This is a compressed corporate finance class, but I will try to cover the entire subject matter in 3 days. I know that this sounds intimidating, especially if you have never taken a corporate finance class before. However, trust me, it is doable. In fact, read this before you go on.
Before you begin
- Syllabus for the class
- Pre-reading on tools you need for finance (if you feel you need to get up to speed)
- Lecture Note packet
- Webcasts of classes
