Plagiarism Writing
1. Plagiarism occurs if you use somebody elses work in an assignment or exam answer, but fail
to state where you got the material from. You need to be also very careful about the amount
of words you are using from somebody elses work.
2. It can happen in any type of assessment where you are given the questions or tasks in advance.
3. If another student uses your work in his/her answer(s), both you and he/she will be punished
when caught.
4. Punishments for committing plagiarism can be very severe.
Details
Plagiarism is a form of cheating in which students use the work of others and present it as their own.
It may include all or any one of the following
1. Copy extensively from the work of others (from sources such as books, magazines, journal,
web-sites etc) and submit the work as your own.
2. Copy another students work and submit it for assessment under your own name.
3. Allow another student to copy your work and then submit it for assessment under their own
name.
What happens if you get caught?
The examining body of CBFS may punish offending students in any manner that they deem fit. Typical
punishments may range from reduction in grades, making students re-sit modules and even failing
students on a module or an entire award. The college considers this form of cheating as a serious
offence. Therefore be forewarned!
Guidelines for writing Analytical Essay on Financial Market Issues
Introduction:
Analytical essay is a short piece of writing that discusses, describes or analyzes one topic.
Analytical essay means gathering available information regarding a topic, interpreting the
relevancy of the sources, and processing the information into an intelligent way of thinking
about it. In order to write an analytical essay, you should learn about how to think and read
critically. Analytical writing is not just about acquiring data, memorizing facts, or reiterating
what someone else thinks, but is a learned skill that involves active participation by the
individual to understand the topic well enough to write a balanced and well communicated
paper. The ability to think critically is a skill that is required for finance management, because
problem solving is needed throughout your finance career. Essays and papers that you will
write in this course will require you to perform the task of first thinking critically about a
specific topic before you begin to write about it.
Objectives:
The primary objective of writing a analytical essay is to make students develop their analytical
abilities and develop the research habits. The other objectives are to harness your creativity,
critical thinking ability and report writing ability and develop the teamwork. This is the
opportunity to you to relate critically what you learned from the class with the real-world
situation. This assignment will pull all essential concepts in finance together into a practical
format. The efforts on the assignment will in the end provide you with confidence to apply
tools of analyses and for making corporate financial decisions.
Analytical essay is all about going into the depths of the subject to be reviewed and discussing
it objectively so that you get to know the subject better and in details.
How to write?
Analytical essay generally, focus on a subject or an event, or its features. Getting started on
your analytical essay requires choosing a topic that is of interest to you. For your benefit, we
are giving a list of topics and you may choose any one of your interest from the list. But, the
selection of one topic by two groups in the same class is not allowed. This assignment will be
done by a group of THREE members only.
Analytical writing depends on critical reading. There is a certain way to process information
you read or collected in order to complete an essay or paper. The key point is not to read for
just information, but to look for unique ways of thinking about your topic. Remember, you
are evaluating the information and making sure it accounts for the conclusions it contains.
Afterwards, you are required to make your own judgments and create your own arguments
based on the information that you have read. Research your topic by going to the library and
using a variety of sources. In addition, you may use Internet sources that are reputable. It is
best to take short notes because then you can make certain that you are not copying down
entire sentences from your sources and that it is your ideas that you are conveying, not a
plagiarized copy of what you have read. Next, sort these notes according to the ideas on them
and begin the first draft of your paper. The flow of your entire paper or essay is important.
Your introductory paragraph should set the stage for what follows. In your final paragraph
you should sum up your overall conclusions.
Format of the Paper:
A. Title or cover page with title of the paper, group members name and number, guide
name, group, batch, department, college and ministry name with symbol and
appropriate border
B. Table of contents List of chapter-wise contents of the Paper with page numbers
