AnonymousDon't be fooled by the word "Foundation". It is a Master level at MIT. If you are an average person and/or have little background, you will learn but you will suffer and fail the class.
You have 1 exam that worth 90% of your grade. The exam is time-constraint and very difficult. You are only allowed a blank excel sheet, basic on-screen calculator, and blank paper (NO physical calculator). It means expert Excel-level and expert understanding of finance is needed to ace the exam.
This is a terrible course for financial exposure. It is clearly made for weeding and selecting only experts or geniuses. The thing is if you can handle the course, there is really no need for you to take this. -
