課程要求
Our grade is simple: a midterm exam (35~45%), presentations (25~35%), pop quiz (5~10%), and Participation (5~10%). For midterm exam, it is a closed-book exam. We discs format of the questions in each course. Next, grading presentation is uneasy and even tricky because it is a relative concept.Some presentations are extremely good and some are relatively weak. Even it is a group presentation, each member in the group needs to present his work around ten minutes. You get your personal score and group score. There is no chance for free riders. My experience is that students typically underestimate its importance and overestimate the score they will get. Thus, I stress that it is a relatively concept. Even though you think your presentation is extremely good, you may not get A+++ because theirs is even better. After the presentation, you need to hand one power point and one term paper. Third, pop quiz is very easy. In the class, I will ask you a very short question which is just discussed during my lecture. It is an open-book test and is designed to help you to grasp the materials immediately. In fact, it is the bonus of attending the class. You should get full score of it. Finally, we can never downgrade the importance of the class participation. It will account for 5~10% of your grade. Most of the time, everyone obtain 85% of it because I cannot tell your from others’ participation. However, if you constantly discuss with me in the class (with smiling face), your score will immediately rise up to 99%. While we all know that it is subjective, the subjective evaluation happens in our daily life. Thus, let us not pretend that it does not exit. Also, let us practice it before we go to the real world.

Each week, I will put the next week’s materials in the website. If nothing is paraticulary happened, we will follow the syllabus. Because there are many current important events related to financial institutions, sometimes, we will discuss the current event.
