FinTech (金融科技) Overview: 7 modules 教你金融科技本質+實力:
TL;DR:
To enroll in the class, do Homework 0 (HW0) first.
Upon finishing HW0, you 1) email 2b@csie.ntu.edu.tw your HW0 result according to the dictated format, and 2) fill out your basic info in the spreadsheet here.
Note: Both 1) and 2) are simultaneously needed and cross-checked. Doing one without the other will disqualify you from joining the course.
Dictated format is strictly enforced. If you don't follow the format specified in HW0, your email will just be deleted.
Then we'll batch process the 1) and 2) in at least 6 open sessions this week below (經過6 sessions 後，若還有剩下的授權碼，將以電資學院優先，因畢竟這是電資學院的課；到最後階段，凡是電資學院學生就給，給光為止): If your HW0 email is deemed correct and your result satisfactory, then we'll email you the 授權碼 and you'll have 3 hours to use it. If we find that you miss the 3-hour deadline, we'll immediately give 授權碼 to those on the waiting list. Again, The 遞補者 will also have only 3 hours to use it. If we find that 遞補者 also miss the 3-hour deadline, the 授權碼 will go back to the pool, waiting for the next open session.
因為學校的加退選只能在一三五的 9am to 隔晨3am, we arrange our open sessions only on 一三五。No 授權碼 hand-out on Tuesdays and Thursdays。
Internet 時代, there are 2 types of over-achievers: 起個大早者 and 趕個晚集者。So we'll have 起個大早 sessions and 趕個晚集 sessions below.
起個大早 session: 2/19's 810-9am in Room 502, NTU CSIE. Students will witness the open session in handing out 授權碼; 我們沒有私相授受授權碼。每個學生我們都檢驗了 HW0。
Say, we allocate N 授權碼 for this session. We'll select the first N students who finished HW0 and the next N students as 遞補者。The 遞補者 are those who finished HW0 later than the first N students。
After you get 授權碼 during this session, you should go register for the course ASAP。After registering, you need to write down your registration code on the spreadsheet, signaling that the 授權碼 is used. At 2/19's 12pm, those who haven't written down the 授權碼 on the spreadsheet will have their 授權碼 forfeited。At 2/19's 12pm, I immediately re-assign your 授權碼 to 遞補者 through emailing。The 遞補者 will have time until 2/19's 3pm to register for the course。At 3pm, unused 授權碼 will be recycled to the pool, to be used in the 趕個晚集 session。
How to prevent the race condition? What if the 遞補者 偷用 the recycled 授權碼 after the 3pm deadline above? Read the HW0 description above: HW0 will evolve into HW1 later and the 偷用者 will get a 0 for HW1, after 偷用者 uses the forfeited 授權碼 to enroll in the class, against the rule。It will be a 10-point penalty because the 偷用者不遵守 HW 規矩。Hope the 10-point penalty will deter 偷用者 from doing it。Also, If you fill in the spreadsheet with wrong info, we'll apply this 10-point penalty when we find out。
10-point penalty means you can get at most 90-point in your final grade。It's a big deal。
趕個晚集 session: 2/19's 810-9pm in Room 502, NTU CSIE.
Because university 加退選 session 只能在一三五的 9am to 隔晨3am, 我們週一晚上就 810-9pm 選好 N（入選）+N（遞補），just like in the 起個大早 session above。Note：After 遞補，the hard deadline is specified by the university above: 隔晨3am. So, don't be late! Come to 趕個晚集 session at 810pm and get your 授權碼。發給N學生就結束這個session了。Just as 台大要求實體上課，we give priority to people who come to the open sessions。If you only 填表 without showing up during the open session，you know we give 授權碼 to the N students who show up。If the number of present students is smaller than N，then we go through the spreadsheet。
Note: Don't come to Room 502 outside the 起個大早 and 趕個晚集 sessions. We are doing research in between time and do NOT want to be disturbed.
起個大早 session: 2/21's 810-9am in Room 104, NTU CSIE.
Same rules apply。
趕個晚集 session: 2/21's 810-9pm in Room 104, NTU CSIE.
Same rules apply。
起個大早 session: 2/23's 810-9am in Room 502, NTU CSIE.
Same rules apply。
趕個晚集 session: 2/23's 810-9pm in Room 502, NTU CSIE.
Same rules apply。
If there are still many students who show up at Room 502 on Friday 2/23, wanting to get in class, I may apply for more 授權碼 from school. (No guarantee). And then we'll have extra 起個大早 session at 2/24's 810-9am in Room 502, NTU CSIE. Reason: 學校 加退選 session 有 2/24's 9am-12pm。把握這個 224 session！We have similar sessions on 2/26, 2/28, 3/1, 3/2 (請把握最後機會, 你來領授權碼).

Recap: Course roadmap of 2B: Blockchain FinTech and Big data:
Summary: 2B involves 2 courses each semester. There are 6 courses in total span of 2 years: DeFi, FinTech, BDS, BDSA, BitDA, BlockDA.
DeFi, FinTech: Offered annually.
BDS, BDSA, BitDA, BlockDA: Offered biannually.
Description of the 6 2B courses:
DeFi is offered every Fall semester. FinTech is offered each Spring.
Difference between DeFi and FinTech class: DeFi is 正本清源。不自我設限，跳脫法律框架。Then, FinTech class will add 合規 and Risk Management.
In 2017, Deloitte said FinTech is ABCD (AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Big data). But FinTech is “ABCDEFG, 1234567.” Ref: “Adaptive Market” by MIT Prof. Andrew Lo. EFG (Ego, Eco, Fear, Greed) is very important in understanding essence of FinTech. We shall understand the FinTech revolution and its disruptions, innovations and opportunities. The course provides the latest practical knowledge of FinTech, enabling students to understand the important financial changes currently taking place in the financial services industry, as well as the trends in its future development. This course covers important functions under the financial technology ecosystem, including: Internet finance, P2P lending, crowdfunding, digital payment, artificial intelligence, Big Data, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, network security, cryptography, insurance technology and regulatory issues.
For Big data:
BDSA is offered in the Spring of odd years ('23, '25, '27, ...)
BDS is offered in the Fall of odd years ('23, '25, '27, ...)
For 2B: both Blockchain FinTech and Big data: Note: To 方便記憶, 2B is 偶數. 這兩門課是偶數年提供。
BitDA is offered in the Spring of even years ('24, '26, '28, ...)
BlockDA is offered in the Fall of even years ('24, '26, '28, ...)
