I will post videos to this page throughout the semester. The videos will mostly be solutions to homework or in-class Excel exercises; the videos are not a replacement for my lectures. Videos should not be used in lieu of coming to class. Excel can be difficult to learn therefore I make these videos in case you get lost in class and need to revisit a topic. Please use them as an additional resource to help learn valuation and modeling. Disclaimer: Values may be different depending on when video was made and when you are watching.
