Market Risk Measurement and Management

The module gave a good view not only on the "number" of VAR but on the word behind the number. Good with a lot of easy examples. Good combination of theory and reality. The instructor was easy to understand and it was free to ask questions. Good body language - felt like "one of us", not a teacher and a class.
