The Corporate finance class
“Corporate finance is the most helpful course I’ve taken, and it works especially well in my internship”, a second-year MBA told me last semester. Indeed, it covers quite a lot financial principles in the practical world, and also includes several cases; one group project and one simulation that help students to have a better command of the fundamental knowledge of corporate finance.
The online homework seems a little bit tough at the beginning, and I got many poor scores at first. This discouraged me a lot, to be honest. However, I do understand the ideas better through completing these assignments.
The group project topic we chose was “IPO analysis—Energy Industry in China”, which aimed to find the best time for a company to have its initial public offering in this specific industry.

In addition to classroom work, I had three distinct internship experiences, all helping me get a step closer to the elusive full time placement.
