  4. Recitation Sessions • Every Friday – 50 minutes • Complete homework every Thursday by 11:00 p.m. • Can be worked in group. You get three attempts and then the third answer is locked and scored. • Recitation Instructor will go over problems • You will self correct your work • Ask questions and get help on trouble areas • If issues remain see me or have instructor pass on issue for class lecture on Monday

  5. Weekly Quiz • Every Week you will have a quiz on that week’s material. • The quiz is 90 minutes in length and is due by Sunday 11:00 p.m. • The quiz will open every Thursday at 4:00 p.m. so you have essentially three days to take the quiz. • You should review the weekly homework prior to taking the quiz. • You can do the prepping for exam questions at the end of each chapter to prepare for the weekly quiz.

  6. Class Structure -- Syllabus • Chapter Assignments • We will try and stay on schedule but… • Changes will be posted on web • Homework Assignments • Map to timing from lectures • I will cover the problems in class that have major issues if you ask me to cover them…but in general they will all be answered at the Friday Recitation • You are graded on effort and timeliness – you can get your points “restored” only if you make a reasonable effort and show up for recitation and participate!

  7. Textbook • Financial Management: Core Concepts • Approach • Equations, Calculators and Spreadsheets • Personal examples as a segue to business applications • Written for this audience • Special Features for you • Finance Follies – Real World Issues and Examples • Putting Finance to Work – Relations to other disciplines • Comments on the text are also welcome • Again forward comments to me, both positive and negative.

  8. Examinations • Open Book and Open Notes • Questions will be more difficult • Efficient use of time a must • Notes are your friends…think about how best to use them at lecture time, not when you study for exam • Calculators • Important tool • Know your calculator… • Laptops • Not in exams or lectures • Library has a book on reserve

  9. Expectations • Attendance • On time for lecture and recitation • Notify me if examination will be missed prior to examine (if at all possible) • Professional Attitude • Please understand that this is a business class and that all communications should be handled in a professional manner. Issues are much easier to solve when we treat each other with respect and courtesy. • Ethics – Do your own work…this is the time to build your skill set
