Money & Capital MarketsGraduate Course BUSN 7215Prof Bassell page 8 of 15Brooklyn College, School of Business, Graduate Program Methodology Textbook: The textbook is required and an important tool used to expose students to importantMoney & Capital Markets concepts and topics. You should read all the chapters in the book,but some chapters will receive greater attention than others during the semester. Case Studies: The application of key Money & Capital Markets concepts will be explored andstudents will be required to analyze case studies. The answers are usually not in the cases or thetextbook. You must use the facts in the case and the concepts in the book to drawconclusions and make recommendations. The case studies are a great learning tool since theywill help improve your understanding of the concepts and strengthen your critical reasoning skills. Thequestions are designed to give you the opportunity to 1) create, 2) evaluate, 3) analyze,4) apply, 5) understand, and 6) remember information regarding Money & Capital Markets. Youmust give a comprehensive explanation using the criteria and components of the relevantconcepts. Your answer must be persuasive and use the course concepts as a basis. Each case studyanalysis should be a minimum of 2,500 words. Each question requires a minimum response of500 words, but there is no maximum number of words. If your posting is less than 500 words youmight receive partial credit. The minimum is not equivalent to a grade of 100% and doing theminimum is not enough to get a grade of 100%. However, it is not just about the number of wordsposted. There are 4 criteria used to evaluate your posting 1) Quantity, 2) Quality,3) Relevance, and 4) Manner. Discussion Boards: Discussion threads will post to the course online via Black Board. Students arerequired to enter the discussion board and post thoughtful comments and questions. Commentsshould demonstrate an understanding of key course concepts, strong critical thinking skills, and apersuasive logic. You must make 4 posts: 1 primary post that answers the questions and 3 secondaryposts regarding the postings of others on our team. “I agree with you” is not a thoughtful comment. Ifyou agree you should explain why and engage others in the discussion. The purpose of the discussionboard is to have a dialogue about the case studies and to have a meaningful interaction. Video Segments: There are several videos posted on BlackBoard. These video cases and lecturesclose the gap between theoretical and practical. Some case studies you will watch and others you willread. My goal is to make the course interactive, helpful in your pursuit of knowledge, and provide youwith tools that will allow you to be successful in your career.
