Course Description
The basics of Derivative products. How they work and some simple valuations.
Assessment
The course itself was not too difficult. But as with all HKU courses, easier courses give harsher grades. Make sure that you dont make mistakes on midterms, finals (especially fianals as they make up for most of the grades) and you will do fine.
