couurse seems to be very good but the course stated in recommended experience, i.e., compare stock returns with google sheets is unavailable, therefore forcing me to leave the course halfway.

Another brilliant, practical and very informative course in Mr. Ochilov's series of lectures with the CPN. If you are interested in statistics and finance, you should take this quick course.

Not a bad course, the contents is very usefull (thanks to the teacher !).

But, there are some approximations :

- the use of returns instead of log-returns, which leads to optimistic average returns,

- the use of approximate thresholds from double-sided normal distribution, instead of one-sided normal distribution.

- there is a mistake in the quiz : the answer to question 2 is wrong

In the grade test, 2nd question which was "Given 3.2% monthly return of a stock, 0.2% monthly risk free rate, and beta of 1.5, calculate the Treynor ratio", i answered 0.02 which was in the given options but still it marked it incorrect.

I do appreciate the efforts of the prof and Coursera team. However, I do hope that this can be a longer course where it gets more depth and have more course modules provided.

The instructor doesn't try to explain the whole parts of the formulas. Speaks not very clear and there's no transcript of his speech to read and understand what he just said.

As a non-native English speaker, the accent of this speaker is very confusing (from my point of view as someone who is new to this topic). The subtitle in the video isn't really helping as well. The way the speaker explain the thing is not very clear, so I have to googling to understand what the speaker trying to say. Overall, not good for beginner. Insightful though.

It's not a good project. If you don't know anything about Treynor Ratio you are probably not going to learn all there is about it and you won't see the utility of the ratio. If you already know it, then it's just an exercise with a really short conclusion. I give 2 stars because it is still a fun exercise, but you could find something similar or better in youtube.

It would be of more help if the conceptual reasons of using a formula are explained, rather than just mentioning that we need to subtract abc from xyz. If the reasons are explained for the same, it will help in better understanding, conceptual clarity and better analysis.

The video material is okay, but the provided excel sheet was of size 0 KB, making it impossible to work with the same data, and there's even an error in the final quiz..
