BUSI 422 - Real Estate

BUSI 422 Group Homework (8)

The student must complete the homework from the assigned textbook readings for each module/week. All homework assignments must be submitted in MS Excel documents (expect Week #1 which will use MS Word) that are professionally formatted and the student will be expected to use the automated tools (formulas, functions, etc.) available through Excel in order to embed the interim calculations in the cells (rather than simply using Excel as one would a word processor). Each student will make an individual submission followed by a collaborative group submission each week.

BUSI 422 Learnsmart Assignments (Connect online assignment system) (17)

The student will be assigned Learnsmart homework in the Connect online assignment system. These assignments will be graded automatically upon submission, and the instructor will subsequently transfer the scores to Blackboard. Access to Connect is mandatory for the student.

BUSI 422 Group Wiki (2)

Wikis are a collaborative learning experience. Therefore, the instructor will place the student into a small group at the beginning of the course. In each wiki assignment, the group will formulate and document a scholarly response to a real estate financial scenario. Each student must contribute to the research and development of the scholarly response through collaboration such as commenting, researching, editing, and revising information in the wiki.

BUSI 422 Appraisal Project

The student will prepare a realistic real estate appraisal using the Form 1004 Uniform Residential Appraisal Report. The appraisal will be for a residential property, performed using the sales comparison approach and cost approach.

BUSI 422 Connect Exams (4)

The student will take 4 bi-weekly, online exams through Connect. Each exam will be open-book/open-notes and will consist of multiple-choice and true/false questions.

BUSI 422 Peer Evaluations (2)

Each student will submit two peer evaluation forms (one at the end of Week 4 and the other at the end of Week 8) in which they will rate the relative contribution of each of their group members in the collective effort of preparing and presenting the final group submissions of those assignments.
