...Financial Management: Principles and Applications FIN/370 Aug 01, 2011 What is the capital market? How is the primary market different from the Secondary market? In your opinion, are these markets efficient? Why? The capital market provides investors the data showing the rates on return of investments (ROR) compiled from company portfolios. The capital market is fast paced and typically is the environment where the selling of stock is sold at good prices. For the active investor, the capital market is the shortcut icon if you will, for buying and selling of stock. The primary market is a market by which for the first time, a company offers stock to potential investors. This is the one and only time the company receives cash for its sell of stock. The secondary market is the subsequent market for the trading of stock to the public. It is my opinion that these markets are efficient because they define when a company’s stock is offered for the first time. These markets also provide an environment to predict healthy investing and liquidity of companies. With the assistance of financial managers, investors can review liquidity of companies based on sound information. Also, investors can purchase stock at prices they are comfortable with and contribute to a company sustaining a long business life. What are three primary roles of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)? How does the Sarbanes-Oxley...

...studentNational University of Singapore MW5200 MSC SCIENCE COMMUNICATION PROJECT Project Report Strengthening student engagement in the classroom. Course: Msc (Science Communication) Faculty of Science National University of Singapore Ganeshini D/O Sri kanthan A0075383Y Name: Student ID: Project Supervisor: A/P Helmer Aslaksen ABSTRACT The Ministry of Education (MOE) recognizes the importance of student engagement in the classroom. However, keeping students engaged in the classroom is a challenge for many educators these days. Student engagement is a contested concept, theorized in a variety of different ways within academic literature. This projects aims to define and understand the concept of student engagement. The purpose of this project was also to find out the usage of engagement based approaches in the classroom. The survey results in this project indicate that teachers do use these approaches in the classroom but not frequently enough. Usage of engagement based approaches in the classroom can be increased with changes in attitudes of teachers, sufficient support from schools and changes in modes of assessment. i AKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following people who have helped me in making this Masters Project interesting and a memorable one: Associate Professor Helmer Aslaksen for his guidance and patience. Without his constant assurance and encouragement this would not be possible. Colleagues and friends who contributed...
