Financial Management Final Group Project

Financial Management Final Group Project

GROUP PROJECT HANDOUT

 GROUP FINAL PROJECT 

The project will consist of a presentation and financial analysis of a public company.  It is expected that every group member will contribute equally to the project.  Peer evaluations will be used in order to provide constructive feedback.  The results of this peer-rating will NOT be included in the students’ grades for the final group project.  Grades will be allocated per individual, NOT per group, and will be based up on a curve.

Points will be earned through application of course material to your chosen public company.  Please see the Team Presentation Scoring Criteria spreadsheet.
