Investment Capstone Project
The 2006 spring Investment class was quite active. In addition to a traditional learning approach of digesting information from an Investment textbook and PowerPoint presentations, the class was very interactive as well. The class spent a great deal of time in printed and real-time financial press. The class completed a national simulated investment challenge finishing as a class in the top 10 teams nationally. Finally, students selected a publicly-traded company of their choice and completed the following analysis concluding with their buy/sell/hold decision -- the Investment Capstone Project.
