C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

Course is well structured, having the homeworks build on each other each module really helped solidify some of the more difficult concepts. Level 9 is quite a bit more challenging than the rest, but it's when you really see how much you've learnt. Quizzes were also helpful as they highlighted some of the finer aspects that you might not see as much in the exercises. My TA, Avi Palley, was always quick to respond to my questions, as well as marking the homework and giving feedback.

This is the first online course I have taken, I have studied C++ in my university, but it was too simple to use in practice, just wanted to eliminate illiteracy in C++. So I took this class to improve my ability in C++, I have learned much from this course, especially in level 9, introductory computational finance, this is the first time I applied C++ in pricing option. Also, when I had problem cannot solve by myself, I just asked in the forum, my TA @APalley, always replied me quickly and gave his advice, I really appreciated him for his patience.

The C++ Programming for Financial Engineering is great, I have learnt a lot with the help of TA throughout the courses. The platform for students boost my study efficiency, because we can ask and reply questions for each other any time we want. My TA is very great @APalley. He is very professional and patient.I believe I may cost more than half time to learn C++ if without his help. Very Appreciate.

It's an intensive high-quality course, from where I learned C/C++ from the basic.

Really appreciate for the assistant from TA(especially APalley) and many friends in the forum.

I enjoyed this course! Thanks!

Although additional research is needed to complete the course, the lecture videos, lecture slides and TA's supports were very clear. Avi Palley's feedback on my homework was especially helpful to me.

This is really a great course for beginners. Compared to programming courses I've received, this one is quite clear. Besides the lectures, I find the forum a great place to learn. Thanks to TA, APally and Pavlos Sakoglou, they always gave quick response to my questions. Also, other students' discussion inspired me a lot. Hope that more students could benefit from this course in the future!

Amazing course. It gives me strong basic knowledge which is super helpful to my future career.

This course is very changeable, but very tailor-made for beginners to learn Financial Programming. The TAs provide good support and respond message in time. Overall, this is a very nice course.

This course is awesome especially for people who don't have any programming experiences before. The resources are also extremely helpful, TA is really supportive and respond to my questions timely. Learnt a lot from the dynamic forum. After about 2 month study, I get to build my own financial projects now. Definitely a good investment.

Really wonderful courses!

Taking it step by step, and you will love coding.

Love the academic atmosphere in this forum!!

And my TA APalley is great and responsible. Love the time here!

This course drives me to further pursue my study in quant field.

A bit challenging for those without much experience in programming, but it's nice. TA is very helpful.

This course really helps a lot in preparing me for my future study and career, since I am applying for MFE program this year and want to develop further in quantitative finance. The TAs are great! Whenever there is any problem with my homework, they are always there to help. I not only learned a lot from the course materials, but got many tips about programming on the forum as well. Especially thanks my TA, APalley, who offers detailed comments on my homework every time. He really enables me to get clear what should be paid attention to, and these advice are very specific. Thanks to you all for this course! It has been a pleasure being with you guys along the way!

Course is very good. The C++ concepts and OOP thinking is comprehensive and clear. Through the course you can fully understand C++ characteristic . The homework and quiz are well-designed which is very helpful for me to master and review C++ concepts. TA is very helpful. He leads me to build OOP thinking. He gave detail comments of every exercise of every homework., Form his comments I deepened understanding of C++ concept. I'm impressed with his rich knowledge , kindness and patience.

TA, is awesome, allowing me to do many fancy stuffs with losing too much points ^_^

Yet it's the extracurricular fancy stuffs help me the most!! Like data structs and simple model wheels

This is a very well structured course from which every aspiring programmer can glean benefits. The pace of the material is fast, yet attainable, if one dedicates an adequate amount of time to master each level. I was able to complete the course while working full time with ample time to spare - take advantage of the first two levels that are accessible before enrolling in the course.

You will be taken from the basics of the C language to C++ functions, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, generic programming, STL, boost, etc. Each level builds on the previous one in a natural and seamless fashion. In the end, you will leave the course with more knowledge and material than most undergrad programming courses offer. Prior experience helps, but is not a must. I would recommend investing in a good beginner book nonetheless.

While the TA is exceptional, you have a vast amount of knowledge shared in the forums which basically addresses pretty much any question you might have. This course was an enjoyable ride which only got better as the levels increased.

Course designed in good manner, and the material provided in level 9 is very useful. TA did really good jobs in terms of answering questions, grading, and commenting.

The course is quite useful for financial engineering and pave the way for becoming a quant. Also, TA is quite careful about every homework. The forum is useful for course discussion.

Pretty pretty good!

The course is comprehensive and systematic.

Forum is quite helpful. I can find answers to almost all my questions there.

My TA is very nice and always replies to my questions quickly.

The course is really helpful for understanding C++ knowledge and interviews. The assignments and exams are demanding and TA is really supportive in giving quick and instructive responses!

The course was great. Gave a nice introduction to object oriented programming. Instructors were quick to respond to any questions. Definitely had me prepared for my MFE program.
