    Collection of Study Packs for Real Life Practice of Finance Theories

    Abstract

    Finance is an interesting and practical subject. Lots of finance theories are well applied in the financial market. This project is to develop study packs to let students have the opportunities to apply their theoretical knowledge into some real life case studies with the market data. We believe that the best way to raise students’ interests in learning finance theories is to let them learn how to apply the theoretical knowledge into practice.
