Students will be exposed to real data from the Colombian Exchange and other international data sets.

The course is delivered through active interaction between the lecturer and students in class sessions. Concepts are presented by the lecturer and where possible, real data is shown to students to apply them to real situations. Short exercises, oral discussions and virtual message boards will be conducted throughout the semester. Some activities will be completed individually and others in groups to enhance workgroup in the classroom. Technical use of concepts will be promoted at all times. The course will stress calculations and interpretation of results, as well as the presentation of action plans depending on the situation. Revising the material before each session is required to achieve the learning outcomes and to enhance the active participation in class.

An applied project will be conducted throughout the semester in groups of 3 students each. Students will select publicly listed companies in the Colombian Stock Exchange from various industries. They will gather data related with each stock as of stock prices, fundamental ratios and news published in the media. The objective is students analyze the selected stock through the techniques learned in class and make recommendations as analysts willing to advice to investors.

This will require the active interaction with other groups in the classroom. Reports will be delivered in specific dates and times according to a framework provided by the lecturer, where applicable. Language should be technical and clear at all times.
