C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

Great quality.
The exercises/assignments are well structured and designed, which helps me understand the concepts better.
I have some basic knowledge of C and want to learn more about C++ specific features. It fully meets my original goal.

The quality is very good, and it meets my origial goal for taking this course. I really learned a lot.

I believe this course is fantastic and it actually helps me a lot in C++ even though it is a little bit demanding in details, nevertheless, it improves me a lot in C++ coding from begining

In one word : excellent. During my PhD and PostDoc time I used Python to do numerical analysis but I never learnt object oriented programming, generic programming. My objective was to learn those aspects in C++. I found the course well designed. The concepts of class, inheritance, generic programming were explained very well with sufficient amount of examples. The assignments were very helpful. For all the chapters HW started with simple exercises and slowly raised the level of complexity. The responses of TA (@APalley) were prompt. The discussions in the forums were very helpful, I found all my queries already discussed in the forum. I recommend this course to others.

The overall quality of the course is impeccable, both the lecture videos and the exercise qusetions. The excercise questions are deliberately designed and serve a really useful purpose in illustrating the concepts. Professor Duffy is very good at explaining abstract concepts with examples too, which I found pretty helpful.
I want to express my special thanks to my TA, Avi Palley. He really cares about this course and has been responsive and patient throughout my study. He gave clear and on-time replies and grade the homeworks in detail, as well as giving feedbacks on homeworks.
Thank you all.

It is a very good C++ course to build basic knowledge of C++. Especially the general programming and object-oriented parts. The final project would also give you an opportunity to complete a project close to a real industry project. Because I am a fresher of C++, I felt the course is hard in some parts. However, from this painful experience, I truly learned too much from this course.

This course totally meets my original goal for taking it and I have leant a lot of programming skills from it.

The quality of the course is awesome. It not only met my goal for taking this course, but provided me with a wonderful learning curve. My TA and the whole QuantNet community provided me with an endless support in this journey. I love coding now!

It's a really great course. It makes me know lots of coding fundamentals, which is helpful for both C++ and other coding languages.

I found the course to be very comprehensive and thorough. Notes, lecture videos and the forum provide plenty of information. TAs were very helpful and responsive. This course did meet my goal to learn C++ programming in preparation for graduate studies in financial engineering. I now have a very solid foundation in programming.

Excellent! Got a solid understanding of the foundation of C++ through the course.

The course is well structured, consecutive and reasonably challenging.
The TAs (especially APalley) are supportive and patient. If there is a question that I didn't really get, they would repeatedly answer/discuss it to/with me.

Good quality assignments. Assignment instructions can sometimes be more clearly stated, and the forum would benefit from a text search functionality

The course was an excellent introduction into C++ with a little taste of the financial engineering capabilities towards the end. I would have hoped for a little more discussion around the FE applications but as I learned more about the language, I realized the depth of understanding required.

The course syllabus, material and assignments are very meticulously laid out with special focus on concepts. The system of having TAs assigned to every student is what makes the course stand out. TAs are responsive and friendly. They give constructive feedback on every assignment and clarify doubts.

It’s a nice course with good ta and class mates!

Great course! I think the material is very good, suitable for people who have no programming experience to learn. The atmosphere of the forum was also excellent. The TA answers questions timely and clearly.

It is a terrific course and I really learned a lot from it. Before the course, I only have some basic knowledge about C++, but after three months of learning, I develop a deeper understanding of C and C++, especially their usage in financial engineering field. I also met many outstanding people here in QuantNet. It's really a valuable experience!

This is useful, but more examples of running code and explanation of specific important methods might be more useful

I have learned a lot from this course and I am able to strength my quant background. I give this course 10/10
