NEW! Dynamic content—designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn—brings concepts to life

Now available as a Revel™ product, Revel Corporate Finance Online (CFO), 2nd Edition is tailored to how students read, think, and learn. Online, rich media and easy-to-navigate resources replace static lecture and printed textbooks. With this combination, Revel for CFO uses today’s technology and presents finance in a way that is easy to understand and also engaging for students.

• Integrated within the narrative, interactive content empowers students to engage with concepts and take an active role in learning. Revel's unique presentation of media as an intrinsic part of course content brings CFO to life. Revel's media interactives have been designed to be completed quickly, and videos are brief, so students stay focused and on task.
• Highlighting, note taking, and a glossary let students read and study however they like. Educators can add notes for students, too, including reminders or study tips.

Help students move beyond memorization to a deeper understanding of financial concepts

Research shows that when students see, hear, and do, they retain more information than when they simply see. That’s why the authors created a combination of videos, interactive animations, and a built-in financial calculator for students to use.

• Illustrative video explanations, coupled with vivid animations, close the common gap in learning the concepts behind the mechanics. And with solutions presented in multiple ways, students have the flexibility to learn according to their preferred learning style.
  • Explain It! videos enrich the written presentation of a topic, illustrating particular concepts in an engaging fashion and helping students better understand key material.
  • UPDATED! Explore It! animations enable students to play with a concept, manipulating inputs to see the implications of change. Denoted by attention-grabbing icons, Explore Its! are often accompanied by video explanations that help students further learn the “meaning behind the math.” New interactive Explore Its! in all chapters let students interact with financial relationships or guide them through complex calculations to gain increased confidence and intuition.

• Tips offer reminders, warnings, tips of the trade, and intuitive insights. Highlighting common errors and demystifying concepts, they help students achieve mastery of the material.

Spend more time teaching financial concepts, and less time teaching how to use tools

Finance students are asked to leverage tools like the financial calculator and Excel, and it can be a challenge to teach the requisite financial topics while also teaching how to use the tools. Revel CFO includes tools and resources to help with this, and to empower your students.

• A robust financial calculator, which is similar to the Texas Instruments BA II Plus, is at students’ fingertips throughout the entire learning experience. Its unique Timeline feature allows students to see the impact of performing calculations and changing different variables. When students input specific information, it is represented visually over periods of time in the Timeline feature.
• For every example, students see video-based solutions for the various tools, modeling how to step through the problem in each tool. This empowers the student and frees up the instructor’s time to focus on the financial concepts.
  • UPDATED! Excel^® Templates appear for problems that can be solved using Excel. If a table has interesting data that students might want to inspect or manipulate, we provide the data in a spreadsheet.
  • UPDATED! If an example involves a few steps, some algebra, or is complicated in some other way, a Tablet Video provides a narrated, step-by-step solution to the example, focusing on the general approach to solving the problem rather than on the numerical mechanics.
  • A Financial Calculator Video shows students how to solve a problem using CFO’s financial calculator, which is similar to the Texas Instruments BA II Plus.
  • A narrated Excel Video illustrates how to solve a problem using Excel.

Give students the opportunity to study, review, and practice  

Finance is a discipline one learns by doing. In Revel CFO, as students learn the material, they encounter practice opportunities directly within the narrative, which means instructors can see students’ progress in their learning, not just their problem sets.

• NEW! Two new chapters—one on Corporate Valuation and the other on Futures and Options—reflects the latest trends in the course curriculum.
• UPDATED! Self-Tests. Within the chapter narrative,students pause to answer a range of simple, basic reading comprehension questions, as well as more challenging financial problems that are algorithmically generated. Students get immediate feedback to make the most of their practice time. In the 2nd edition, the authors have nearly doubled the number of self-test questions in every chapter.
• NEW! Homework assignments are included for each section and chapter, making it easy for instructors to set up their course, while also allowing flexibility to customize their assignments as desired. The 2nd edition includes 50 new algorithmically-generated, end-of-chapter problems as part of these assignments.
• To help students review what they’ve learned and get help where they need it, each Chapter Summary serves as an all-in-one reference guide that compiles the chapter’s key concepts, equations, terms, and video-based examples in Revel.

Superior assignability and tracking tools help educators make sure students are completing their reading and understanding core concepts

• Revel’s assignment calendar allows educators to indicate precisely which readings must be completed on which dates. This clear, detailed schedule helps students stay on task by eliminating any ambiguity as to which material will be covered during each class. When they understand exactly what is expected of them, students are better motivated to keep up.
• Revel’s performance dashboard empowers educators to monitor class assignment completion as well as individual student achievement. Actionable information, such as points earned on quizzes and tests and time on task, helps educators intersect with their students in meaningful ways. For example, the trending column reveals whether students' grades are improving or declining, helping educators to identify students who might need help to stay on track.
• Revel’s Blackboard Learn™ integration provides institutions, instructors, and students with easy access to their Revel courses. With single sign-on, students can be ready to access Revel’s interactive blend of authors' narrative, media, and assessment on their first day. Flexible, on-demand grade synchronization capabilities allow educators to control exactly which Revel grades should be transferred to the Blackboard Gradebook.

A comprehensive suite of resources helps to foster a dynamic in-class experience

• Additional instructor resources—including PowerPoint Presentations, a Test Bank (with 140 new questions), a Solutions Manual, and a Workbook—further bolster the in-class experience.
• NEW! While the main learning experience happens online, Revel CFO has an optional print Workbook and a loose leaf Print Reference that includes a static version of what is on screen. The Workbook includes carefully curated problems for individual or group work; for use in a flipped classroom; or as supplemental, pencil-and-paper practice.
