Notation et examens
There is a lot of information abouts bonds, and many of us foreign students don't use bonds at all. In the lectures they say that they orefer talking about bonds rather than about assurances, but for us it would be better to have assurances (or, why not, include both).
Great introduction course. Some sections dragged on a while, but overall great experience.
Excellent course and instructors.
