ØABED4000 Corporate Finance Course description

Praksis i andre semester inneholder 30 dager veiledet praksis

Skikkethetsvurdering

Lærerutdanningsinstitusjoner har ansvar for å vurdere om studenter er skikket for læreryrket. Løpende vurdering foregår gjennom hele studiet og inngår i en helhetlig vurdering av studentens faglige og personlige forutsetninger for å kunne fungere som lærer. For nærmere informasjon, se forskrift om skikkethet i høyere utdanning fastsatt av Kunnskapsdepartementet 30.juni 2006 med hjemmel i lov 1.april 2005 nr. 15 om universitet og høyskoler §4-10 sjette ledd.

Bestått/ikke bestått

I denne praksisperioden vektlegges språk og læring hvor studenten særlig skal arbeide med de grunnleggende ferdighetene skriving, lesing og muntlighet. Dette er nøkkelferdigheter både for studentenes egen læring av fagene på høgskolen og for å kunne utvikle elevenes læring i skolefagene. Mestring av disse ferdighetene legger grunnlag for videre utdanning og arbeidsliv. Temaer og krav til veiledet praksis er spesifisert i vurderingsrapporten. Praksisskolen bør legge til rette for at studentene kan bruke skoledagen også til forberedelser og arbeid knyttet til veiledet praksis.

The course activities will include:

• topics and learning activities that will be covered each week:
  • either at home before the lecture (FLIP) or
  • in the classroom/zoom/streaming (CZS) during the lecture,
• tools/inputs to use (EXCEL)

As a general idea, students will be asked to prepare some theoretical and/or practical material every week. Then, during the lectures (CZS), students are expected to actively participate and to generate discussion in the different learning activities (e.g., practical exercises, case/paper discussion, presentations, and should be prepared to work in teams as part of the learning process. When cases are discussed during lectures or as part of the coursework (CW), students can expect to get a partial solution to the case when the discussion is over.

The teaching is coordinated with ØABED3000. 

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1: Tools, excel templates. The students will take the tools proposed in the classroom and will adapt those tools to different setups in a practical excel exercise. They will build a DCF valuation model.
• Coursework 2: Research Paper Analysis. Students will be asked to make a presentation of a research paper. Students will present the main take-homes to the rest of the class. The presentation will last approximately 15 minutes.
• Coursework 3: Stylized Facts from Research Data. Students will be assigned a Stata database and will be asked to provide stylized facts (e.g., graphs) related to the content of the research paper in Coursework 2. 

Both coursework requirements will be done in groups of 4-5 students. 

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If one or more coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given one opportunity to submit an improved version by the given deadline.

The exam in the course is a supervised exam of 2 hours.

The following aids are permitted:

• Excel
• All handwritten and printed support material
• Calculator (see regulations for the use of calculators in the programme description)

Grade scale A-F

An internal and an external examiner will grade the exam.

A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.

Students who have the subject ØABED3000 Corporate Finance in their bachelor's degree are not allowed to take this course.
