Most Helpful Review
Spring 2021 - Professor Williams presents interesting and real-world relevant financial market topics in an engaging and effective manner--particularly so for an online environment. Personally, I was amazed by how much my understanding of options and puts improved after the first few lectures on these topics, which seemed like a daunting foreign language at the onset. I also enjoyed being able to apply previously acquired accounting and macroeconomic course material to this course. The course is efficiently structured, with two exams and a term paper that allows students to delve into a financial topic of particular interest--with all the room for creative exploration and research. Professor Williams provides optional practise problems in order to help students strengthen their understanding of lecture material, and teaches students quite-necessary Excel skills along the way. The exams are fair and reflective of course topics as stated on the syllabus. The textbook is quite helpful--the chapter readings complement lectures. Overall, this engaging course is exceptionally taught and wonderfully structured by a highly knowledgeable and practised instructor who genuinely prioritises student learning and interest.
