1. "Two minute drills". At least once a week, at the end of the lecture, there will be a one-question quiz lasting two minutes. I will count only the top 10 grades. This will constitute 8% of the final grade.

2. At the end of the course, the student will be requested to complete a "Course Survey" form, separate and distinct from any University Evaluation form. This survey helps me in preparing the course for the next time it is offered. For each form returned, 1/n points will be added to the final grade, where "n" represents the number of students enrolled in the course based on the registrar's final class list.

3. The student is permitted and encouraged to tape record lectures for personal study use only.

4. If any student has a particular disability-related need in order to participate in this course, such as special seating, note-taking assistance, use of tape recorders or modified exam conditions, you will need to visit the Disability Resource Office, EN C105A, to arrange for approved accommodations. If you have other information you wish to share with me, such as emergency medical information, or arrangements in case the building has to be evacuated, please tell me as soon as possible.

5. I have developed a phobia: cell phones/pagers/other personal communications devices that go off in class. To maintain good diplomatic relations with me, please turn off all such devices in the classroom. NO EXCEPTIONS UNLESS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY ME.

6. Calculators that are part of a cellphone are not authorized for any exam work.

A. What you may expect from me:

1. A strong grounding in treasury management

2. A willingness to work with you on specific problems you have with the course or scheduling.

3. A sense of excitement about the field of finance.

B. What I expect of you:

1. Come to class prepared by having read the assigned material and done any outside work assigned.

2. If you know that you will miss a class, a call to me would be appreciated

3. If something does not make sense, you will ask me either in class, in office hours or call me at home.

4. A sense of what is going on in the world of business and finance through a daily reading of the Wall St Journal, sections one and three at a minimum.

C. Profile for success or failure. If you go into an exam behind in the reading and not up with the class discussions, you will probably not be successful. If, on the other hand, you have done the reading and been faithful in attendance, you should have no problem with any exam you get from me.
