TOP REVIEWS FROM CORPORATE FINANCE II: FINANCING INVESTMENTS AND MANAGING RISK
I have learned a lot in this course. Many topic which i knew very little about were explained in detail with real world examples. Good course to brush up on your skills.
It was a wonderful experience studying the important topics that are used very commonly by the financial experts. A detailed and comprehensive studies were used throughout the course.
Excellent material to drive and support the discussions introduced in the live sessions. Some materials may need a review (particularly wording), but it does not compromise the overall content at all.
