Optional Text: Student Problem Manual for use

a TI BAII Plus Advanced Financial Calculator (cost around $30 to $35).
Course Objective: The objective of the course is to
introduce students to the basic questions facing a financial manager and the
tools a financial manager uses to find answers to these questions. The course
will introduce the basic concepts of financial theory and applications of
financial theory in use today. Students will be introduced to legal, ethical,
technological, and global issues facing a financial manager. The course is
designed to enhance a student’s approach to financial decision-making and
emphasizes technical analysis and quantitative approaches to decision making.
Grading: Students take four
examinations during the course. Each examination will be a series of multiple
choice questions, essay questions, and problems. The examinations will be worth
70 percent of the course total. There will be six homework assignments spaced
throughout the course. The five best homework scores will count and will be
worth 30 percent of the course total. Homework can be worked in a group setting
and this is encouraged. Groups may turn in a single homework sheet.
Academic
Dishonesty: Please review Academic
Regulations number 15 in your schedule of classes.
Class Attendance: I expect
students to be on time and present for every class. Good study habits and
efficient management of time will translate into good work habits and
responsible employees. If you cannot make an exam you need to notify me prior
to the exam. Please leave a message on my phone or send me an e-mail message.
