Dear students,
For your convenience, most class materials (except for the textbook) are available from the course website, located at http://129.62.162.212/fin4366. Since most of the links on this website require user authentication, you can authenticate yourself by using your Bear ID as your username and the last four digits of your social security number as your password.
Although I plan to distribute a paper syllabus on the first day of class, in the meantime you may obtain a copy of the syllabus from the class website by using either of the following addresses: http://129.62.162.212/fin4366/syllabus.asp (HTML version) or http://129.62.162.249/ofod/fall2004/fin4366syllabus.pdf (Adobe Acrobat (PDF) Version). Lecture notes for the entire semester are available in PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file formats. Download whichever version you prefer. These notes can be accessed by clicking on the "Lecture Notes" button on the home page for the class website. I highly recommend that you download and print the lecture notes prior to coming to class, as they will make it much easier for you to follow my lectures. Although the class schedule is subject to change, the lecture notes page effectively serves as a class calendar, since it lists by date the sequencing of course material for the entire semester.
This is the first time that I have used a weblog for the purpose of communicating with my students outside of class. In my view, "blogging" is a better method for doing this than email. If you need to communicate with me via email, send your email to my Baylor address, which is James_Garven@baylor.edu.
Let me know if y'all have any questions. I am looking forward to our first class meeting on Tuesday, August 24.
Sincerely,
Dr. Garven
