Hey guys, I'm having trouble with study.com finances courses as far as the assignments. It's been a struggle for me but I don't have any help either from teachers besides feedback nor is there any tutoring. I wish there was like an outline like sophia but how do you guys go through with it? The essay questions sometimes don't have the answers in the lessons. Do any of you guys provide tutoring? Thanks.

Basically, you may want to elaborate on which finance class, which assignment, and what part of the assignment is causing you issues. If you have a high enough score on the quizzes and final exam, you can quickly complete the assignments (even though there are mistakes) and continue with your remaining classes. The more info you provide, the better we can help you with...

The class is Finance 302 and my Assignment 2: Calculating Triangular Arbitrage

I already put the screenshot but in the notes it says it was missing which I don't understand because it's in the doc. Also, I know I did it wrong but will correct it because it was confusing.

In the finance course itself, it didn't give much detail of triangular arbitrage and so I'm wondering if I should use outside resources such as google, reading articles, youtube videos for the information on how to calculate triangular arbitrage and learning more about how certain policies and risk affect it. This is from the notes - the analysis didn’t go very deep into how those changes would specifically impact triangular arbitrage strategies. A little more direct
connection to how each risk or policy affects arbitrage opportunities would help bump this up.

I think the course is very vague and it doesn't give much details on the assignment itself. I already got a 12/25 on this assignment and I need to fix it as it will be my last submission for the assignment.

You need to use outside sources and cite those sources in your paper.

For business, you can get away with citing basic finance sites like Investopedia but you don't want to cite YouTube vids or some random blogger.

Basically... What's your total score right now out of 300? If you add your quizzes, final exam, plus the first two assignments? If you're already past 210, you're good to go even with a 12/25 on the second assignment. If you're below 210, then I would try and redo the second assignment to get you past that 210 threshold...

Okay, so pretty much use all the resources that you can at your disposal? But of course I will only cite the primary and secondary sources, none of that wikipedia and blogger stuff lol.

Basically... What's your total score right now out of 300? If you add your quizzes, final exam, plus the first two assignments?  If you're already past 210, you're good to go even with a 12/25 on the second assignment.  If you're below 210, then I would try and redo the second assignment to get you past that 210 threshold...

I haven't done the final exam yet, doing the assignments and then save the exam for last. But, I heard its open book now which is good. Thank you!

That's what I usually look for, accumulation of points, to see where you currently stand... Some people like to do the assignments first and then the final, others like to do the final before the assignments. It really depends on the person, you still need to calculate how much you need to get to that goal. Here's an example if the class has 3 assignments, quizzes 90 + final 90 + assignment 1 at 18/25 + assignment 2 at 12/25 + assignment 3 at 0 (skipping it as the person has exactly 210 points already).

This person can decide to skip the final assignment... You have to do an estimate of how well you're going to do and shoot for a bit better than that, as you always want to be on the safe side and making sure you pass the class. The final exam is the only one that will cost you more, you get two/month included in that monthly membership, otherwise, you'll have to pay $70/extra exam each month. There are strategies and tactics in order to pass, use them accordingly, in short, a pass is a pass...

Ooo okay I understand now, thanks. Quizzes = 99, Assignment #1 - 40 Assignment #2 - 12 Assignment 3 - 0, final - 0
So as of now, I have 151 points out of 210.

That's pretty good. If you can manage to get at least 12 on the next paper, you'll only need around 50 percent on the final to pass.

Keep in mind that you can turn in the same paper up to three times for a higher grade.

[bjcheung77]

So, yeah, like I mentioned earlier, you just need to now gauge how well you do... The final, you just need 60/100 to get the pass, and you can skip the 3rd assignment if you wanted to... You'll end up with 211.
