Textbook and Other Required Materials “Acquiring and Managing Financial Resources” customized text, Southwestern Thomson Learning, 2006, ISBN 0-324-52645- Class Procedures Your regular class meetings will involve a variety of teaching methods --from lectures and class discussions to problem solving and internet exercises-- so it is important to come to class with advance preparation (reading and assignments) completed. Your grade for the course will depend on both individual work and group work both inside and outside of the classroom as outlined below. Examinations and Make-up Exam Policy There will be three regular chapter exams and one comprehensive final examination. It is to your advantage to take all exams at the scheduled times. Make-up exams are discouraged and need to be arranged with the instructor’s approval prior to the date of the regularly scheduled exam. If the student has to miss an examination due to a reasonable cause, it is the student’s responsibility to schedule a make-up examination in the testing center prior to the return of the exam results to the class. Exams missed without the prior approval or without adequate documentation of the reason for missing the exam will result in a recorded grade of zero for the missed exam. Exams missed with prior approval and adequate documentation will result in a score for the missed exam equal to 10% less than the average of the remaining two exams. All students must take the comprehensive final examination as scheduled unless a formal incomplete contract has been signed and approved. Grading Policy Your course grade consists of many components, reflecting the many aspects of this course. The following items are graded and will be included in the determination of the overall course grade:

  1. Homework (5 individual assignments @ 20 points each) 100
  2. Chapter examinations (3) 300
  3. Final examination (comprehensive!) 200
  4. In-class activities and group projects (5) 100
  5. Class participation and attendance* 100 Total course points 800 The student’s final course grade is computed using the following scale: Percentage of Total Points Grade 90 to 100 A 80 to 89 B 70 to 79 C
