FIRST ASSIGNMENT: The syllabus is in the course packet. Alternatively, you can get a copy off the web page (see below). Lecture outlines also are in the course packet and on the web page. I recommend that you bring lecture outlines to class. In the first class, I will provide you with an overview of the course. We will also discuss what is meant by market efficiency, and why this matters – or does not matter – to firms’ financial decision makers. To prepare for the first class, you should read Chapter 13 of Brealey and Myers Principles of Corporate Finance. Also read "Warren Buffet on Efficient Markets". This article is included in your case packet. You should also remember to bring your name plate to the first and subsequent classes. The web page will be used as the primary mechanism for transferring documents. Lecture outlines, problem sets, problem set solutions, and previous exams will all be made available on the web page. In addition, files that you will need to complete cases and problem sets will reside on the web page. To read these files, you must have Adobe’s Acrobat Reader. If you do not already have this software installed on your machine, click on the Adobe hypertext. You will be transferred to Adobe’s homepage where you will be able to download the software free of charge. The address of the course web page is: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/sapienza/ftp/d41/Chicago/index2.htm

Articles and cases will not be available on the web page – they are included in the course packet.
