Contents and Estimated Time for Pre- and Post- Learning (Preparation and Review)
This seminar targets students who want to learn innovative financial tools to finance young entrepreneurs and start-ups. In this seminar, students will read academic papers and articles on the latest financial tools compared with banks. This requires substantial time to study at home after each session. Also, students need to present selected papers in a team. I suggest students read for at least two hours before and after each session. In total, the students need to spend 60 hours studying outside the class.
Contents of Active Learning
Active learning tools include lectures, academic readings, cases, and assignments. The instructor will provide the necessary materials in the classroom. PowerPoint slides will be given to students before each lecture so they can make the necessary preparations for the upcoming class. Students need to study outside the classroom for about two hours for each lecture to participate actively in the classroom discussion. Finally, students need to attend classes regularly and produce a final report at the end of the seminar. In total, students need to study 60 hours to obtain an excellent grade at this seminar.
