Very useful subject as it applies to the real-world very closely, and you can apply it to your own investment decisions into the future. Is not too difficult, but you do need to put in some effort to understand underlying concepts and theories.

Learn about banks. Pretty good course if you interview for finance positions in banks. Assessment is easy.

Overall a good course. Parts of it are repetitive from previous finance courses, but there is some interesting new content such as VAR and credit risk concepts. The course itself is not too difficult but definitely no pushover. Probably middle of the finance electives pack in terms of difficulty.
