, Lecture Suggestions
Chapter 1 covers some important concepts and discussing them in class can be interesting. However,
students can read the chapter on their own, so it can be assigned but not covered in class.
We spend the first day going over the syllabus and discussing grading and other mechanics relating
to the course. To the extent that time permits, we talk about the topics that will be covered in the course
and the structure of the book. We also briefly discuss the fact that it is assumed that managers try to
maximize stock prices, but that they may have other goals, hence that it is useful to tie executive
compensation to stockholder-oriented performance measures. If time permits, we think it’s worthwhile to
spend at least a full day on the chapter. If not, we ask students to read it on their own, and to keep them
honest, we ask one or two questions about the material on the first exam.
One point we emphasize in the first class is that students should print a copy of the PowerPoint
slides for each chapter covered and purchase a financial calculator immediately and bring both to class
regularly. We also put copies of the various versions of our “Brief Calculator Manual,” which in about 12
pages explains how to use the most popular calculators, in the copy center. Students will need to learn
how to use their calculators before time value of money concepts are covered in Chapter 5. It is important
for students to grasp these concepts early as many of the remaining chapters build on the TVM concepts.
We are often asked what calculator students should buy. If they already have a financial calculator
that can find IRRs, we tell them that it will do, but if they do not have one, we recommend either the
HP-10BII+ or 17BII+. Please see the “Lecture Suggestions” for Chapter 5 for more on calculators.
