Unit Information

This unit examines how various statistical techniques can be applied to assist in reaching optimal financial decisions. Appropriate aspects of probability theory, regression, time series and simulation analyses are covered. Practical rather than theoretical aspects through financial modelling applications such as those employed in portfolio and risk management are emphasized throughout.

Lecture Capture System

In accordance with UWA’s policy on lecture capture all lectures* in enabled venues will be recorded and made available to stream and download by enrolled students via the Lecture Capture System (LCS) for the duration of the unit (including Supplementary and Deferred Examinations period).

* Please note that in some limited circumstances lectures may not be recorded due to: ethical and/or security related issues; the use of commercially sensitive material; the use of third-party copyright teaching material; or culturally sensitive content. Students will be advised, in advance, when this applies.

Learning And Teaching Strategy

The teaching and learning approach to this unit is a student-centred blended model, involving pre-reading, online lecture delivery, videos, and lab activities. Lecture content focuses on advanced materials. There are a group assignment and an individual assignment designed to build students’ financial modelling skills in Excel and Python. Hands-on activities accompanied with guides are used for the unit. Students are strongly encouraged to practice on their laptops during online seminars.

Teaching and Learning Evaluation

You may be asked to complete two evaluations during this unit: The Student Perception of Teaching (SPOT) and the Students’ Unit Reflective Feedback (SURF). The SPOT is optional and is an evaluation of the lecturer and the unit. The SURF is completed online and is a university wide survey and deals only with the unit. You will receive an email inviting you to complete the SURF when it is activated. We encourage you to complete the forms as your feedback is extremely important and can be used to make changes to the unit or lecturing style when appropriate.
