About the Course

Finance is for “Non-financial Managers” who want to understand key financial principles and apply them in a real-world context. Over the course of the program window, you will work your way through a series of nine modules that move from understanding basic financial principles to applying financial analysis and ratios to drive decisions. In addition, each module is capped with an ending self-evaluation to ensure that you have absorbed the following key learning objectives: + Understand the language associated with finance + Know how and when to use financial terms and analysis techniques + Read and assess company performance using financial statements + Recognize the link between organizational strategy and financial objectives + Use "the numbers" to your best advantage to make more informed decisions...

Interesting subject, and especially the ratios are handy. However, the quality of supporting material of the course is very poor. First of all, it is an old course (2010 figures). Secondly, quality of the video (even at the highest display quality) is low: you can not read the figures the professor is showing on the screen. Next, the professor is regularly referring (espacially in week 6, 7 and 8) to exercises he is doing on his Excel, but the screen is not shared and we only see him self, not the screen share. On a last note, also the content - especially weeks 7 and 8 - is not explained very well in my opinion (but probably because the poor visual assistance of screen sharing). I have followed other Coursera courses where this was not an issue at all, so believe it is really only limited to this course.

The professor is a very engaging speaker, however the course is not optimized for online learning. Materials are often referenced to but you either are never given access to them, or are given to you after the fact. Likewise as the course goes on he will do equations without sharing them on the screen, making it hard to follow along and fully understand how to use information found in financial statements to equation at hand. I hope they update this course at some point because as I mentioned he is a very engaging lecturer, I think the course is hampered by it being created in the earlier days of self-directed online learning.
