C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

Actually, I really think that the curriculum design is extremely good in the course, and the TAs helped me a lot during my studies. The video gives us deeper insight into every aspect of C++ programming. The homework provides an opportunity to better understand the knowledge. The forum serves as an important platform in efficiently figuring out the confusing part of our homework. I think everything's fine.
If we really talk about the place to improve, actually, I hope to get more mathematical knowledge background in Level 9, which can help the students understand more about the C++ application.
Finally, I really thank you for the opportunity to take the C++ course, and I really thank my TA, APalley, who is really patient and helpful.
Thanks very much~

The course was wonderful. I can't think of anything at the moment that could be done to improve the course. If anything comes to mind I'll be sure to reach out!

Maybe a study buddy program can be set up. Every student who enroll can be set up randomly with another student.And they'll be able to discuss their problems on the forum in their own thread and probably do other stuff like comparing their progress This way, it can save TA a lot of trouble and also motivate students to finish the course and homework.

The TAs of this cpp course, especially Apalley, are very detailed-oriented, responsible and patient with the students. Without their assistance and advice, I couldn't have completed the course. Thanks!

I think almost everything is perfect, like experienced TA and the great forum environment.
One thing to suggest: I think some relevant books can be recommended at the first beginning to help us learn. That's all.

The community development can be better. Sometimes, it is really hard to find classmates learning the same materials. I feel like that everyone else have moved on and only I am left behind. Peer learning can be more interesting.

Overall, I really learned a lot. It was quite challenging to juggle C++ with two internships, but I somehow managed to pull through with no previous C++ background. I made progress that I wouldn't have thought possible in 30 days. The HW was extremely useful, so were the TAs. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone aiming to gain some working C++ knowledge!

The TAs and forums are super helpful, and the course is well structured. It would have taken me a lot longer to get to this level on my own without as much direction!

I think the course is already very good. If the quiz can have analysis, it will be better. Sometimes I didn't understand it thoroughly.

A very big progress for me. Now I feel much more confident. Tasks and exam showed strengths and weakness on which I will now focus. Thank you for this course!

This is a very useful course. I learn so many things during the course containing basic c++ knowledge and its application for computational finance. The professor and TA are very kind to answer related questions.

It is very helpful. I like the options part a lot, and I wish there were more about excels since it is very useful. This is the best online course I've ever taken in the way the TAs are always online and very helpful. The finals stressed me out a little bit since I'm more used to lay back and relax to debug the code, but that's fine.

I am taking this course to learn more about C++ and preparing for my application for the masters in financial engineering. I found this course harder than I think that I spent tons of hours to learn coding. It is a very challenging course as an online course, but I do learn a lot from it. Also thanks very much for the assistance from TAs. They are very helpful.

This course is excellent for c++ beginners who not only want to code and make their code compile, but also attempt to code elegantly. Forum and teaching assistants are very helpful and responsive.

Yes.
The materials for the course is good. ( more written materials/dicussion should be given towards the last few chapters)
TA Avi Palley is exceptional !!

I had some programming background (in C++ as well), so I may not have been able to take advantage of everything as much as someone who was completely fresh and new. However, the various, new perspectives taught in the course was very helpful. In addition, I think the concepts covered were very important topics (pointers, memory management, STL, Boost, applications in FE, etc.) and something that is overlooked in most other C++ programming books/courses. I think this class covered these important CS topics as well as C++ specific topics quite well.

The course material covered a lot of useful topics and I learned more than I had hoped for before starting the course. The exercises were a helpful tool to assimilate the material and remember it.

This course is well-designed, friendly to learn, flexible to manage your time and has enriched contents combining C++ and Financial Engineering. I really enjoyed C++ learning through the vivid course video made by Duffy ( those figures he draws is clear and funny) and the patient help of my TA, APalley. This course has met my original goal of learning C++ since I can understand the hard knowledge step by step by taking homework and quizzes. Thanks for Quantnet's help and I'll continue my journey of C++.

This is a great course. The videos and the homework is very helpful for my improving coding ability. Plus, the best part of this course is the forum. It certainly facilitates communication on some consistent questions. It meets my original goal for taking this C++ course.

The course offers an opportunity to let me feel the power of C++ in real life.

It meets my goal for laying a foundation for c++.
