Course Syllabus

Course objectives
This course is designed for the general business student, not just the finance major. Since this is a basic course, it
will cover a lot of ground. It will begin with a general overview and then go into more detail on several concepts,
financial instruments, and techniques used in financial decision making.
The chief objectives of the course are:
1.

To introduce the students to the world of finance. Anyone involved with the management of a business needs
to have at least some minimal knowledge of business finance.

2.

To introduce to basic financial concepts such as the time value of money, asset valuation, and risk and return.

It is expected that by the end of the class you have a basic grasp of finance principles and that you go beyond just
memorizing a number of facts and formulas. Doing so will enable you to better understand current events in
Finance and will provide a solid framework for any subsequent courses you may take in Finance. Hopefully, by the
end of the semester you will want to take additional classes in Finance!

Class procedures
1.

The structure of this class makes your individual study and preparation outside class extremely important. The
lecture material will focus on the major points introduced in the text. Reading the assigned chapters and having
some familiarity with them before class will greatly assist your understanding of the lecture. After the lecture,
you should study your notes and work relevant problems from the end of the chapter and sample exam
questions.

2.

Throughout the semester we will also have a number of review sessions. These review sessions will take place
during the regularly scheduled class periods. You will find that the review sessions are much more helpful if
you keep up with the assigned reading, and make an effort to work the relevant problems.

3.

There are a number of learning aids offered in addition to the regularly scheduled lectures and review sessions.
You should utilize those that may contribute to your understanding of the material.You may think that your

trouble with at least some of it.
