Teaching Philosophy:
1) learning can be fun 2) theories are taught to be applied in real life 3) the best way to learn is to try
Mode of communication:
I respond very well to emails as long as you follow the following instructions: o All e-mails must originate from Blackboard email using the following title format: FIN425-section Name-Subject
(e.g., FIN425-01 Hesham Merdad-question on homework # 3). o As a general rule, if I don’t reply to your email in two days, I did not receive it. In that case you need to re-send the e-mail again. o Blackboard is an official communication platform. It is your responsibility to watch for announcements and emails on a daily basis.
