FIRST ASSIGNMENT: First class is not mandatory but recommended; There is no case due on the first day of class.  After going over the class structure, I will do a short lecture (as time permits).  Class participation will count.  Visit Financial Decisions web page, especially reading the sections concerning the texts. No other first assignment is due.
Attendance at the first meeting is very important.  (Being absent is not recommended, but will not result in being dropped from the class list).  We will be setting up groups, going over how the class will work, and the first case write-up is due at the second class session.
