FIN480.1 Risk Management in Banking

Economic problems in many countries and the aggressive growth targets of banks resulted in financial crises. As a result, reductions in profit margins will be witnessed in the banking industry.

Within risk-return framework, students will be provided information on the relationship between risk, profitability and capital adequacy. Duration analysis, gap analysis and hedging strategies will be provided to students. For SU Finance majors counts as a finance elective (students may only use one non-Whitman course as part of their finance electives). (IF 3215)

FIL380.1 A History of Narrative Film

Since its invention in the late 19th century, cinema has been closely tied to art and society. While its status as a medium of art has often been debated, cinema has from its earliest inception been closely associated with social, cultural, economic, political, and psychological realms both on national and international levels. This class will attempt to give a history of film from its invention to contemporary cinema while the films we will view will give an idea about various episodes of film history. (FTV 5919)
