TEST 3 REVIEW

As promised, this course has a final project associated with finance. This project is described in detail in the back of your textbook: p. AM-4 to AM-11, and in even more detail on the handout. Here are some Tips for the Finance Project. This overall project is worth 100 points, and is due on Monday, November 30th.

The Up-to-date Syllabus
Please note that the syllabus below is subject to change and more will be added as we go along. Here are some more pointers about this syllabus.
Daily Quizzes are not listed. Expect one every day!
RBC: "Read Before Class." These pages are the ones you should read before you set foot into the classroom that day!
DAC: "Do after Class." These problems are the ones you should work on from the chapter as soon as possible once class has finished! Not all of these problems will be collected, but some of them will be, plus some of them will be on Daily Quizzes, and some of them will appear on tests!
Due: These are the problems collected on that day. These problems are the ones that need to be neatly written up and are due at the very beginning of the period. Be sure your work is clearly written, stapled, and turned in at the start of class. If you have included problems that are not due with your problems that are due, please highlight or indicate clearly the problems that are actually due.
