Class Stats
Goal:
The purpose of today's lab is to generate some statistics on our class.
- "Sell" your stock:
Go to
finance.yahoo.com,
and enter your symbol.
- What is your Bid price?
(Ignore the "x 100" or similar part of the Bid price -
you want the price per share that comes before this).
If you don't see a Bid
price then take the Last Trade price and subtract .125 from it.
- What is your Commission Fee?
Nasdaq (4 letter name): 19.95
Other: 1, 2 or 3 letter name: 14.95
- Gain or Loss:
Compute
Bid price x 100 - commission fee - money you spent to purchase the stock.
SHOW WORK!
- On the front board, mark off
whether you gained or lossed money
by adding them to the relevant gain/loss columns.
- Calculating Participation and Your Class Average:
So that you can understand how your participation grade will be calculated,
note that the average participation grade from last semester was 12/15
A perfect 15/15 means perfect attendance, turning in all the
non-graded homework, being prepared for class,
actively participating in class discussions in meaningful ways,
completing calculations and activities,
taking at least one try of each ASULearn activity, utilizing office
hours and explaining the material to others.
We use these criteria from the syllabus
[for many people in the class this grade who have not had too many
absences or missed homework, this grade will be 12].
-
Group Work: On ASULearn message me
feedback on the effectiveness of any group work [if you feel you
deserve the same grades as your partners, just say so. If not, please explain
why you feel you
deserve a higher or lower grade and specify which project(s) this
applies to and the name(s) of your partner(s).
