Grades and Examination

Course requirements include:

The final grade for the course will be determined by the following weights:

Case Assignments and Problem Sets 70%
Investment Project Report 30%

Top 80% of the class will get their grades based on class work (as described above). The rest will fail. If the class will perform exceptionally good the 80% cutoff will be reconsidered at the latter date. Please do not come back to me in March saying . My answer is going to be: .   I am willing to give one extra problem set for those who failed. However, I can promise that this problem set is going to be really tough, I do not expect many students to live through it.

Note that the passing grade is highly unlikely if you do not handle investment project report.

Many of the assignments in the course will be completed by groups of students. I expect all students to organize themselves into a group of preferably FOUR or at most FIVE students. Please inform course secretary about the composition of the groups as soon as possible. This group will complete written case assignments, prepare case or investment report presentations. If you wish to organize a separate group for the course investment project (see below), you will need to work out the logistics yourselves.

 

All course requirements must be fulfilled within one twelve month period.

Announcements made during lectures (regarding changes in schedule, course material etc.) are considered common knowledge.
