Hey akr680!
I took the Sophia Principles of Finance course. It transferred to TESU as FIN-200 Principles of Finance.

The hardest part about Principles of Finance is that they don't tell you why you got a given question wrong - unlike most other Sophia courses. The only "financial calculator" I used was LibreOffice. They do have instructions on how to do certain calculations with either a graphing calculator or via spreadsheet. I completed it in a couple of days but I'll probably need a refresher before taking a different financial course in the future.

It was a tough course. Moreso than other finance courses I’ve taken before. I took a month to really go through the course due to a mix of frustration and trying to really learn what I was getting wrong.
I wish they would explain what you got wrong like other Sophia courses.
I’m just glad it counts and I won’t have to take another finance course ??

The Saylor.org Principles of Finance course allows you to use the http://www.fncalculator.com/ calculator.
It seems to work pretty well for the Sophia course.
Just really a matter of knowing how a few set of formulas work. Things like:
simple/compound interest rates
discount rate
future/present value of money (TVM Calculator)
net present value (NPV)
internal rate of return (IRR)
total value of assets
value of total liabilities
rule of 72 (72/years to determine how long double)
future value of an annuity
Standard Deviation of the Return (stock)
market beta
Probability (profit outcome)
Modigliani-Miller Theorem
simple average cost of capital
weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
capital asset pricing models (CAPM)
Not to brag but I got through the Sophia course in one day but finance is my strength so most of the stuff I already knew. Just a matter of filling in the missing pieces on stuff I didn't know and that they were going to test on.
