Great course!
Extremely interesting but could be more detailed showing more specific data and examples with downloadable spreadsheets.
I've learnt a lot with this course. Sometimes we don't stop to think about how to think on making decision.

A bit too easy in comparison to the previous module. The Efficient Market Hypothesis is perfectly explained as well as many other things. I think more practical manipulations with data would have been useful.
