ATTENTION ALL REAE 3325.004 ONLINE SPRING 2009 STUDENTS AND PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOW BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THIS SECTION:

* This is an ONLINE LEARNING SECTION. Students registering for this section should be highly motivated, disciplined, and capable of self-study and independent learning. Also, you should expect to put in 50% to 100% more time into an online class over and above a traditional face-to-face class. If you have any doubts about your motivation, discipline, ability to learn independently, or available time, I highly recommend that you consider taking one of the other five traditional face-to-face section of REAE 3325 (offered mornings, afternoons, and evenings).
* FOUR EXAMS WILL BE HELD ON CAMPUS! See below for examination dates and location (all exams will be held in room 147 Business Building). All exams will be objective style (multiple-choice) questions. Only the final exam is cumulative.
* Your primary information sources for this course will be your (1) textbook, (2) video clips, (3) practice problems, and (4) student blog. In addition, I will have office hours for additional help. Please note that WebCT is used for posting grades only.
* TVM ANNOUNCEMENT: You must complete the Time Value of Money (TVM) Finance Tutorial to receive credit for this course. The TVM Finance Tutorial is a Department requirement of all REAE 3325 and FINA 3313 students. The TVM Finance Tutorial must be purchased at the UTA Bookstore (cost around $12). You need to purchase this from the UTA Bookstore because it comes with an original certification page you must submit with printouts of all sections. If you have already completed the TVM Finance Tutorial in FINA 3313 you DO NOT have to do it a second time. You may submit a TVM Finance Tutorial prior completion sheet to Dr. Hansz, Department of Finance and Real Estate, Room 424 COBA, Box 19449, Arlington TX 76019-0449.
* FINANCIAL CALCULATOR: You will also need a basic financial calculator which can be purchased at the UTA bookstore, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Fry's, and other retail outlets. Most students use a Texas Instruments (TI) or Hewlett Packard (HP) brand calculator.
* VIDEO CLIP VIEWING INFORMATION: You must have a reliable computer, Internet connection, and a recent version of MS Internet Explorer (IE) browser (video clips can be viewed in IE only). For video clip viewing, the Firefox browser will not work. I cannot help you with any technical problems so please look into your available resources before registering for the course. If you have trouble with your computer, Internet connection, or browser, this distance learning format will not be convenient to you. You can reach the University HelpDesk at (817) 272-2208 or e-mail helpdesk@uta.edu. Or, visit the HelpDesk in person at the first floor of the Main Library (the best way if you are on campus).
