Interesting class, much easier than ds but at times feels like a content dump. Based in QM1 level of stats. Builds of a lot of theories taught in PoF. Being honest it did feel like a Lv2 class in terms of difficulty however exam was a little bit challenging. With that being said Patty is an excellent lect

Content was much more manageable and easier compared to Derivatives Securities. You will love it you like to do mathematical calculation!

Taught by Patrick. Pre recorded lectures, zoom tutorials and monitored discussion board. I personally think the structure of the contents were a bit messy and hard to follow, but very interesting contents still. Tutorial by Shirley Gu made things easier to understand, and the discussion board was also helpful. Brutally hard MST and doable final exam (still difficult than the sample given though)

Compared to Derivatives, a lot more content-heavy and theory-based. A lot of focus on understanding basic theories and having to apply it to a different context. Loved lecturer Kelly's energy (only thing- his lecture slides are ugly). Cons: tutors were all quite subpar, lack of practice resources (mostly from textbook) and MST and Exam were extremely difficult (different from practice resources and lack of time).

Overall a pretty ok subject. It’s the first semester that Patrick’s teaching and I personally quite liked him as a lecturer. However, the content of the subject is difficult and the final exam was also extremely hard.

Although the subject is interesting from an academic perspective many of the concepts do not seem applicable in a practical sense. Overall quite hard although practice will make the subject quite doable

Can get very mathematical. As long as you have a strong analytical base, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

good subject! should do it

Easy peasy subject.

Loved this subject. Very technical but well explained by lecturer Gil Aharoni.
