HOW TO CHOOSE DISSERTATION TOPIC?

Is it seriously needed? Guidelines for topic selection? It’s quite funny yah. So let me say about how do you select your research topic? Opps! I forgot. Your professor has selected topic for you in your Graduation. Right? Ok, no issue, then just tell me how do you select your topic for assignments? What are the basic criteria?

Simple, finding an issue with our related field, gathering information about that issue and framing topic. Only three steps are enough. It would be better if we analyse that issue based on some case studies. Well said but for dissertation, only these three steps are not alright. Don’t forget you are appointed as a role of researcher and your duty is to point out the actual situation with proper justification in front of your readers. Your approach will be realistic and all data must be dynamic. So, you have to work too hard in case of choosing your dissertation topic.

Look, ‘dissertation’- the term itself is very serious that we cannot take it as in casual tone. So, selecting a dissertation topic is not an easy task for students especially those who are possessed their Master Degree. It is difficult because here your professor is not supposed to frame your thesis topic on behalf of you. That part was done in your graduation year but in advance studies like Master's level or Ph.D. level, you have to frame your topic by own. Another thing is, based on that research topic; your entire academic evaluation will be rated. So, choosing any simple and easy topic will not help you in getting good grades in final examination. So, you have to be very careful and realistic at the same time while going to select your dissertation topic. Below some points are given to help you in selecting your research topic.  

Choose favorable field: Always select your favorable filed to select your research topic. Look, research paper requires your own point of view, analysis, justification. So, if your topic will be out of your knowledge, then it will be difficult for you to draw proper conclusion. So, your topic must be from your favorable field.

Select your interesting genre: Your interested genre must be reflected in your research topic otherwise, you can’t be able to analyse your research paper and its appearance will be very fishy to your readers. Suppose marketing from MBA is your favorable field. From this, you are interested in branding genre. Then your selected research topic must be from this genre

Do market research: Do a detail market research about your favorite genre. It requires otherwise you cannot find out the issue faced by market or companies. Suppose, you have found an issue in branding genre in demographic segment while it was working well in other market segments. So, you can select your issue from demographic segment only based on which your research topic will be framed.

Find out the issue: Now the time is for selecting your research issue to frame out your research aim, objectives, questions. Your issue must be realistic and informative. Any kind of vague information will be losing authenticity of your dissertation.

Select your variables: One independent and one dependent variable must be there on your research topic otherwise, you cannot able to draw a valid conclusion for your dissertation. Based on these two variables, your statistical analysis and regression will be calculated. 

Frame your dissertation title: Now, you can frame your dissertation title. Make sure, your title must include all above-mentioned points like variables, issue, interest. Title must be short but catchy. Don't frame your title in 20 or 50 words. It will be maximum 8-10 words.

So, now you can understand the basic criteria of choosing dissertation topic. Now you can present your research draft to your professor for approval. Hope you will do your best.    

HOW REFLECTIVE JOURNAL HELP IN CREATIVE LEARNING?

If you are interested more in such creative activities, then why are you not trying to prepare your own reflective journal? Its not too tough task. Yes, reflective journal is basically your own thoughts on a particular event or past incidence faced by you. You have to just present your views and thoughts to your readers regarding that event with thorough analysis and arguments.

I know you are bit confused between reflective journals and argumentative essay writing style because both needed personal opinion to establish the rational outlook. Let’s inform you reflective journal is 40% similar to argumentative essay and 40% with reflection report. Rests 20% is your own opinion that how will you frame your paper, how the data will include in the paper and all. Not understand yet? Ok, let me explain you in detail. Start from its first similarity. It is 40% similar to argumentative essay; right? First, think what are the basic key points in argumentative essay? 

• ·         Key thesis statement
• ·         Theoretical arguments of scholarly authors
• ·         Your own justification

Second, 40% similarity is regarding your reflective report. What do you want to project through your reflective report?

• ·         Your issue with dealing the subject
• ·         Guidance to overcome those issues
• ·         Key Learning’s

Look, here I have segregated main points from your each 40% similarity. How we have to find out the common concept that has in both these two projects. What are they? First, it is the issue. Second, it is your key learning. So, reflective journal is nothing but your own reflection about your discovered issue that must be presented in different format that rests 20%.

So, detail information with proper rationale must be presented in the first few paragraphs in your journal to make your readers aware of why they are learning your paper and what knowledge they should gain after learning this. It is like rational section of any dissertation. Without having that rationale your readers will never understand why are they study your dissertation paper. Similarly, if your background information is not sufficient and well justified, then your paper will lose its weight.

