    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.

    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.

    This short course is interesting for people who would like to know more about how to calculate VaR and Treynor ratio and practise using a spreadsheet.

    However, a number of things left me perplexed:

    1) Unfortunately, the course presenter was not easy to understand at times and the presentation of the concepts/theory was not as slick as I would have hoped/imagined (which was a pity);

    2) Some of the advice on how to use a spreadsheet for formulae and integrating a reference line in a chart, I would not regard it as best practice;

    3) The use of the split screen prompting you to use Google Sheet and asking to submit your password to log into a personal Google account was not something I was happy with. The way the course is set up is that someone can do things alongside the instructor only when working on the split screen application. Any attempt to work on an offline version (on Excel) or opening another window automatically stops the video.

    Overall, I think that the course could benefit from a bit of a refresh as it has loads of potential to be interesting and helpful.

    Not able understand the course in the starting phase. There should a dedicated video lighting on the basics so that a new person with interest will get help to learn with this particular course. i m in love to explore this course but not able due to lack of basics and the plunge to tell the basics i not taken by the teams. It will be a humble request to add a 5 to 10 mins basics video clip so that it will help a person to get attached to the topic I hope my thoughts will help you guys to improve with the module

    With the instructors accent, I had difficulty understanding everything he said. I think a power point presentation with more visual reinforcement of the content would be an improvement.

    I couldn't complete the guided project because the video doesn't show us how to get the attachment. It only shows how to upload from my computer to Google Sheet.

    The Excel files are basically empty. It says no data in the file. How am I supposed to progress through the course without that? Not great

    Should we just follow without practicing? The file you are working on, how do you get it?
