The development of this course was partially funded by an education grant from Dominion
This course will be; • Incredibly rewarding, if you allow it to be • Information and knowledge that will follow you and impact you throughout life • Challenging • Satisfies a MATH goal • It is online • Taught in summer school
The GREAT news is that I am 100% confident that each one of you can be successful in this course if you choose to be. • Persistence, tenacity and great attitude will be required. • DISCIPLINE: The ability to forego today what many can have to have tomorrow what so few can. • I will work as hard as you. • Make an effort. Do some research • Then ask good questions.
Be sure that you fully understand the syllabus, course requirements and deadlines. • All communication will be via live.longwood.edu accounts
All online assignments will be administered through Canvas. • For all online assignments you may use any source that you have available. However, you may NOT work in conjunction with or communicate with others. • Given that you may work ahead, answers to quizzes and/or exams will be made available only after the deadline has passed. Be proactive, look up answers to questions missed! • The Final Exam will be given on July 10 at Longwood or in an approved proctored environment prior to deadline.
Student evaluation - Students will be evaluated on his/her performance on quizzes, examinations and projects.
There will be NO EXCEPTIONS for technical issues such as lost internet connections, power outages, or any other issues relating to assignment deadlines. • I would suggest that all other programs be turned off before starting a quiz or exam. If an assignment is missed, regardless of reason, there will be no make-ups allowed. This does include exams. • I would recommend NOTwaiting until the last minute to complete assignments as it is incredibly risky, something that this class should teach you to minimize.
MAKE-UP POLICY: There will be no make-ups allowed for any work. • ACADEMIC INTEGRITY/HONOR CODE POLICY: Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. If the instructor determines that a student has cheated on an assignment, the grade of “F: may be assigned for the assignment or the entire course. • PROJECT: Your project will consist of an analysis in terms of buying a home based on a given career. You should include calculations and provide an explanation. You will also write a paper/report as to how your lifestyle impacts your financial situation.
The best protection is knowledge Have a plan Understand Time value of money Understand taxes Expect unexpected (liquidity) Differentiate wants from needs Protect yourself Understand risk relative to return Don’t play financial mind games Pay yourself first
