Assessment

It is not expected to acquire the knowledge gained since the seminar is only attended by the seminar (which is registered by signing the seminar signature at the end of the seminar), and the teacher directly proceeds to the seminar's verbalization.

Alternatively, students who do not want or can not attend the seminar can support, during ordinary exams, an application test on financial functions in Excel. This semi-structured test examines and verifies the applied knowledge of the use of financial functions of the Excel Spreadsheet in business applica- tion relating to finance, and in particular the assessment of the convenience of alternative investment or financing operations, cost or of the actual return on financial transactions, or in the computerized formulation of loan amortization plans according to the French method. Exceeding the test is obtained by building a minimal software template in Excel environment on the application that is required.
