Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
This course presents the basic theory and practical applications
of methods of investment analysis (capital budgeting), some basic
principles of financial accounting and performance measurements.
The course introduces theories and methods of risk management with
a discussion of how to apply the methods in practice. It also
covers discussions on empirical material related to the functions
of financial markets and the financing of the firm. The
presentation of case studies covers financing of ships and shipping
companies.
|
Description of the teaching methods |
The course is very interactive and will combine
lectures, discussions, group work and case presentations.
Participants are requested to read the compulsory reading
identified in the programme. Overall the teaching format relies
heavily on the integration of real issues from participants and
other companies. |
Feedback during the teaching period |
The feedback
Feedback is given to the student together with the grade when
written and oral exams have been evaluated.
The evaluation
At the evaluation unit at CBS’s Economic & Analysis department
we ask you to evaluate the overall course. In other words if there
has been exercise classes and lectures the evaluation should
include both. We evaluate every course and faculty to secure and
strengthen the professional level of the offered course. |
