This course is terrific. I listened to it in the car so I have the audio version not the video version. So I'm not sure if it would be even better to see the slides that he refers to. I do however download and print the pdf docs. I listened to the original Financial Markets (2006 release I believe), and this one is a nice review of that material and a good update. He talks about current economic conditions in this version, it's a little more relevant. Although, because I didn't have any of the slides to look at, and obviously didn't attend any of the TA led workshops I definitely needed twice through this course to fully grasp everything.
