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.

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.

It's not a good project. If you don't know anything about Treynor Ratio you are probably not going to learn all there is about it and you won't see the utility of the ratio. If you already know it, then it's just an exercise with a really short conclusion. I give 2 stars because it is still a fun exercise, but you could find something similar or better in youtube.

It would be of more help if the conceptual reasons of using a formula are explained, rather than just mentioning that we need to subtract abc from xyz. If the reasons are explained for the same, it will help in better understanding, conceptual clarity and better analysis.

The video material is okay, but the provided excel sheet was of size 0 KB, making it impossible to work with the same data, and there's even an error in the final quiz..

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.

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.
