Teaching Notes

I have been quite busy this semester with class preparation. It's amazing how much more work it is the first time you teach something new. I'm enjoying the personal finance course (FINM1401) . I had lots of fun writing up the assignment -- a case study featuring a young professional with the types of financial problems/goals that students might have 4 to 5 years after graduating. Between the two classes I have over 700 students, so answering email can be time consuming. I try to train them to use the online discussion board so everyone can see the question and answer -- usually there are several with the same question.
