Course Reflection - Micah

 I really appreciated retaking this course again. In this class this year, I’m glad that I was given more time to look into forex as I have a special love for that. I definitely was helped to recall concepts that I learned in past versions of the course that I may have forgotten over the course of time. I think the main takeaway from this course for me is that a financial situation is workable and it’s never hopeless. If you’re in a tough moment financially, there is so much that you can do to try to work your way out. I learned that I can do something. That I can have an impact. I really loved taking this class each time and I feel very lucky to be here for what could potentially be the last one. Thank you Dr. Ott.

Andres Yengle Reflection

  This course was absolutely amazing. I learned so much more about finances than I have in my whole life in any class that I have ever taken. I really enjoyed the book. Why didn't they teach me this in school because I feel like every single tip that is in there is very useful. I also really enjoyed learning about crypto assets but I wish all of us were required to read the crypto assets instead of your money or your life. Or even all three, I feel as though the crypto assets are super important and are the future of money. I think that it would make more sense for everyone to read the whole thing to really get the most out of it. Although we didn't read the whole thing, what I did read was so interesting that it has made me very interested in mining and trading crypto. I also really enjoyed the game of life. It showed me how much living really costs and it also showed me how expensive that life I want to lead will be. I never realized how much my parents pay to keep up with my...

Personal Finance Reflection

  Personal Finance Reflection   Gustavo  When I first started this course I had a few doubts on how good it would be and the tough workload that I heard about. However, after the first week I was having fun and even enjoying a lot of the assignments that we had to do. The ideas and the things I learned from this class are very valuable and I definitely will use them in the future. The movies we also got to watch were not only informative but they were also very entertaining. I always felt like I had something to do and I was never bored. Reading the books was also very fun and informative. The crypto book taught me a new level of crypto currency that I did not know about as well as showing me how I can use it in my life, overall the book showed me everything I feel like I need to know to start crypto. YMYL had taught be how we should not only be informed with our finances, but it also showed me how we should be informed with our "Life Energy". WDTTMTIS taught me s...

Course Reflection - Shyla

 Shyla Jogi Dr. Ott Personal Finance     I learned so much from this course. Over just the past two weeks, I learned about so many aspects of personal finance, from options trading to real estate to the morals of money. I learned so much more than I thought I would have over this J-Term. But at the end of these two weeks, I honestly feel that I learned so much more than I've learned about money through my whole school career. All the mini projects we did served to cement my knowledge with hands-on activities, making it more active learning, not just passive lectures and readings. The readings we were assigned, Your Money or Your Life , Cryptoassets , and  Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School taught me so much about all these individual topics. Your Money or Your Life  was really informative when it came to talking about what 'work' means, what my spending habits really are, how to track my monthly expenses, and what money really means. Why Didn't They Te...
