COURSE: This
is the introductory course in financial management that is designed to provide
you with a working knowledge of the processes and techniques of financial
analysis, planning, and decision-making in a business organization, and the
environment in which a financial manager must operate. Emphasis will be as much on application as
on theory and principles.
POLICIES:
Regular attendance is expected.
Participation in class discussions is also expected and would include providing
answers to homework problems and questions, and volunteering information on the
topic(s) being discussed based on above readings. Please read the appropriate chapter before coming to class. Final grades will be based on the following:

Homework problems will be solved in class in groups
with each member of the group expected to participate orally as well as by
writing the solution(s) on the board. Absence or lack of adequate participation
on a day will cost you 1% of your final grade, with a maximum loss of 10% for
the entire trimester.
Each group of 2-3 students will
solve and present to class complete solution to an assigned end-of-chapter
Integrated Case. The write-up of the
solution, using Word (and Excel, if appropriate), must be turned
in at the beginning of the presentation.
There must be a title page containing the following information: BA 380
Financial Management, Fall 2003, chapter number, title of the case,
group-member names, and date of presentation.
The name(s) of group-member(s) who do not adequately participate in
solving and presenting the case should not appear on the title page, as they
will receive a grade of zero for it.
During or at the beginning of
several class meetings, you would be randomly asked to summarize a
finance-related article or news item from the Wall Street Journal, Financial
Times, or any other financial publication.
Each time you are unable to do so or are absent, it would cost you 1% of
your final grade, with a maximum loss of 5%.
Use of a TI financial calculator is required. TI-83 is highly recommended but BAII PLUS is acceptable. All work (calculations, etc.) must be shown during exams. No materials other than time value of money tables and equations will be permitted during exams.
Please notify me of any learning or physical disability,
or special needs, which may affect your performance in this class. Arrangements will be made to provide you
with the appropriate accommodation.
It
is your responsibility as a student to ensure that you are properly enrolled in
this course. It is not possible to add courses after the census
date. To check your enrollment status, use WEBOPUS and click on
Student-Detail-Schedule. Copying an assignment from another student’s
disk or work and turning it in as own work constitutes academic dishonesty. College regulations against academic
dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism) will be strictly enforced. Missed exams cannot be made up and late
assignments will not be accepted.
