Content Orientation in the Introductory Finance Course

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

At the beginning perhaps it would be appropriate to say that three assumptions have been made throughout the entire discussion. They include:

1. An assumption that there are approximately 45 classroom hours available to the instructor,

2. An assumption that for many students it is the only finance course they will take,

3. An assumption that the course is oriented toward business finance, and not, for instance, capital markets, or money and banking.
