C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

This course gave me an introduction to programming and it made me realized why programming is interesting.

I think the course is generally good.
It covers even more contents that is not taught in C++ course taught by our universities' CS department.
Though I fail to earn the distinction certificate as I wish, I am satisfied with the result, since I have never taken any programming courses before.

The quality is high, I really appreciate all the assignments in this course, which helped me learn how to write codes effectively.

I think it covers a large content in C++ that is used in quantitative finance and it meets my original goal for taking this C++ course.

The course is nicely designed and tailored to financial engineering near the end, which is great. The course meets my goal of refreshing my C++ program skills.

This course is a very well-structured introductory course. I had basic programming knowledge in other languages but was new to C++, and I find this course very suitable for me. It teaches C and C++ specific features such as pointers, as well as general program design basics and OOP concepts. The lecture video, code examples and tutors on the forum are also helpful.

I really love this course! This course improves my programming skills in C++. The highlights of this course are the abundant and reasonable coding training, the patient and responsible TA.

I am fully satisfied with the course and the skills I developed. In the end, I confirm that learning by researching on the forum, asking etc. Is very effective.

This course really helps me so much on learning C++, and perfectly lives up to my expectation.

This course is very helpful, not only in the aspect of the language itself, but also its application in financial engineering. I really gain a lot from the course.

Great course! Meet my goals.

I like this course and I really appreciate the work of Prof. Duffy and my TA. The lessons are organized well that help me set up a solid foundation in C++ programming. Though some of the work is relatively rigorous, it is a good start for me to get into the financial engineering field.

It's been an intense but meaningful 16 -week learning process. The course starts from the basic knowledge for syntax in C/C++ and OOP, which is not that hard for me. And the contents gradually grow difficult. It's a great experience to build those points, lines, circle classes and the level 9 is quite challenging, where I spent a lot of time to figure things out. But the course as a whole is really something useful and it meets my goal of learning C++ and deal with real finance stuff.

The course is really challenging but also really useful.

This course is well-designed and I fully enjoy it. It meets my goal of learning about C++ and its applications on quantitative finance.

This is a great course, it meets my original goal.

The C++ is very helpful. Actually it is a little harder than I thought since I am a beginner. But the course is arranged well so you can catch up with every topic and get a better understanding of c++.

The material is very useful. However, as a C++ course designing for poeple with no CS background, I think the course overall is pretty hard, but still manageable, especially with all the forums where you can find people asking exactly same question that you are comfused. Moreover, C++ itself is a harder programming language compared to Python or MATLAB.
Overall, I think this course is a must for people who want to study MFE in grad schools, and that is also why I rated it as a 5/5.

The overall quality is good, and it indeed covers most of the basic contents in C++

It gave me all the knowledge about C++. I think it's pretty helpful.
