The instructor expects students to know Excel basics already; students will learn how to do Finance problems in Excel. If students are good at Excel, they can do the assignment early also. EXAMS There will be two exams during the semester and one final exam. The majority of each exam will be problems; there will also be a few short discussion questions and a few multiple choice questions. Students should have a financial calculator for each exam.
