    Every other week professor just shows you a video of the website Yahoo Finance.

    Every week you get 30 minutes to study the same list of formulae, not customized for the lesson.

    Assignments are not based on practices or lectures.

    Gautnam's jokes are lame. What is intuitive gotta do with the theories. Also, why is he saying "taking a knife and stab me in the gut" so often???

    One of the finest courses on bond and stock valuation. Besides lots of examples, the course places a premium on understanding formulas intuitively, graphically and mathematically. Recommended for students and managers alike.
