C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

The content was excellent. The lectures were good and explained the content well. The exercises had a good mix of basic and challenging. I feel that I have an understanding and appreciation for the role of C++ in finance (and other disciplines).

The coverage, depth and coverage of this courses is pretty good.

Would be much better of the videos are retaken with updated materials and modifying minor typos, takes, renewed drawings.
Also, Professor Duffy’s mic seems too sensitive and catching all the unnecessary noises.
Other than that, the course helped me to gain basics of c++

Well organized course covers many aspects in cpp
The TA assistance is very helpful

Good quality. I have received what I wanted in the first place.

Originally I took the course just as a prerequisite for my MSCF program, but I was able to learn a lot throughout the course and felt that it was well worth taking. I think the structure of the program is nice, and the ordering of how things are introduced makes it easy to build on concepts. Additionally, I thought the forum structure was very useful in debugging or solving problems and the TAs were very kind in their presence and feedback. Though it was an online course, it felt like I was still taking a physical class.

The quality of the course is top-notch. Very challenging but that means very rewarding. I have been trying to take C++ courses from every online sources I could find. None of them can hold the candle of the rigorous computer science concepts taught by Prof. Duffy.

The course gets me familiar with c++ , besides it also give me much experience and confidence on coding as a quant in the future

The overall quality of the course is excellent. It makes me get hang of the basic C++ knowledge and at the mean time, it makes me to learn the option pricing based on the C++. It will be helpful for me to the further study in the financial engineering.

The C++ course is really well-designed and particularly relevant to financial engineering & quantitative finance fields. It definitely meets my expectation. I think I am well prepared to take on new academic & industry challenges by leveraging C++ as a tool.

This is the correct course to take for anybody willing to learn data structure or C++ . TAs are very knowledgeable and helpful in a timely fashion throughout the course, which makes the course a very efficient one.

The course itself covers lots of material regarding the usage of C++11/14. Staff and TA helped me very much on completing the course.

I originally signed up for the course to aid in my MFE applications and to help get me up to speed as somebody who is not from a Computer Science / Mathematics background. I think the course did a good job getting me more familiar with the concept of object-oriented programming in general.

Definitely good C++ online course, the big picture of C++ clearly manifest. Definitely meet my original goal, strongly recommend!

The course is really helpful on getting an idea about what c++ skills are needed for financial engineering modeling

First, I think the course is good and has ""gold"" embedded.
Second, I think in level 1~8, maybe sometimes the requirement is not very clear. And in level9, from my own perspective, it's better to let us complete the MC, FDM, EXACT methods step by step rather than using professor's code.

It shows me a big picture of the C++ language and how it works with financial applications. I've also earned experience on finding solutions through forums and internet on my own.

The course is perfect in guiding a student through the path of learning proper C++. Starting from the basics of C, going on to the basics of C++, and then building upon itself with every module, reaching the level of C++ required to understand and implement financial applications.
The material includes videos, reading materials, sample code, excelent references, and a lot of homework, helping a student really understand the intricacies of C++.
Additionally, the Teaching Assistants are astonishingly fast and help students grasp the important concepts in order to become a better programmer.
Another amazing tool are the forums, where students, TAs, and proffessor Duffy all share their thoughts and help each other to improve their programming skills.

This course exceeded my expectations. The subjects and modules we're progressive and comprehensive. The TAs were responsive and consistent in their feedback. Best of all, there was no hand holding.

Thank you for teaching me this valuable skill.

This has been a pleasure journey! The course covers both the basis and applications that Financial Engineering students will encounter. TAs and the students in forum are very resourceful and patient. I feel more confident in coding.
