This course is designed for 4^th and 5^th-year non-commerce students and introduces them to personal investments.  There are no prerequisites.  It provides the basic and fundamental principles behind personal financial well-being. It presents tools and techniques to analyze the most common investments.  Examples of these are: diversification reduces risk; the best protection is knowledge; all decisions carry a financial consequence; and, Just Do It!

            To invest is to combine arts and science.  Therefore, we explore topics from psychology to economics, mathematics to ethics.  The expression of ideas, both orally and in writing, is as important in investments as it is in any field.  Therefore, students will be required to actively participate in classroom discussions and complete assignments and a group project.
