Required Textbooks:
You can purchase either the Standard Edition or the Alternate Edition, it does not matter. It is available
at the campus bookstore and Off Campus Books which is located at 581 W Campbell Rd, Richardson.
Their telephone number is 972-907-8398.
Optional Reading: Though not required, students are strongly encouraged to regularly read a business
periodical, I recommend The Wall Street Journal.
Calculator: You will need a calculator which has financial functions. When I do examples in class I
will use a TI-BA II Plus.
Homework and Quizzes: To help develop your understanding of the material, I will recommend some
end-of-chapter problems after each session. No homework submission is required. Rather, I will
occasionally give a quiz based upon these assignments. The lowest grade of your quizzes will be
dropped in computing your final score.
Exams:
o All exams will be multiple-choice, closed book and closed notes. However each student may use
one letter size sheet of paper with notes on it.
o Students are responsible to bring a calculator, scantron (Form No: 882-E) and pencil to each exam.
o There are no make-ups and all scores will count towards your overall evaluation. If you miss a
midterm you must have written documentation of a serious illness from a physician. Since there
are no make-ups additional weight will be put on the final.
o Since many of the ideas we are going to cover build on one another the final will be cumulative,
and you must attend it to receive a passing grade in this class.
o I am very willing to entertain questions you may have regarding grading but will not take these
questions during class. Please submit in writing, within one week, any disputes you have with
specific grades in a well thought-out argument.
