North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2014

This course is designed to: Obtain an in-depth understanding of some of the main theoretical and research perspectives that have contributed to the literature in finance; & Ability to critically review issues in financial economics and corporate finance respectively. Financial economics topics include: asset pricing models, market efficiency, behavioural finance, trading mechanisms and volatility. Corporate finance topics include: capital structure, signalling models, executive compensation and takeovers. This is a readings-based course in which students will critically review scholarly research articles each week in advance. It will be the responsibility of students to select additional readings for each session. It is suggested that this should be a shared responsibility with students taking turns to choose material and make copies of it available to course lecturers and other class members. Students should distribute this extra reading material one week prior to the session. Students are to come to each session prepared to summarise and comment on what they have read. It is anticipated that a minimum of five - eight hours of preparation time will be required. Class presentations are expected to be comprehensive requiring not only mastery of the arguments but also supported by visual material. Participation marks will be awarded for demonstration of effective reading and understanding the arguments presented.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
