A basic introductory investments course suitable for all business majors. Most schools would do half of this and half of an intro to corporate finance in one course. We split them out so we can go into greater depth. The idea is to give students the tools so they can invest and save (e.g. for retirement). Finance majors, minors, and others with deeper interest then take Investments which goes into even more detail.
Most of these have since been subsumed by better, more-complete slides on these topics from A Quantitative Primer on Investments with R.
