In the middle of the term you will have the opportunity to report on current topics of interest in the international financial sector. The final part of the course will deal with more specific issues in international financial management and risk. I think the mixture of international students and domestic students who have international experiences will stimulate each other s interests in the area of international finance. In this class we will learn how financial markets operate, become more familiar with current issues in international finance, and develop critical thinking techniques to allow us to intelligently examine international issues now and in the future. If you are going to miss an exam you must inform me in advance or provide an acceptable reason as to why you missed but were unable to inform me ahead of time.
Communication is a vital tool in any discipline.
If yu have any problems or conflicts with the exams as scheduled, perhaps we can develop a mutually acceptable alternative. The exams are not comprehensive, but the nature of the course is such that the material builds upon previous chapters. However, once a chapter has been tested, I will not ask specific questions from that chapter on subsequent exams. Each Thursday at the end of class you will submit an outline of the assigned chapter. Each outline should be detailed enough to facilitate your studying for the midterm and final exams, but concise enough that you are able to write one per week.
