Assignment:

Complete all necessary analysis and make whatever decisions required.

Rules:

1. Your entire summative report, including text and exhibits, must be prepared individually, in your own words, without input or assistance from anyone else. This rule will be actively monitored and aggressively enforced. Serious and lasting penalties will be issued to any student that violates this rule. This includes AI technology.

2. Maximum report length: 2,500 words of text in the report body (8.5 x 11inch pages), plus a maximum of 6 pages of graphic or financial exhibits. All textual pages in the report should be formatted with one-  inch margins on all sides, single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, in MS Word. The report should be written concisely and may include bullets. Headings for each new section are required. In addition, page numbers in the upper right hand corner of each page are required.

Length Penalty: The penalty for exceeding the word count or exhibit page limit is ten (10) marks out of 100. Instructors reserve the right to increase this penalty for excessive violations. If the report is not formatted according to the guidelines, instructors may choose to reformat the report and/or apply the appropriate deduction.

3. All reports must be typewritten. The document must be submitted in .docx (MS Word) format. Reports must be submitted as one single document. Use the cut and paste function to merge content if needed. When submitting on OWL, please ensure your submission follows the required naming convention: Section Number_Student Last Name_Student First Name i.e. 001_Smith_John

4. The report must be submitted electronically on OWL via the Assignment Submissions (Turnitin) tab by the deadline which applies to all students. Late Penalty: Ten (10) marks (out of 100) will be deducted from the final report grade from any online submission received after 11:55 p.m. EST, another ten (10) marks will be deducted for each additional 24-hour period thereafter. Absolutely no extensions.

5.Plagiarism is the submission of work that is in whole or in part someone else’s work, which you claim as your own. Students must write their final summative assignment in their own words and use their own exhibits. Plagiarism is a major academic offense (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western Academic Calendar). Refer to the Business 2257 Course Outline for a definition of plagiarism and the course plagiarism policy. Additionally, collusion is the collaboration with another individual in the preparation of written work offered for credit. Collusion is regarded like plagiarism and is a major academic offense. The Business Foundations department takes this policy and its consequences very seriously. Students may not seek, accept, or provide consultation or advice in the preparation of the final summative report.
