The objec­tive of this course is to pro­vide you with the knowl­edge and tools to make smart invest­ment deci­sions. You will learn the prin­ci­ples and tech­niques used to ana­lyze secu­ri­ties such as stocks and bonds. In addi­tion, you will learn how to build a glob­al­ly diver­si­fied port­fo­lio. We will out­line the risks to avoid and more impor­tant­ly how to behave when risk man­i­fests itself upon the mar­kets. The focus will be on build­ing your con­fi­dence by teach­ing you how to rely on a sys­tem and not on your emotions.

Syn­chro­nous online learning, eClass

In synchronous online courses, students move through the course material at the same pace as their peers. These courses also provide learners with pre-scheduled online lectures that have the instructor and students interacting at the same time. All components of this type of course are accessible through eClass, the University of Alberta’s eLearning management tool. for­mat details
