That's really good feedback for anybody thinking of attempting that course. Does your professor recommend an accompanying course to Sargent and Stachurski's quantitative economics course? I haven't seen many other courses that provide code fragments to run, so S&S's course still has a lot going for it in that regard.

Sargent course looks pretty intense. IMF course looks maybe more approachable, uses Eviews which is a time-series-oriented statistical modeling package.
