numerous firms/stocks and do various calculations relating to exchange rates. For their exam grade, students are going to create a business, plan its future, and present it to the class. Students who get an overall grade of 85 or more will be awarded with "Outstanding Success Certificate" and students who get an overall grade between 75 and 85 will be awarded with "Success Certificate". A selected few of the most successful students in this course will be offered a position as the professor's assistant in the next course. Those students who have completed their duty as assistants get a recommendation letter from the professor. Having completed this course as an "outstandingly successful" student and as an assistant, here is my advice for this course: you get full marks on homework if you at least tried to solve it, regardless of the correctness of your answer. However, you need to spend some serious time on the final project and your calculations/reasoning should be accurate if you are planning to be an assistant in the future. Here is the course description written by the professor of this course;

Dersin hocası olan Prof. Dr. AyÅŸe Hümeyra Bilge’nin sözleriyle dersin içeriÄŸi: “Günümüzde finans piyasaları hemen herkesin eriÅŸimine açıldı ve kullanım kolaylıkları geldi. Çok derin bir finans bilgisine sahip olmadan da iÅŸlem yapmak artık mümkün. Bu durum da risk almayı seven yatırımcıların ilgisini çekiyor. Ancak beklenmedik zararlardan korunmak için finans piyasalarının risklerini tanımak gerekiyor. Finans piyasaları tanımı gereÄŸi büyük ölçüde belirsizlik. Bu belirsizlik içinde piyasanın yönü bir
miktar tahmin edilebilir ve yatırımlar buna göre yönlendirilebilir. Ama kayıpları önlemenin en iyi yöntemi, riski ölçmek ve kontrol altına almak için portföy çeÅŸitlemektir. Bu aÅŸamada finansal modellerden hareketle matematiksel prensipler kullanılıyor ve risk yönetimi araçları tanımlanıyor. Finans MühendisliÄŸi dersinde, temel finans bilgisi verilecek ve risk yönetimi uygulamaları yapılacaktır.”
