Quiz – Making a Difference 2

Question:

In this second week of Finance for Everyone: Decisions, we have explored the flow of money, focusing on how good ideas are transformed into value in a functioning market system, as well as the various types of financial markets.

Consider your evolving understanding and level of comfort with finance. Do you find your confidence in engaging with finance is growing? Do you feel more comfortable discussing financial concepts with family or community members than before taking this course? Have you begun evaluate your own financial decisions? What are some ideas to help you and your fellow learners increase your confidence and understanding?

Regardless of your key insights, we hope you share them online. Post your key learnings, insights, and/or opinions to your learning portfolio or twitter (and make sure to use the hashtag #F4E in your tweets)! You are free to choose the subject of your learning portfolio blog post or tweet; this way, you can focus on topics that catch your interest the most.

Answer:

I have learned a lot about finance after taking this course. Though there are still a lot of things I don’t know in finance, I do find myself understanding financial concepts better. The formulas are somewhat complicated for me, who is always better in texts than numbers. I got some questions in quizzes wrong but there is no explanation to how to get the right answers, that’s frustrating to me. I wish I could have more explanation on how to get to the right answers. The ideas introduced are quite new, I feel like I can understand most of it when I’m taking the lessons but I find it difficult to remember as everything just goes away like a water flow. Still, the ideas introduced are pretty cool that do affect how I see about finance. I like that it’s a very informative course but just that what I learned doesn’t stick well. Would be nice if there are more extra practices I can do with explanation to answers except quizzes, so I can remember what I learned better. Some supplementary readings or exercises seem to be nice add-on.
