Well designed C++ course. Love the exercises
I thought the course was very well designed. Intensive and builds from the ground up. I found after a few levels I was no longer "thinking" as much while coding and it became more of "speaking" to the program. I came into the course with some experience in C++ but I felt that this program allowed me to substantially improve the foundational programming skills needed to advance further in this field. I loved the exercises and felt they all had something to offer. It did not get too repetitive and kept the challenge level high enough but not unachievable.

Excellent experience learning C++
Experience was excellent, I really feel i have learnt something i can use. The greatest thing is I realized how many applications c++ has and i want to discover all of them. I found the course well structured and the ta are amazing. I started it because I'd like to work in quantitative finance

So happy I completed this C++ course
I was lucky enough to have this course recommended to me by some lovely seniors and sisters who were studying abroad. They told me this course is really well-known in the financial engineering program and is a great choice for students who want to build on their C++ skills. My learning process has been a bit of a journey! I'm studying by chance during the summer internship, so it's been a slow but steady progress. After that, I really focused on learning, completed all the levels from 3 to 8, and then prepared for Baruch's early program interview. I started level 9 later, and finished with only 5 days left from the deadline. I'm so happy to say that I finally completed the whole course! I thought the quality of the slides and homework was really good, and I found level 9 really useful because it's all about financial engineering, so there's lots of ready-made code for learning. There are also lots of helpful threads in the forum that can solve almost all problems, which I think is great!

Great C++ course.
I enjoyed the class. I found the TAs, the forum, and the professor helpful.
There are a lot of exercises and I believe there is a good combination of doing and lectures.
It's weighted towards doing.

My coding level has improved significantly.
I first became aware of this course because of Baruch's graduate program MFE. also I was well aware of the importance of C++ in the quantitative field. Looking at the results, I think my coding level has improved significantly.

Highly recommend for breaking into MFE programs
As someone trying break into MFE programs from investment banking, I had limited cs classes (1) in undergrad. I learned from various connections that this course is highly regarded in the world of quant finance, and after finishing I feel so much more confident about programming. This course is very dense in content (especially for people new to programming) and requires time to really do researches on your own (especially for Level 9) but the teaching is great. Also I received great instructions from TA and the forums. I would strongly recommend for anyone interested in quant finance, regardless of prior programming experience:)

QuantNet C++ course
The course provides a very comprehensive introduction to C++, from the basics to OOP and GP. The course has helped me establish a foundation in C++ for financial engineering, and I hope to see its real-life applications in the near future. I find my TA very responsible, and the supportive community has also been very helpful.

Great C++ course for MFE admission
I heard about the course from my classmates. I wanna take this course because I didn't take a C++ programming course at school, and this is necessary for a MFE program admission. The course is really well-arranged, especially for the homework part. It enables me to dive deeper in to every level step by step.

Wise choice to take this course
Excellent experience! The course is really systematic and has covered a lot of details as well as ideas for program design.
The course was recommended by a friend to me who is also learning financial engineering. He found the course useful and informative so I decided to take the course as well, which turned out to be a wise choice.

Fantastic course for Quant dev positions that need C++
Fantastic learning experience. The TA Avi and Paul were super helpful. The course is clearly outlined and well structured, and the videos are very clear in content. It is recommended to people who want to learn C++, not especially for finance people for most of the course content (but it might be a little difficult if they have no idea about those options).
The reason for taking the course is I would like to widen my options when applying for a job. With C++, I could apply for Quant developer or other modeling positions that require C++.
