Welcome to Personal Finance in Early Adulthood

We're so happy you decided to take this course about personal finance. This semester we will focus and reflect on your financial wellness and rules you can live by to achieve and maintain financial wellness for the rest of your life.

This course has always been taught completely online. This is not a self-paced course.  Based on our experience teaching online courses, students benefit from due dates and paced assignments; otherwise, they tend to fall too far behind. As for anything, whatever you put into this course is what you will get out of it.

The course content and material is organized by modules. Modules must be completed sequentially. Once you complete module activities, new, subsequent modules will open. The Module activities and assignments are due Sundays at midnight (11:59PM Central Time).

All modules are designed in two-week increments, except Module 1 (completed during week one). Each module contains: assigned and/or posted readings, videos, discussion prompts, exercises, assessments, and quizzes. Quizzes are open-book, open note and based on the course readings, activities, and content.

The assignments may request personal information about your financial behavior and/or situation. If at anytime you are uncomfortable sharing, please connect us and we can work together to find an alternative. 

The course reading includes a popular press book The Index Card that is required reading material. Other reading materials are free, and downloadable. It is available from the bookstore, Amazon or elsewhere.

We are excited about learning with you this semester, and to explore financial wellness and how to achieve it.

Sincerely,
Mengya
