What BUSI 606 covers
Valdez and Molyneux's An Introduction to Global Financial Markets is read in four blocks, chapters 1 to 6, 7 to 10, 11 to 15 and 16 to 17, each in the first week of a two-week forum cycle, with the second week reserved for review and replies.
Each forum has three parts graded together for 125 points: a key topic submission, a thread of at least 500 words citing five scholarly articles published within the last five years and replies to at least two classmates. The Annotated Bibliography in Module/Week 5 prepares the sources for the Thematic Literature Review in Module/Week 8.
This course provides an overview of international financial markets and how they operate and interrelate. The structure, characteristics, and issues for markets in the Americas, Europe, Africa/Middle East, and Asia/Pacific will be identified.

Where BUSI 606 papers lose points
BUSI 606 work loses points when a thread cites articles older than five years or fewer than five of them, when replies repeat a classmate's sources instead of adding research, when annotations restate abstracts, when the faith essay adds verses without connecting them to a course topic and when the literature review summarizes sources one by one.
