Professor Shiller is not only a brilliant economist but an enigmatic storyteller as well. The pace of the course is good and the examples drawn from the real world makes it easy to connect the dots.

The Professor was very knowledgeable and carried the class along with him. He made the course very easy for me even though the course was long. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you to him.

even the professor is well known , but the teaching skill is not professional ... first too many stutter which make the conversation hard to follow , always em em em em after every speech , the total of em is not normal , second the background is indeed professional but the professor keep walking back and forth with hand on both holding , eyes looking down , this kind of teaching is like talking to himself , not intended to any viewer ..... course is too abrupt , not continuity at all , suddenly talk about history then suddenly talk about other , then suddenly start calculation ...... wont recommend this course

I only made it through week 1 but this is not a starter class. At one point to prefessor said it was an ECON 220 class if I understood correctly, which is up in the air because hes never very clear. Not a single term mention was every actually defined. He honestly kind of just threw words and equation out there and was like "i bet you or your upper class men have heard of this before" and then didnt explain. Its also just clips of an in person class. Like maybe 10 minute segments. Its very choppy, don't reccommend.

The course is composed of fragmented videos recorded in the class. There are not only many transitions but many pauses during videos. Make the learning experience really bad.

Horrible course, absolutely superficial. Lector is just mumbling, jumping into random portion of information about the topic. -10 out of 10, don't waste your money.

This is not what I'm looking for. I think studying online is already challenging, so using slides that fit the whole screen will help deliver this much better.

Outdated course filmed probably in 2016. Professor has the knowledge but lacks the ability to effectively communicate it so it becomes dull and boring.

They promised a free certificate and now they are asking me to pay after completing the course. Hours and hours of effort gone to waste!

The lecturer is way to far from communication. This is my worse course enrolling on on this platform; I'll just find another course

Super boring. The course says that you don't have any financial background but everything he teaches assumes you do.

The information taught is very dated, I would say just by watching I could tell the course was made from 2013-2016.

I don't know what to say. Pieces of information put together and call it, randomly, a course. Non-sense.
