Boosts your up-to-date understanding of how strategy and valuation come together. It helped me better understand my PE clients' buy & build strategies from a growth option valuation perspective.

Excellent course which has been developed very well with detailed explanation videos for learners. The course also provides great practical application of teachings with real valuation examples

While the course delivers valuable core learnings, my overall experience was somewhat underwhelming. The content itself - once supplemented with significant additional study - was insightful and worthwhile. However, there were several aspects that detracted from the learning experience. Firstly, the presentation style was quite disengaging. The lecturer appeared to rely heavily on a teleprompter, which made the video sessions feel scripted and impersonal. Secondly, the assignments were disproportionately difficult relative to the material covered in the lectures. Completing them required a considerable amount of extra research and time, beyond what was initially expected for the course. Additionally, the course materials contained numerous typos, which gave the impression that the content hadn’t been thoroughly reviewed. That said, for those willing to invest the extra effort, the course can still be a valuable learning experience. I just believe it could greatly benefit from more polished delivery, better alignment between lectures and assignments, and more careful editing.

For someone with no background in finance or accounting, this course was very interesting and educational; however, because not all concepts are explained and examples are not presented for each topic, it made passing the exams very challenging. I am also certain that intermediate rounding contributed to incorrect final answers despite applying the correct methodologies.
Many of the videos are clearly reading scripted text rather than natural instruction based on personal knowledge. This is necessary to keep the videos short and accessible, but it made some of the content more difficult to follow or understand. I could have used more discussion on the "why" for certain assumptions and calculations.

The animated videos as well as those with professor Han Smith were quite good and fun to watch. Sometimes the calculations were a bit difficult to follow, especially on a smaller device (iPad), but it's ok for an advanced course. What I didn't like so much was the overall structure - some things seem to be repeated randomly, not only from the introduction in part 1. Other topics seemed to pop up in quizes or discussions first time, and I found it difficult to navigate to the corresponding video to digest it again.

Material itself is very interesting and thorough. Some explanations are best served by examples, which is done in this course however there are instances where wording and verbosity has overcomplicated otherwise simple concepts, namely in week 3 (lots of jargon).
All in all, pleasant introduction to game theory and real options valuations methods.

While contents of this course are extremely interesting and useful in the world of corporate finance and valuations, the content and program could've been made a little better. Some presentations and contents where missing or incomplete. More textual support might've also helped a bit. Otherwise very interesting course with helpful content.

Der Kurs hat gute Denkanstöße geboten. Allerdings war er meiner Meinung nach zu oberflächlich und nicht dem Schwierigkeitsgrad entsprechend.
Des Weiteren waren einige Aufgaben sehr missverständlich geschildert.
Um einen neuen Denkanstoß zu bekommen, kann ich diesen Kurs allerdings empfehlen.

This is a below average course. Content is very limited as compared to the questions in the quizzes to pass the exam. I spent hours studying offline due to very limited content and I am still not able to complete the course. Not recommended to study valuation.

There are only men in the videos (only one woman on the background because they needed her for the man to have children). It discourages me to keep watching it. Women need representation.
