In this course you are learning primarily about the banking system. However, there are many other types of financial institutions in the United States that are important to understand. You will be required to prepare a pre-recorded 5 to 7 minute presentation on your chosen industry. You have the choice of using Zoom or Screen-Cast-O-Matic to record your presentation.
The presentation must include the following information:
Title Page: Financial Institution (an industry, not a specific financial institution) Choose from Commercial Banking, Community (Retail) Banking, Internet Banks, Savings and Loan Associations, Credit Unions, Insurance Companies, Investment Companies (Mutual Funds), Brokerage (Securities) Firms, or Mortgage Brokers.
