Finance 102 Requirements for Take-Home Exam Projects
GENERAL In order to receive full credit for your assignment, be sure to adhere to this checklist. Be sure your work looks professional. You should be very proud of it. Collaboration Unless otherwise indicated, you may not collaborate with anyone in any way. To do so is an act of academic dishonesty. If you are not sure if something is appropriate, ask me. Naming files Name your files NNN project n FLastname.ext, where NNN is the course number (e.g., 123 for FIN 123), "n" is the project number, and "ext" is the file extension. The file extension is applied automatically. For example: 102 project 1 JRozycki.xlsx. Please do not put the pound sign (#) in your file names. Blackboard will not allow me to read the file. In addition, please do not zip (compress) your files. MEMOS Formatting Limit your memo to one page. I will not read beyond one page. Use a 12 point Calibri or a 12 point Times-Roman or an 11 point Arial or an equivalent font. (Using a smaller font will result in a loss of points.) Use single spacing, and set the margins to one inch. Attachments Reference all attachments and be specific. Unless inappropriate, provide a brief discussion about what the reader should notice. (e.g., See the attached graph of the NPV profile on page 2. Notice that the NPV becomes negative if the discount rate exceeds 12%.) Put page numbers on your attachments and refer to them by page number. Grammar and usage Use proper grammar and usage. Avoid slang. Use active voice. For example, state: "We examined the statements." Do not state: "The statements were examined." State: "We forecasted the net cash flows." Do not state: "The net cash flows were forecasted."
