<p>Can anyone who has taken this class give me some insight into the class? Difficulty, amount of work, quantitative nature, etc…</p>
<p>Griffin is the professor.</p>
<p>Best class I took when I was at McCombs. You go over balance of payments, monetary policy history, swaps, options, derivatives, FX forecasting/arb.</p>
<p>Difficulty - somewhat challenging. Will need to review daily and not cram.</p>
<p>Amount of work - 4 tests</p>
<p>Quant - Arithmetic</p>
<p>The challenge comes from identifying a transaction, risk factors affecting value of cash flows and how to hedge it (swaps, options, forwards).</p>
<p>Take it.</p>
