Notes
--------

- Get the textbook if you're someone who learns well from reading, and doesn't have a lot of Excel experience. Otherwise it probably won't be very helpful
- Mac and Windows are both fine, though I don't have much experience on Mac so I won't be as helpful with OS-specific issues
- This class is hard. Those who don't have good technical skills already should prepare to put a lot of work in or consider another course.
- We focus on the modeling process and skills, not as much on the finance, so you need to have a good knowledge of finance first.
- If you don't have any of the required Excel skills, take a look at the resources provided on the syllabus and ask me any questions
- The lab sessions are perhaps the most valuable part of the course because you can get lots of hands on feedback
- I have consistently heard that these are the hardest (and most rewarding) projects in the finance program at UF. Start early and ask questions.
- I would highly encourage those who don't have Python experience to work through some of the resources in the syllabus. This will greatly enhance your learning and allow you to focus on the models rather than struggling with programming basics.
