C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

The content of this course is intensive and detailed. The part I like most is its continues emphasis on a good coding practice. The reply from my TA and other TA is always prompt. TA's been implementing a high standard on the homework, which is good because I come to this course to be trained to be the best programmer. The support from the forum is tremendous, not only from TA, from Daniel, but even more importantly from the peer fellows. Every question I have encountered has been fully discussed on the forum, and there are many new things as well.

Four months ago, I knew nothing about c++, but now I can apply different methods to price options. This course is amazing. The learning materials are clear and the homework makes sure learners command the essence in each level. What's more, my TA is really helpful, providing answers to my questions and in time feedback to my homework.

Thanks this course and my TA for this wonderful experience!

This course is integrated, comprehensive and well-structured. I learned a lot about C++ language and its applications. I really appreciate TAs help. They are responsive and extremely helpful!!!

Very useful course for people interested in MFE with weak programming background.

TAs are always helpful and are able to answer questions in a timely manner.

Course was excellent. The concepts were clearly explained in the videos, coursework and forum. The TA was highly responsive and descriptive. I now feel confident in my ability to apply my C++ skills to future financial engineering courses.

TAs are very helpful.

HWs helped me to understand the concepts.

Personally, I prefer learning coding via a lot of examples along with theories. Thus, the lectures might focus a bit too much on theories. Although there are always coding examples at the end, it's a better idea to show how a simple code is built.
Suggestion:
The HWs are well-designed.

This course is very vigorous. All the content taught in this cause is directly applicable to MFE program.

The forum is quite helpful. Most of the questions I encountered have been fully discussed on the forum by previous students and TAs, which saved me a lot of time to figure out what's wrong with my code. APalley is a good TA. I formed some good coding habits from his comments on my HW, such as always using colon syntax, declaring proper const function, etc. I appreciated his help very much.

The course was phenomenal. Avi was a great TA. He was quick in answering questions and fair in grading homework. Professor Duffy's lectures we're exciting and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to friends.

The course is well organized, making it easy for beginners while also provides challenges for those who already learnt some programming. TA has been very friendly and always gives a feedback in time. The learning process will be satisfying as long as you make full use of the forum. A great course indeed.

This course covers basic OOP knowledge and its application on financial engineering. The homework are tightly correlated with useful structure in numerical analysis which can be further used in quantitative finance application. The STL and Boost part are extremely useful since we hardly study these material in our computer science classes. The TA is very patient and glad to answer every question I proposed. Generally, it's a well-designed course and worth to enroll.

Great course! Was very well structured and a good introduction to C++. The TA, Avi, and prof. Duffy were always there with their prompt replies and the amount of information on the forums was a big help.

The quality of this course are remarkable. I have learned a little bit C++ before but are not so related to financial engineering like this course. The forum is a excellent place to find any important information and hint to solve the problem. Meanwhile, TA is very willing to help me in every aspects. He show me all the problem in homework patiently and give me much great advice. Professor Duffy are also nice to give me helpful idea not in the video but in the forum.

The course really do well in teaching about c++ and the application in Financial enginering. TA is very nice and patient, also gives me lots of advice. Besides, TA's voice is so charming so that I am so shy during the exam.

The course is excellent, and I have learnt a lot from it. The TAs and classmates are friendly and warm-hearted. Thank you very much! And I will definitely come back from time to time.

The quality is very good especially for someone like me who don't have programming experience before

TA is very helpful and patient

The course provides a overall introduction to implement financial tools in c++. The structure of the course is very clear. TA replies very fast.

The TAs were uniformly helpful! Thank you so much for all the support.

My TA APalley is helpful all the time. He is strict on details, which is good thing for me to cultivate good coding habits. Sometimes the HWs are not clear enough about what we need to do, but the forum gives everything.

Really a useful course that I gain a basic knowledge of c++ programming and get a first knowledge of Financial Engineering( Very basic, maybe more details in high level course).

TA, APalley, is really professional and nice, always patient to answer any questions, even sometimes naive. And others such as Daniel and Pavlos are also warm-hearted. Anyhow, it is really a enjoyable and meaningful experience.
