Grading Policy: Late mini-cases are not accepted

Mini-Cases (2)	60% (Each case is 30%)
Final Exam	40%

Mini-cases are due in class on the assigned date at the beginning of class. Students are not allowed to email their cases to me (I've had several emailed projects in the past that have contained malicious viruses that eluded both my McAfee and Norton Anti-Virus software). The Case Projects are an individual effort.  Rationale: Employers frequently ask students to submit an example(s) of a project done solely by them which demonstrates their analytical ability, their proficiency at financial modeling, and their  effectiveness at written communication. My intent is to provide students with a portfolio of their own work which they can use in the job interview process e.g. submit it to potential employers along with their resumes and cover letters.

Grade Distribution: Grading is based on the class curve

Computers and Calculators: Students should have an elementary understanding of how to use Excel. We will also go through how to use Excel in class.
