The textbook does a good job of explaining corporate financial principles. Because our professor loosely based his class on the lesson plans and added HBR cases to enhance the experience, we didn't get as much value out of the exercises and examples. I would recommend this for folks who already had financial accounting or will combine this with some accounting principle exercises.

As far as textbooks go, this one wasn't bad. Very clear explanations dealing with the realm of Corporate Finance.
