Personal Finance Course Rationale/Overview

The goal of Personal Finance is to help students to become financially responsible, conscientious members of society. To reach that end, this course develops students understanding and skills in such areas as money management, budgeting, financial goal attainment, the wise use of credit, insurance, investments, and consumer rights and responsibilities.

This course will give students the tools and resources needed to make wise financial decisions. Students will analyze their personal financial decisions, evaluate the costs and benefits of their decisions, recognize their rights and responsibilities as consumers, and apply the knowledge learned to financial situations encountered later in life.

Personal Finance Course Description

Personal Finance is a one-semester course designed to help students understand the impact of individual choices on occupational goals and future earnings potential. Students will experience real world scenarios and use strategies covered in the course to help them make sound financial decisions. Students will design personal and household budgets; simulate use of checking and saving accounts; demonstrate knowledge of finance, debt, and credit management; evaluate and understand insurance and taxes. This course will provide a foundational understanding for making informed personal financial decisions.

COURSE RULES AND PROCEDURES

Class Attendance: Students are expected to attend classes regularly, be punctual, and complete all work whether present or not. Whenever possible, the opportunity for making up class-work missed as a result of an excused absence is to be worked out between the teacher and the student upon the student's initiative.

Academic Honesty: Academic honesty will be strictly enforced.

Class Participation: Each student must actively participate in class discussions in order to earn his/her "class participation" grade. It is not enough to come to class and just sit and listen to the teacher or other students. You will not earn class participation grade that way. Sometimes, I will call on students to answer questions and discuss class materials. I will try my best to encourage everyone to participate in class, and contribute to the learning experience.
