Instructor Manal Essentials Of Investments 12th Edition Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan J. Marcus Chapter1-22
Introduction to the Instructor’s Manual Congratulations! You have thoughtfully selected Essentials of Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus, the superlative textbook for undergraduate finance. Welcome to the Instructor‘s Manual (IM) for the twelfth edition. Its purpose is to help you, the instructor, build an effective approach for preparing students for a career in the investment industry. Though written primarily for newer instructors, veteran professors may benefit by seeing the evolution of the text as well as learning about the new resources offered by Essentials of Investments. McGraw-Hill and the authors are committed to providing up to date information and cuttingedge pedagogical advancements. Recent times have been instructive on the need for versatile and nimble education, with an emphasis on the ability to adapt to a variety of scholastic challenges. Adaptability must never come at the cost of the rigor that has made Essentials of Investments (and its graduate level counterpart, Investments) an essential tome for modern practitioners. This edition retains that level of quality while adding several new technologydriven features on our Connect online learning platform. The three major additions to the Essentials of Investment battery of learnings tools are Digital Faculty Consultants, Integrated Excel, and Application Based Activities; all discussed below. The IM makes extensive reference to the companion PowerPoint (PPT) files. In the PPT, we have chosen to provide high-level information while streamlining many of the slides. This promotes a more seamless quality in presentation delivery and does not over-crowd each slide, a complaint consistently present in student feedback. We have added additional examples to aid in concept digestion. Every chapter has been updated to reflect developments and changes in the field of finance. All data have been updated and sections added that cover new information on topics such as the roots of the financial crisis of 2008, the fallout from the crisis; changes to the hedge fund industry and the rise of financial technology (fintech). Many students request a study guide to prepare for examinations. Saving the PPT as a PDF in the ―Outline‖ view is an easy way to accommodate student demand while maintaining the integrity of the content. You may also wish to consider printing the slide view of the PPT as a PDF and posting the electronic file online for student review.
