rawraw - (and others) - that’s the kind of thing what I’m looking for - I’m a big fan of sensitivity analyses.
Part of the issue I’m facing is that the class is supposed to serve two purposes. One is to teach them the topic of Fixed Income. The other is to have them do more Excel. In a perfect world, they’d be two separate classes. But that ain’t the case here.
So while some of the examples/assignments might be a bit tortured, I probably have to come up with them anyways.
Have itera give a special guest lecture, where he disparages the achievements and status of all the students one by one. This will prepare them for the tough world of finance. You will know that the class is a success if it resembles this Batman clip.
