1. The course is very well organized, there is a good balance between theory and
practical cases.
2. Coming from a non-finance background, I really appreciated that Dr. Athanassakos
made the course so interesting and ease to understand.
3. The learning experience is not just from the teaching, but also from the class
discussion and working with TAs.
4. I really appreciated that we had chance to listen to and talk to our guest speaker,
from whom I learned the personality traits of a good value investor.
5. This value investing course is a life changing experience for me.
Once again, thank you for all of your efforts and passion to make this happen.”

“The course was totally worth it. As an analyst and portfolio manager, I am certain that my analysis will be much more accurate going forward as a result of the Seminar. Furthermore, the practical cases undertaken in the break out groups and in class helped me consolidate the theory taught by Dr. Athanassakos in the first two days, and thus helped me make more sense out of investing.”
