Important Annoucements!

ATTENTION ALL REAE 3325 ONLINE 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).
Your primary information sources for this course will be your (1) text book, (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. 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 Marlene Tanner, Department of Finance and Real Estate, Room 424 COBA, Box 19449, Arlington TX 76019-0449. Click here to down load a pdf of the TVM Prior Completion Form.

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 Help Desk in person at the first floor of the Main Library (the best way if you are on campus).

FOUR SATURDAY EXAMS WILL BE HELD ON CAMPUS! See syllabus for examination dates and times.
