A very beautifully structured course. It will appear to be cumbersome but if one follows-up closely with the professor's lectures and the TAs then he or she shall surely sail through the quizzes at the end of each lesson.

PLEASE BE ATTENTIVE WHILE WATCHING THE LECTURES.

Professor Schiller is the reason to take this course. He understands and explains Finance not just in the traditional sense, but also in an applied way that matters to society and the good that can come from Finance. It's not just about money, it's about us as a people.

Fantastic! I learned a lot about financial theories, modern investment tools, public finance policies and a full scope of the financial markets. I also like the salons and chalk talks among professor, TA and Yale students, which illuminated a lot of concepts. Thank you.

Es un gran curso, que requiere esfuerzo para entender la terminología financiera, pero con un poco de esfuerzo los resultados son excelentes.

It's a great course, requiring effort to understand financial terminology, but with a little effort the results are excellent.
