Assessment guidelines

1. In the written research paper, you should conduct your own research which goes above
and beyond the course materials provided to you. The aim of this assessment is to
demonstrate your knowledge and understanding through a written Paper. Your research
Paper begins with finding an issue given on any contemporary topics in bond, stock or
derivatives markets. You should identify an issue that you believe is both important and
of interest to you. Various videos have been posted on the assignment page “Research
paper” on canvas that may give you some ideas for some new and emerging issues in the
global financial sector.
2. Identify a research question that would guide your exploration of the area of research
interest that you have identified. Note: see below the video to know how to write a
research question and other relevant information which will help you to do this
assignment.
3. After you have identified a research question, you will need to investigate possible
approaches to examine your chosen research question and map out your strategy. Your
final product will be assessed on how well you succeed in identifying, explaining and
analysing relevant issues and arguments, to produce a clear and concise paper, where
issues are logically developed in a well-thought-out structure, and how well you can
support your findings with the relevant evidence.

4. Design approach – Your research paper is a conceptual paper, which examines a range of
literature called “literature review” relating to your selected research question.
Conceptual papers are simply papers without data. Note:

- You are not required to collect any data for this assignment.

- To know about Literature review- See video posted on the canvas in Assignment task-3
(Research paper)
