A lot of work but cool course content and really helps you figure out how to plan finances and create large scale plans for the future. Biweekly tests are really hard and do not always align with the slides, you need to do the practice questions every week. Midterm was the same and honestly still difficult with a lot of trivia. The quantitative questions were straightforward. Gerry is great. Definitely not a bird course like I was thinking though.
