This was really a great experience. A course taught by a valued teach. Enjoyed it all the way though I would have liked more mathematical and theoretical models. But then where do you end in a MOOC ?

The Professor was very knowledgeable and carried the class along with him. He made the course very easy for me even though the course was long. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you to him.

Insightful lectures coupled with teasing quizzes...that's what I call a 'blockbuster' of a course!

Learned quite a bit about markets and human psychology too.
