Records about the attendance and activity of students in the classroom, feedback on the progress of students through individual assignments and colloquiums – all of these will provide information necessary for further instruction to students to increase the efficiency of their performance; also the teacher will get an early feedback on the progress of his students and will be more aware in which direction to boost the exercise in certain grammatical parts. Students get familiar with their rights and obligations, as well as with the methods of teaching and the required literature.

The course’s objective is to provide a theoretical framework for considering corporate finance problems and issues and to apply these concepts in practice. I have three primary goals for the course: (1) to give everybody a base level of finance knowledge that an MPA from a top business school should possess, (2) to giveeverybody the ability and confidence to tackle common financial problems in practice, and (3) to provide adequate preparation for future finance classes, especially the advanced corporate and investment classes . In this course, you will enhance your knowledge and understanding of financial management. Through class discussion, informal study groups, and formal group projects you will enhance your communication and collaboration skills. You will learn how managers should organize their financial transactions effectively and with integrity.
