Now that you have reached this stage in your university studies, there will be an increased emphasis on independent learning. You are expected to complete the required readings without detailed coverage in lectures. You are expected to regularly read the financial press. If you have any deficiencies in the prerequisite levels of knowledge or skills, then you are expected to correct them on your own. When you are proficient at independently acquiring investment knowledge and skills, it will continue to work for you long after you have finished your degree.
