11/16/2006 7:57:13 PM

so yall have 3 exams right?

we have one big ass final thats like 90 percent i think

i got his course book but its all shit like just the plans to get a million dollars by age whatever

what do u think of the class?

11/16/2006 8:00:11 PM

yea the material isn't that hard but i'm not doing as well as i should be just cause that course pack kinda sucks in terms of taking notes

11/16/2006 8:29:18 PM

I took it distance ed a few years ago. I never watched the last third of the videos and still made an A because everyone else did so horribly. Maybe it'll be the same for you.

11/17/2006 12:24:21 AM

i mean honestly i dont really know what to expect with the final

11/17/2006 1:00:51 AM

All I really remember is wondering what the hell HO3 (insurance) was and thinking that the test couldn't get any longer...but I had also JUST made it out of another final 10 minutes earlier. (The 225 final was moved at the last minute or something to some stupid time. The two finals overlapped by an hour. If I only knew then what I know now... )

does he still assign those "study guides" where you have to write a paragraph on a list of topics? If so, just do those really well and that should help you a lot.

11/17/2006 11:17:19 AM

exam 1 is pages 1-111 in the coursepack thing

11/27/2006 12:47:52 AM

No.

This should not take too long for you to complete. This is for this semester only, and it should help boost your grade. I am reducing the exam weight by 5% in lieu of this project so that the final breakout will be as follows: 5% project 10% essays 75% exam I think this will help spread the weight of the final a bit more. Here's the project: Find three (3) NEGATIVE articles via academic databases or internet search engines regarding mutual funds. Specifically, articles that discuss one or more of three critical issues related to mutual funds - expenses, costs, and taxes. The article should not be about after-hours trading for mutual funds. Sources for the articles may include magazines, newspapers, internet news sites, academic journals, and governmental agencies or universities. Print or copy the 3 articles and mail them to John Huggard with your name, class (BUS 225 or 425), and student ID # on the top left-hand corner of each of the three printouts. Mail the articles to the following address: John Huggard NC State University Box 7229 Raleigh, NC 27695 Failure to complete this assignment will result in a 5 point reduction of your final grade. You must mail this assignment such that it arrives at the address above by December 6, 2006. Thank you, Arman"

Coursepack p 35 did have something - DGP = Lack of discipline under characteristices of people who do not attain financial security vs. people who do.

12/11/2006 11:59:08 PM

What's wealth building rule # 7? Seems like it jumps from 6 go 8.

12/12/2006 3:17:51 AM

i'd assume number 8 is supposed to be number 7

there are a few other things in the course pack i've noticed either labeled wrong or on the wrong page...for example, estate planning starts on page like 364, but in the table of contents it says 352

12/12/2006 3:38:01 AM

Exam tonight has been moved to Nelson 3400

12/12/2006 11:54:19 AM

damn...thanks, i just checked about 30 minutes ago to see what room it was too.....

only 2 essay questions i got left are on the third set...number 6 and number 13

13 seems like one of those ones i could bs, but i'm thinking he has 5 particular ones he wants us to list and i couldnt find it

6 is which about the stock selection that we liked the best...i remember watching a video on it, but after watching each dvd 3 times i couldnt find it

any help would definitely be appreciated

DGP = deferred gratification principle; the ability to put off immediate pleasure in return for future reward

12/12/2006 7:47:39 PM

Yeah, the test was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm glad it's over.

12/14/2006 4:55:11 AM
