I found this to be a relatively challenging but also quite an interesting course. The exams are done on your computer and have 0 part marks, so you have to be 100% sure you put in the right numbers. If you simple spam a lot of practice and get comfortable with excel then you will be fine, especially since they curve to allow people to do well.

Great course overall

Finance isn’t impossibly difficult, but it can definitely feel heavy because there’s so much to keep up with, weekly quizzes, in-class quizzes, participation, homework, and then midterms and exams that are weighted a lot. The exams aren’t just multiple choice; many questions are fill-in-the-blank where you need exact numbers and have to know how to use Excel, which adds to the challenge. I found the midterm much harder than the final, but overall the course became more manageable toward the end. There’s a lot of content to review and plenty of practice required, but if you stay consistent and keep up with the workload, it’s very possible to do well.
