mentors.
The discussion forum is similar to the summary I have written here.

reading out
The Prof just spends minutes reading out numbers up to the 2nd decimal from the slides without any explanations as to how to implement it.
Good attempt .. expect more examples and clarity .. reading out slides is not the best teaching method .. Good course for trading basics.

Course was normal to help you for getting basic elements of finance but I think that they could make it much better.Genrally,it was normal course.Participants,be careful with week 2 quiz)) The quiz questions were very difficult and different as taught in the videos.The topics should be taught with good examples not the bookish language.

additional resources
There should be additional resources which include questions about the material because the questions in between the lectures were very easy and irrelevant in my opinion.
These additional resources I mention, should have questions and answers with lengthy explanations so that one can get a better picture of what we are learning.
