The primary purpose of this course is to let students apply the finance principals and theories they learned in previous classes to real world cases. Although the instructor will cover some concepts in class periodically, students are responsible for reviewing the relevant materials that are needed to analyze the cases. The students should play major roles in the classroom, although the instructor may give brief review of relevant concepts. Presentations and discussions of the cases are where most of the learning occurs. This is a close-book test based on the financial concepts and principals covered in the case discussions.
All questions are in the essay format.
Each group should prepare a written report for the case assigned. This report should include a two-page case analysis, plus any exhibits. The length of your report is limited so do not repeat the information given in the case. If you believe there is not enough information for you to answer the suggested questions, make your own assumptions and clearly specify your assumptions in the report or exhibits. I will not answer questions regarding the cases before the class.
