Hello!

It is safe to register and/or authenticate. The site is run by Ivo Welch, Prof at UCLA. For more information, please click on About Us.

Students: Registration allows students to take sample tests, including a great set of corporate finance quizzes. (A typical quiz looks like this rendering.)

Instructors: Instructors can also obtain an own tailored course site. Course sites allow posting and changing equizzes, seeing what students have answered, distributing homeworks and collecting student answers. The web interface is far simpler (no learning curve!) and more pleasing than anything else out there. See screenshots If interested, please email to request a tailored instructor site. Include (1) a gmail address; (2) a link to a university site so I can confirm your identity; and (3) a course name (such as mfe404) and year (such as 2018). Your private website will be named something like http://welch-mfe404-2018.ucla.syllabus.space.

If you stumble upon little or not-so-little bugs, please let me know.

Direct Authentication is the fastest and most reliable method to authenticate. It works with your google or facebook id.

Note that G Suite accounts (like g.ucla.edu) can also use our Google authentication.

Alternatively, use sendmail. It is slow, throttled per server (to avoid bot DDOS attacks on other servers), may take up to 10 minutes to arrive, and is only valid for 15 minutes—if you are lucky and no spam filter blocks it, in which case you will have to debug where your IT department or you have blocked the email. If possible, avoid direct sendmail authentication. Nevertheless, here it is:
