Gestão Financeira II (2 º Sem 2019/2020)

Dear Students,

I think we all agree that we are facing tough and uncertain instances. Consequently, my first thought goes for yourselves and your families: I hope and wish all of you remain fit and healthy.

Giving the extreme measures that were duly taken at the University, we will need to adapt and adjust to a new reality. New and untested solutions will need to be implemented in our course. Consequently, there is a significant chance, that given the lack of preparation for a situation that is such an extreme outlier, some of the procedures that are going to be implemented will not allow us to reach results that are as good as we would like to achieve. Anyway, we will try to adapt as best as we can. I hope you will understand the extreme circumstances and try to help and adapt in order that in the end you will get the technical and scientific content that we were aiming at, when the course started, a few weeks ago.

Given the circumstances, we are not sure that the arrangements for the course will not need to be changed in the future. However, rules and procedures need to be defined straightaway, for all of us to stand a reasonable chance of reaching our goals. Consequently, I would like you to take into consideration the following:

1.      Lectures (Aulas Teóricas):

For the moment, Lectures will take place with the same schedule as previously defined (I am considering other alternatives, but I do not know yet if they are technically feasible), using Microsoft Teams sessions.

Please download the software and, at scheduled times, join the sessions, using your ISEG e-mail adress and password.

2.      Tutorials (Aulas Práticas):

Tutorials will take place with the same schedule as previously defined, using Microsoft Teams sessions.

3.      Assessments and grading:

Until different notice, all the assessments previously defined will be kept with the same weights and probably a different structure, since personal interactions are not expected to take place soon.

Wishing you all the best,

José Azevedo Pereira

Professor Catedrático do ISEG
