I respect the fact the lectures contain a lot of references to the outside world, e.g. goes beyond the academia.

The course content is excellent.. but it has a huge problem from my point of view.
Me as a person who had no background at all about company capitals and finance topics, found it extremely difficult to cope with the course specially the first week.
I needed one month of study from other sources before being able to complete the first week.
I suggest that the content should be adjusted to give a basic introduction for beginners.
