Courses I teach:
In the spirit of open courseware, I offer a great deal of my course material freely to any and all. You can use any of my ideas in your courses without attribution. But if you do use my lecture notes and Powerpoints, do not plagiarize. At least paraphrase things. It is just a bad practice that you would not tolerate from your students.
FIN 4850: Financial Derivatives. Here is the link to the latest syllabus. This is the course on which my book is based, but I do not currently teach it. Hence, the syllabus is a few years old. Here's a link to my book.
FIN 7400: Financial Risk Management. This is an advanced MBA elective course that teaches students how to identify, measure, and manage financial risk within a corporate environment. This course is quite innovative and not likely to be found too many other places. But this is what MBA's need to know, not the financial engineering so typically taught as an MBA elective because the professor thinks it's fun. Here are the links to the latest syllabus and zip files of lecture notes and Powerpoints.
BADM 7090: Financial Management. This course is the core course in finance taken by all of our MBA students (except a few who can opt out due to high grades in a finance undergraduate curriculum.) Here are the links to the latest syllabus and zip files of the Powerpoints. See also The 20 Principles of Financial Management and Financial Management Decisions, a two-page Powerpoint file with diagrams of the flows involved in the investment and financing decisions.
The remainder of my course materials are on the Blackboard web site, which requires enrollment in the course for access, but with the exception of old exams, I would probably send you just anything else.
The following items are called Teaching Notes. These are short technical notes in pdf format. I use them to fill in material not covered or not adequately covered in a specific book I might be using. Every effort has been made to ensure typographical and technical accuracy, but no guarantees are made. If you find any errors, please let me know.
FONT PROBLEMS? Many of these files were created when I used WordPerfect. I then converted them to Word but in some cases, they retained old fonts from WordPerfect. You may have trouble reading some of these due to font difficulties. If you do, please let me know (dchance@lsu.edu) and I will fix it.
These items were written for my MBA introductory course in finance. They are designed to supplement and elaborate on certain material that is not covered adequately in the text. I may add some more from time to time. These notes are distinguished from the ones above by the fact that these are relatively non-technical in comparison to those above.
