BBOA3010 covers a wide array of topics in corporate finance to enable a wider perspective on the subject matter and is designed to be able to customized to individual learning process. BBOa3010 is a hybrid course consisting of videos and physical lectures. The videos cover theoretical explanations to facilitate reading the chapters in the textbook and are available a week in advance. Students read the materials in the textbook at own pace with the assistance from the videos and attempt various end-of-chapter tasks from the textbook. Students feed in if there is(are) any particular task(s) that they wanted to have gone through together in the physical lecture. The lectures focus on further explanation on certain key concepts/theories/tasks. In short, the course is designed to provide students with a flexible learning experience through studying at own pace with the support of online resources and then engage in interactive discussions/clarification during the physical lectures. A regular weekly personal study plan or following closely the study plan designed for the course is essential to stay on course.The course is assessed through one mid-term assignment that needs to have passed and one digital school examination that counts 100% towards the final grade. The course has run smoothly with engaged students.The course covers the learning outcomes well.The grade distribution is as anticipated.

However, a regular weekly personal study plan or following closely the study plan designed for the course is essential to stay on course.

It can be supplemented with group learning if so wished, for example in undertaking the compulsory assignment (i.e., mid-semester assessment).

Students' feedback during the semester as well as the reference group reports suggest that the course is considered to be of high quality.

Learning outcomes are updated annually to reflect the field.The descriptions of the learning outcomes are accessible on the course website on Blackboard in addition to the NTNU website.This course builds on the finance course given in the second year of bachelor in Business and Administration at NTNU Business School.

Learning activities involve lectures, compulsory assignment, and voluntary tasks, besides individual/group learning. A combination of compulsory and voluntary tasks enable students to pursue the subject themselves to the extent they desire. Autumn of 2020 was different from a 'usual' semester with online videos supplementing physical meetings. Also new in the semester was McGraw Hill Connect where additional online tasks were made available. Future use of Connect needs further reconsiderations. With feedback from the students and the reference group, I'll consider allocating more time towards working examples in physical meetings.

Compulsory assignment and the examination addressed the learning outcomes.

Supporting material allowed on exams: Language dictionary and Approved calculator regarding NTNUs support material code B-D "specific basic calculator". Other calculators that are allowed in the course are: Casio FC-100V and Texas Instruments - BAII Plus.
