FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Spring 2006
Grading:
Midterms (2 x 27% each) 54%
Final Exam 36%
Assignments (sets of problems) 7%
Participation 3%
The course will focus on theories, concepts, and principles as opposed to institutional
material, although some institutional background is needed.
Exams will consist of conceptual and problem solving questions. Use of financial
calculators is allowed, but no other electronics are permitted during exams. All cell
phones, PDAs, Computer notebooks and other wireless and communication devices must
be turned off and put away. All exams are closed book and closed notes. Each student
may use ONLY ONE 4” x 6” index card to hand write formulas that may be referenced
during exams. Your index card may not include worked examples or detailed notes.
Problem sets will be assigned during the semester, and will account for 7% of your
semester grade.
Participation will also include attendance and short quizzes, and will account for 3% of
your semester grade.
Under normal circumstances no makeup exams will be given. If you miss one of the first
two exams due to an emergency a comprehensive final will count for 63% of your
semester grade, provided you make arrangements with me prior to missing the exam.
Final exam is comprehensive and you must attend it to receive a passing grade in this
class. Final grades awarded will be letter grades (no +/- will be given)
