Business finance has taught me how to manage risk and return as well as making capital investment decisions throughout the semester. Professor Schott has gone through each chapter carefully well making sure that each student grasps each concept before moving on. He has used many tools such as LearnSmart, lectures and homework assignments to make sure that us students have a good idea of the concept before giving us exams. Throughout the course, we have had to do LearnSmart assignments each week over the chapter we are going cover in class. These LearnSmart assignments give us students questions over the assigned chapter. In this course, we have had to do these assignments before we go over the content in class. The class benefits from this …show more content…
Professor Schott goes through the chapters by using a PowerPoint that he has prepared in advance. These lectures reinforce what we 've learned in the LearnSmarts before the class. Each lecture is packed full of valuable concepts and formulas that we put to work in the Connect homework assigned to us each week. Each student in the class pays attention to Professor Schott’s lectures because he goes through practice problems that are similar to the Connect homework. Not only does the lecture help us students with the homework but it also helps us with the exam. Throughout each lecture, Professor Schott helps us students understand the concepts which help us with the conceptual questions on the exams. He also works through the various tables in each chapter which helps when it comes to the exams. Professor Schott has helped the whole class understand business finance with his prepared lectures that are customized to each …show more content…
These Connect assignments are a big part of our class in this course. The Connect assignments make us students use the formulas and knowledge we have learned throughout the LearnSmart assignments. Some questions on the homework are conceptual and are related to the problems in the LearnSmart that we do each week. The Connect homework is based on the techniques we have learned throughout the lectures of the week. Specifically, Professor Schott walks us through practice problems that help us with the homework assignments. Not only are these homework assignments related to the lectures and LearnSmarts but are also key when it comes to doing well on the exams. If a student does not do the homework, they will not do well when it comes to the exams plain and simple. These assignments give us multiple problems that are usually on the exam. If you do the problems assigned in the homework and pay attention to Professor Schott’s practice problems, you will do very well on the exams. To be successful in this class, you must be active in the lectures and do well on the homework
I’m convinced that much learning has occurred in this course, both on your part and on mine. So I’m most interested in your telling me what you have learned, rather than asking questions on this exam that require you to demonstrate your learning. So, look back over the course and compose a page each on what you have learned about each of these course objectives.
I would love to apply the lessons I am learning from the book and the class to every domain that interest me. What feels contradictory to me is that the book shows that to be a successful entrepreneur, one need to think twice and coldly calculate all his/her interaction which is the opposite of what I want to do with my family and the people around me. Going even further, it proves how hard it must to work with friends and/or family
What is the most important concept that you learned in this class? Write this for a reader who is unfamiliar with the concept.
I am not going to lie this class was my hardest it felt like I didn’t know what was going on at all time. It not like I wasn’t learning anything in there is just that I didn’t really get the class at all. Every time went on Capsim to do work I never get anything do because I didn’t know what I was doing. Is not like I didn’t like the class the class I just us doing the Capsim online was hard for some people because they didn’t know what to do. Next semester I think the class should be thought like microeconomic because more people we will it better. Another idea I was thinking was we could do a field trip to some business meetings even though I know students in college don’t do feel trip. The feel trip will give us an ideal of what a real
The second lesson concentrates on the importance of financial literacy. There is one rule to follow so as to understand financial literacy – “Know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy more assets.” In order to do this, you need to be able to understand and comprehend numbers instead of jus...
M: Meet the teacher: This group of students will be taught specific skills that will help them meet the objective of the lesson.
Breaking down tasks into smaller, easier steps can be an effective way to teach a classroom of students with a variety of skills and needs. In breaking down the learning process, it allows students to learn at equal pace. This technique can also act as a helpful method for the teacher to analyze and understand the varying needs of the students in the classroom. When teaching or introducing a new math lesson, a teacher might first use the most basic aspects of the lesson to begin the teaching process (i.e. teach stu...
Helping students acquire and integrate new knowledge is another important aspect of learning. When students are learning new information, they must be guided in relating new knowledge to what they already know, organizing that information, and then making it part of their long-term memory. When the students acquiring new skills and processes, they must learn a model or the steps, then shape the skill or process to make it efficient and effective for them, and finally, internalize or practice the skill or process so they can perform it easily.
Wow! I have a personal learning style! If I had given any thought to my learning style prior to this course, I would have said simply, “Some things are easy for me to learn, and some things are not.” Now I can say, “I am a grouper, a top-down learner, an owl, in the C-D quadrants, and my strong intelligences are linguistic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal”. What all this means, still, is some things are easy for me to learn, and some things are not. But there I go again, simplifying the matter.
This summer’s course in ‘Business and Society’ was a great opportunity for me to learn more about myself, my perspective of business, the role of government in society, policy makers and most importantly the views of the stakeholders. For the spring semester gone and this summer session almost all classes were tied into my major, giving me a better understanding on what I want out of my degree. My major here at Marymount Manhattan College is Finance and this class has surely helped me in figuring out, the workings of ‘big business’ and its impact on stakeholders. This course has helped me understand why many laws, at one point to me sounded absurd, but are in place to protect both industry and stakeholder. I never thought communication was such a priority in the business world until taking this class. From newly learnt material I see communication as a

Accounting aids the government and organisations in decision making for their financial stability. This numerical data helps solve real life problems and contributes to how the economy and businesses perform.
Personal Finance is a class I’ve wanted to take for a while now. My major is Finance not because I want a career in finance but more to learn about finance for my own personal situation. This class taught me so much! During this class I was able to evaluate my financial situation and set financial goals for myself. The four topics that helped me the most were emergency savings, buying a car, purchasing a home, retirement, and estate planning. After completing this class I have a better understanding of these topics and how to achieve my financial goals.
Components such as these weigh heavily on the understanding and importance of learning to the student. These aspects aid in creating lifelong learners.
The new year begins and Learning Strategies is on your schedule. Truly, you are probably not knowing what to expect and you think that this class is not for you. Boy, are you wrong. This class will save you plenty of time, so you better listen closely. At the end, you will leave the class wondering why no one ever showed me this. So listen up! The three most useful things that I learned in this class are: my learning style, how to take notes when reading a textbook, and how to be a more successful student at college.
