Three hours, three lectures a week for one semester. The catalog describes principles of finance with application to all aspects of the business firm, with particular attention to cost of capital, investment decisions, management of assets, and procurement of funds.
Credit or registration for Accounting 312 or 312H, and Statistics 301 or 301H. The course is restricted to students in the McCombs School of Business.
The catalog says only one of Finance 320F, 357, or 357H may be counted. Check your degree plan for which one applies.
Cost of capital and investment decisions sit on discounting. These guides cover it, and the WACC calculator lets you test a financing mix.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Cost of capital, investment decisions, asset management, and raising funds are the catalog's four headline topics. They link: how a firm raises money sets its cost, which sets what projects clear the bar. We draw that chain so each topic has a reason.
Because Accounting 312 and Statistics 301 can run at the same time, you may meet finance ideas before the supporting courses explain them. We fill those gaps as they come up.
The catalog says the course is not repeatable for credit, which raises the stakes on a first attempt. We find the gaps early.
FIN 357 is listed as required in McCombs BBA degree plans, and it's restricted to McCombs students. Your degree plan shows how it applies to your major.
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.
I’m Chi Odogwu. I have a B.S. in Business with a finance specialization from Liberty University, earned summa cum laude in three years, and a Master’s in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis. I tutored IB students in grad school, did valuation and private equity consulting at PwC, taught MBA finance at Florida State, and spent three years as an adjunct professor teaching Business Finance.
The catalog restricts it to students in the McCombs School of Business.
Credit or registration for Accounting 312 or 312H, and Statistics 301 or 301H.
No. The catalog says only one of them may be counted.
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
