Derivative Classes

I discovered that Clewlow and Strickland have at least two books,
"Implementing Derivative Models," and "Exotic Options." I gather that "Exotic
Options" is the one you intend to use in your class, correct?

By the way, I queried participants in my class, and I heard that the case
study approach we occaisionally used was appreciated by several. The VAR
class I taught was from Jorian's book, which has no exercises and which
assumes a particular background in finance and statistics. I created a
problem (not exactly a case study) that required participant to learn some
statistics and try some different approaches. From this, participants got a
better idea of why one bothers with certain issues. Some liked the "real
world" flavor of this kind of approach. (Without the case approach, you could
provide good counterexampes as a partial remedy.)
