Comments
The content of the course is very interesting and useful. However, the teaching style is pretty boring.
I took this course in Sem 2 (AY 2014/2015). The material is very heavy. There are a lot of numerical calculations and formulas. Comparing to similar course like Business Finance is a lot more structured.
