Topics covered include an overview of the money and banking system, interest rates, the time value of money, asset valuation, financial information, financial analysis and decision-making, and the institutional structure of securities markets. Prerequisites: Completion of pre-business requirements, including ACCT 2010 and ACCT 2020 or equivalent courses (completed with grades of “C” or better), or consent of the department. Required Textbook: Foundations of Finance by Keown, Martin, and Petty; 9th edition; Pearson. Note: For each chapter, I will post practice problems that are intended to supplement the textbook. To thoroughly understand the basic financial concepts, you are required to read each chapter before coming to the class. Required Calculator: Texas Instruments BA II Plus is highly recommended and is the only calculator that I will use for in-class problems. However, if you choose to use another type of financial calculator, please make sure that it is able to calculate time value of money problems and you can operate it comfortably. Email Policy: If I need to contact you to convey class-related information, in keeping with University policy, I ONLY will use your official UNT email address. Thus, it is YOUR responsibility to check your UNT email on a regular basis. I will NOT reply unofficial emails sent from personal accounts such as Yahoo, Gmail etc. If you send an email to me, please only use your official UNT email account and do the following: (1) use the phrase "FINA 3770" in the subject heading; (2) make sure your FULL NAME also appears in the subject; (3) sign your email using your full name. Also, any communication regarding grades must be through official UNT email accounts or in person (university policy). Canvas: Canvas will be utilized to communicate important announcements, distribute class material, and post exam grades. You can download and print out class notes by yourself. Please be in the habit of regularly checking Canvas for class information. Canvas can be accessed at canvas.unt.eduPage 2 of 6 Tutoring: The Department of Finance maintains a FREE tutoring lab to assist you with your finance courses. The finance lab is located in BLB 006. You may find supplementary materials in the finance lab that can help you to master the topics covered in this class. Additionally, copies of the textbook are available to use in the lab. For a lab schedule, please refer to http://www.cob.unt.edu/lab/tutor.php or contact the lab at [email protected]. Acceptable Student Behavior: Student behavior that interferes with an instructor's ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the instructor may refer the student to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to consider whether the student's conduct violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for student conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. The Code of Student Conduct can be found at http://www.unt.edu/csrr. Electronic Devices: The use of laptops, cell phones, or any other electronic devices (except for a calculator) is prohibited during class as they distract you and your classmates. If any of your classmates distract you during class by using electronic devices, please email me and I will rectify the situation. Lectures and Class Attendance: Class lectures will closely follow the textbook; however, I may alter the material in order to focus on key topics and concepts. The lectures may consist of material and calculation techniques that are not covered in the textbook. Therefore, consistent class attendance is extremely important to be successful in this class. Class attendance is mandatory. I may take attendance throughout the semester. You are expected to arrive on time and stay until the end of class. If you must miss class, please obtain the notes from a classmate and download the lecture slides from Canvas. You will be responsible for all of the material covered in class as well as any in-class announcements. The university policy regarding attendance can be found at: http://policy.unt.edu/policy-manual. Exams: There will be one midterm and one final exam. Each exam covers materials for the related chapters. Each student is also required to write a semester essay. The instruction of how to write the essay will be provided. All tests are True/False or multiple-choice questions. Please bring a calculator and a #2 pencil. I will provide the Scantron. A financial calculator and a one-page (front and back) reference sheet will be allowed during exams. The size of the reference sheet cannot exceed 8.5X11 inches. You cannot staple or attach pieces of paper together to create your reference sheet. Please note: For multiple choice questions, only what is bubbled on Scantrons will be graded. It is the student’s responsibility to correctly transfer final answers onto Scantrons during exams. Makeup exams are given only if you have a valid university-approved excuse (with appropriate documentation provided) - example: an athlete representing UNT at various games. Under those circumstances, if you let me know ahead of time, I will consider arranging a makeup exam and/or equivalent measures.Page 3 of 6 Below is the schedule for the midterm exams: - Midterm Exam: July 25th - Final Exam: August 8th The deadline for the semester essay is August 6th (Please turn in hard copy during class session) Please note: there is no make-up exam for the final exam.
