Dear Students,

I trust this email finds you well, safe, and excited to start together with a web-based teaching format.

Following the COVID-19 contingency plan, below, you can find relevant information for the course of Corporate Finance I:

a) Teams (Microsoft)

We will start classes next Monday in an online format through the Teams platform, an app of Office 365 (free for all ISEG’s Student).

The school already sent you details on how to install the platform. Teams could be accessed through a smartphone or a tablet, and our ‘team’ is already available. You can use the platform to ask all your questions, either in a group message or in a private chat. Check it now!

b) Classes calendar

Classes will run at the scheduled hours.

c) Continuous evaluation system

Quizzes will keep the weight of 20%, although it would be considered the 3 best quizzes out of 4. The weight for Problem Sets to solve in group increased to 20%. The remaining 60% is allocated to the Final Exam - Regular Period, which will cover all chapters of the syllabus. On Aquila, you can find the new version of the syllabus.
