I have not attended an abysmal course on Coursera such as this one. So many things are wrong with the way the course is organized. Each session of the module does not seem to be connected to the previous one. The videos are unprofessionally put together. There were only 2 videos where they interviewed some business owners that put the knowledge to real life application. Other videos talk about complex concepts in a very complicated way. It was hard to follow. After completing it, the knowledge I gained was merely a video form of a glossary. This course is the first of the three-course "Financial Analysis - Skills for Success" Specialization. Upon completing, I reviewed the content of the 2nd course and found a lot of repeated content. This course seems like a waste of time and money.

Terrible presentations. It's so obvious that the instructors were reading off a script and the script is as dry as a textbook.
