Case Studies in Financial Engeneering (1 º Sem 2017/2018)

Dear students,

Following a few additional requests to change the composition of working groups, please find below the final groups composition for both classes, as well as the final schedule for the class S72 (the S92 schedule remained unchanged).

Kind regards,

Dear students,

Following my last post, Group 9 accepted to move to class S92. Therefore, the students previously moved from working groups in class S92 will be allowed to return to their initial groups, as we will have one more group in S92 (and one less in S72).

Therefore, the schedules had been changed: regarding S72, the case discussed by group 7 had to be changed, while in S92 the previous Group 14 was eliminated and replaced by group 9.

Please find below the new schedule and groups' composition. I hope this will be the final version.

Kind regards,

Dear Students,

Given that some of the colleagues in S92 class would like to stay at their initial groups, in order to meet their wishes we need to have more working groups in this class.

Therefore, I would like to inform you that we would welcome group moves from S72 to S92 classes. These moves may be limited to the lectures where these groups have cases assgined, being allowed to stay at their initial class in the remaining lectures.

Additionally, we may also accept the replacement of those students by other students to join new working groups in S92 class.

Please let us know your thoughts on this issue until tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Jorge Barros Luís

Dear Students,

Please find below the schedule for the presentation and discussion of the cases.

I've considered the case preferences that were communicated by some of you, but whenever there were overlaps, I had to assign the case to the group who sent me the mail first.

You can also find below the groups composition. Several changes had to be made, as after my previous announcement we still had students trying to participate in a different class from the original one, which wouldn't allow to have the minimum number of 6 groups in class S92.

Therefore, all students from the class S92 participating in groups belonging to the class S92 had to be moved to their own class and 2 groups in S92 were created with these students.

Given that this change wasn't still enough to have the minimum number of students in these new groups, I reallocated the students with the highest student number in each of the first 3 previously existing groups in to the last group of class S92.

As this was just a criteria among many to reallocate students, I'm available to receive proposals of changes in groups' composition in both classes, as long as we keep the minimum number of 6 groups. These changes may include the merge of groups in class S72.

Kind regards,

Jorge Barros Luís

Dear Students,

The calendar for the presentation and discussion of the case studies hasn't been released, given that we have too many students enrolled in Tuesdays' classes and too few in Thursdays'.

Therefore, the working groups proposed with students from a class that doesn't correspond to the original one will have to be changed until next Friday, the 13th October.

We ask the students to ensure the required changes complying with that deadline. Otherwise, the groups will be changed and the students reallocated by ourselves.

Kind regards,

Jorge Barros Luís
