Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials |
While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the
ISBN number available through the course's academic department
where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore
and our online bookstore,
guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link
below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have

Other Information about the Course |
Welcome! I hope you join us for the upcoming semester. My professional background spans well over ten years working in the financial service industry, at companies JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. I have an MBA in Finance and a Master’s degree in Education (certifications in Business and History). My goal is to infuse my professional knowledge, academic background, and teaching experience throughout the course.
By entering the course, you have a goal in mind, which we will discuss as we get to know each other. My goal is to work as a team for everyone in the course to achieve their goals and future success. I never want students to experience stress while taking my courses and I will always be available to ensure your understanding of the material. I look forward to getting to know you.
The expectation for this course is the same as face to face courses. We will spend time for instruction, so you can familiarize yourself with the course content. This would be similar to meeting at a face to face course. There will be assigned readings outside of the course, not considered instruction time, which you will be expected to complete and be prepared for class. A substantial portion of the class will be for online class discussions that would be similar if we were to meet in person. Your time will be spent composing answers to the classroom discussions, reading your classmates posts, and developing responses. Time will also be allocated for tests and quizzes.
