    The instructor was very hard to understand, and the content was not explained thoroughly. The ideas presented were interesting though!

    Project explanation was quite good but was expecting more content and bit more explanation about free risk return and its calculation.

    I think the Subject is great and I was really looking forward to taking this but it seems as though there are a lot of technical issues. I couldn't follow along because I couldn't find the files to download, the videos would work, when the videos did work they would pause in the middle and I couldn't gather the necessary information to complete the course or learn what I wanted form it.

    While calculating the downside standard deviation, the instructor puts 0 for positive values and this will give a wrong value while using the stdv formula and that will result in whole calculation of sortino ratio going wrong

    Useless. The download file that is needed to import into Google Sheets cannot be found. The accent is funny though. I did laugh at "Google Shiits." Avoid.
