I've taken it around the same time, too.

To this day the name of the professor brings a smile to my face. If I remember correctly, I didn't even plan to take this course (had no interest in finance), but after watching the Intro video I was hooked.

I have forgotten about it until this comment. Prof Gautam Kaul's MOOC was the first course I took on any MOOC. I did not finish it, mainly because it became very mathematical towards the end and I couldn't keep up. The course gave me appreciation for many things in finance, including personal finance. It's not exaggeration to say that that MOOC was a trigger to seek pay rise, contribute more to 401K and few adjustments in personal finances.

A good reminder and greatful to MOOCs and this course.
