Main Elements of the Final Product

Money and Capital Markets Final Paper

At the end of every chapter in the textbook there is a section called “Web Exercises”. Typically there is an issue given that ties in closely with the chapter, and a website is recommended for further research or background on the subject.  For your formal research essay assignment you are to select one of the Web Exercises as contained in the text that is of particular interest to you, research the central issues as outlined in the exercise, and report your findings.

Content:  Your essay is to be between 7 – 10 pages of actual written content, exclusive of title page, references, tables, figures, or other supplements to your work. After an initial introduction to your topic, you should provide pertinent research and analysis related to your topic. Begin by discussing the key issue(s). Conduct your analysis of how the research relates to your issue(s), and what you have learned. Next are your Conclusions, which should be a brief summary of your key findings. Lastly, your Recommendations will be what your thoughts and feelings are as related to the research you have just discussed.

Format: Your essay should use APA Editorial Style rules including double-spacing between lines, title page, headings and subheadings, a references section at the end, citations, and in all other respects grammatically correct and consistent with APA standards. In the Title Page identify the Web Exercise you have chosen, and include the page number(s) where the article is located. Headings and subheadings should be used throughout, starting with an Introduction where you introduce your article and what you will be covering in your essay, sometimes this is called a Statement of Purpose. Next, there should be an Issue(s) subheading where you lay out the central issue or issues. Not much discussion is usually required here. Next, there should be a subheading for each key piece of research that you discuss. Finally, there should be a Conclusions section where the key findings are briefly reiterated and discussed. Lastly, a Recommendations section which is where you add your keen insights as related to all of this research you have just discussed.

Research: In addition to the textbook, four to six research resources may be utilized. Research should come primarily from financial academic journals. Newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, or Investor’s Business Daily may be used as well. Students are discouraged from using most magazines or websites, as they are not considered scholarly, and are not subject to the same standards of rigor and therefore are oftentimes highly biased and inaccurate.
