They will do this individually and in groups. A quiz will be conducted at the end of the course
to encourage students to keep up to date with the current issues in finance. The assignment or
the article review, presentations and participation, will be evaluated on a number of criteria as
outlined in the rubrics provided by the faculty. Please refer to notes on OBE available in the
Faculty’s website.

A. INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT [10%] & VIDEO


PRESENTATION [10%]

Each student is required to find out an article regarding any current issues in finance. The
article should be dated current year (2019 and 2020) and write a report on a topic of their
choice that receive wide media coverage in recent weeks. Please feel free to come up with
your own topic. If you are unsure whether a particular topic is “related” or “appropriate”,
please consult the lecturer.

The intentions of this assignment are for students to read, survey, research and write a paper
independently on a topic of their interest. In writing this paper, it is hoped that students
would discover relevant literature related to financial globally. This is part of the process of
independent learning and aims to further develop lifelong learning competencies. Student
also need to discuss on roles and responsibilities of Individuals, Corporations and
Governments on Ethics.

The deadline for submission is on week 5 .

The objective of this assignment is to develop the skills to review the literature and determine
the gap or issue pertaining to the study. The requirements for reviewing of your chosen
articles on current finance issues and ethics are as follows:
1 | FIN657/Assessment
• No limit of pages (depend on your article)
• Attach a photocopy of the main article as an appendix and other articles in references.
• Format will be given during class.

Your report should be, at a maximum, five (5) pages long excluding cover pages, references,
and appendices, if any. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty will not be
tolerated and will be penalized accordingly. Please cite all sources of information and
reference and check your plagiarism by using turn-it-in.

Students should aim to produce a report that demonstrates analytical and/or critical thinking
abilities. A mainly descriptive write-up or one that is mostly the result of “copying and
pasting” will not earn a good grade.

Second task for individual assignment is each student must find out 1 theory in finance. Each
student must discuss about the theory, how it functions and what the issues behind the
theory.

To optimize on the learning experience, variety in coverage of topics is desirable. Hence,


student should not select the same article or theory. To ensure this, please forward your name
as well as the chosen article/theory to me and share it in our WhatsApp group.

specifically discusses the global finance issues.
