The Black Scholes ModelInterestingly, it was rejected the first two times they submitted it for publication.In the same year that they published the article on option pricing theory (1973), the Chicago Board Options Exchange opened and provided the perfect testing ground for the practical implementation of the Black-Scholes model. Within six months of the original publication of the Black-Scholes formula, it had become so widely used by traders at the CBOE that Texas Instruments produced a handheld calculator pre-programmed to produce Black-Scholes option prices and hedge ratios.

What makes your teaching better than anyone else?I read my evaluations carefullyI over prepare for each lecture, even if it is the 100th time Ive done itStudy beforehand, Improve materials every timeI demonstrate that I want to be teaching the classI am enthusiastic about the material I dress according to business normsI show up and start class on time.I deliver what I promiseI dont change the rules midstreamI give students respectI am flexible if it is fair, accommodating, but not weak. I always say why I have a rule or policy.

What other advice would you giveFind the best teacher in your area, better yet if it is the class you teach, then go sit in for a semester. Decide what topic over the semester you think is the coolest, most interesting, most surprising and devise the lecture of the year for that. Have a intro, and body and and a conclusion. #TI4GS

Teaching is fun if you are doing it right#TI4GS
