Research Methods in Financial Management 2600-IBP-RMiFM

The final grade is based on attendance, class participation, projects, and the final exam.
1. Attendance and participation – attendance is mandatory and will be monitored throughout the semester:
a. A student who misses more than one class is required to attend office hours and present the material missed due to their absence;
b. A student who is absent from more than four classes must obtain the Dean’s consent for an individual completion of the course;
c. Active and consistent engagement in discussions, teamwork, and exercises during classes is expected.
2. Projects – teamwork is an essential component of the course:
a. Up to three small projects (together worth up to 50% of the final grade). These include short literature reviews using reference management tools, focused analyses of selected topics, and the formulation of research aims and hypotheses based on the reviewed literature;
b. One major project (up to 30% of the final grade). This requires a comprehensive written research report including a literature review, hypotheses development, methodology, conclusions, and policy implications. Students must also prepare an oral presentation and actively participate in the discussion.
3. Final written exam – worth 20% of the final grade. Conducted with the use of databases and statistical software, the exam assesses the ability to run regressions, interpret results, and apply data analysis in practice.
