If you are having difficulty grasping the material in this course, do not wait until just before an exam to ask for help; by then it is too late.

You must be considerate to your fellow students. If you have a mobile phone, or any other electronic device that has an audio notification system (sound), turn off the device while in class. Also, please do not leave class in the middle of the lecture; it can be disruptive. Try to understand rather than memorize the material in this course. If you memorize the material, it will be very difficult to work some of the problems and to grasp the usefulness of financial decision making. Keep in mind that understanding the financial concepts is more important than being able to work problemsthat is, understanding what the result of a computation means is more important than the computation. For that reason, most of the questions on the exams will be concept questions that test your understanding of the material