Justify your rationale: Justify your answer with more realistic way. Here is the difference between reflective journals and argumentative essay. In case of argumentative essay, your justification will support by various scholarly articles and their views. But here, in reflective journal, you have to present your own real life experience with supportive case studies to prove your justification towards readers.

Ananlyse your actions: Now it is your part. You have to justify your taken action in that situation that you have mentioned in your journal. Make sure, your actions must be ethical otherwise; it will create negative impact on readers. You also can support your taken actions by giving relevant case studies.

Share your thoughts: Share your thoughts like why are you taken those actions, why you observe that event like that way and something that. Mind it, your given thoughts will generate a new viewpoint towards your readers and that’s why your thoughts must be ethical and realistic. No fantasy will be accepted here.

So, if you have experienced with some interesting event, then don’t waste your talent on posting those writings on social media sites. Make your own reflective journal and share your creative thoughts with others. Always remind, knowledge sharing can enhance your learning capacity. Then don’t waste your time. Start from here. We will wish you a very ‘Good Luck’!!!

LET’S LEARN ABOUT ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Bibliography we all heard. But about annotated bibliography??? How many of us know about it? OMG!!! Ok, let me answer how many of us heard about this bibliography? Now it is satisfactory. We all heard about it but don’t know its application in academic services. Basically, annotated bibliography used mainly for writing scholarly papers, Ph.D. dissertations to show why the writer has selected those resources for their advanced study. So basically it is advanced and elaborative form of bibliography. Writer or researcher has to project the critical outlook of their chosen reference briefly.

Wait Wait Wait! Are you getting confused between annotated bibliography and abstract? Ok, let me clear this confusion first. The abstract is the overview of your written research paper while annotated bibliography is the justification of your chosen references used in our research paper or assignment. Simply saying, space of abstract is based on your research paper or assignment On the other hand; annotated bibliography is open-end writing of your used scholarly papers. It will increase authenticity of your research paper. So lets’ start to learn about writing annotated bibliography. Please follow our below steps:

Select all sources first: First step must be your resource collection. Gather all your primary and secondary resources to prepare your bibliography list. Make sure your collected resources must have a link with your assignment or research paper. Invalid resource is not required to prepare annotated bibliography.

Prepare Bibliography list: After collecting all relevant resources, now time is for preparing your bibliography list. Make sure, your bibliography list must be according to your required referencing style i.e. Harvard style, Chicago style, MLA style and all.

Identifies the arguments: Now its the time for preparing annotated bibliography. After preparing your all reference list, first find out the argumentative statement of your each selected resource. Write down each argumentative statement against of your each resource to show readers critical outlook of those selected papers. Make sure, it is not literature review, so don’t link each statement with other resource’s statement. Just point out your critical overview of your each reference and write it down clearly.

Discuss the relevance of your used sources: Make sure, after writing critical statement of your each reference, the next paragraph should be your evaluation i.e. why you have selected those references for to your study. Please follow the below example format of annotated bibliography,

Gulle, K. (1995). International marketing, 3^rd Ed. Oxford: London.
This book states …Here the relevance of this book is to …

Prepare list according to referencing style: Your reference list must be followed the required referencing style that you have mentioned in your college semester question paper. So prepare it accordingly. Each referencing style required different format of annotated bibliography. For example, MLA referencing style must have 3 paragraphs for each annotated bibliography. First paragraph is for summary of that text, secondly is for evaluation and third is your own reflection about that text. 

On the other hand, Chicago referencing style of annotated bibliography can be done through one single paragraph that contains both the summary and evaluation of your text. All are depended on for different referencing styles.

Now you can understand how to write about annotated bibliography. So, if you are assigned some project that requires annotated bibliography, just do it. Simply follow above steps. Your annotated bibliography will be completed easily.  

HOW TO WRITE A BUSINESS REPORT?

What do you want to be in future? Market analyst? Financial analyst? Business Development manager? Well, whatever your wish is, you must have to know technical things otherwise, you cannot sustain in these positions. No no wait wait, please! Technical things does not mean about learning technology but metaphoric technical things that will help you to sustain in your desire position. Yes, I am talking about business presentation, writing business report. Before going to the presentation, you have to learn about business report first otherwise, it cannot be explainable to your board members and obviously to your college members and this ‘business report' has too many metaphoric technicalities to solve business issue mathematically. So, here we are giving some useful points of writing a business report for both for your college semester and your official purpose.

Brief your business issue: Identifies your business issue in the first paragraph of report. Note that in practical field, you have no other options to rectify yourself. So, in college semester, it is your only opportunity to learn everything about preparing business report. So whenever, you assign yourself for writing this report, think practical. Your management board does not have so much time to listen to every words of your report. So, it must be short, specific, informative but practical in sense. So, identify your issue in first paragraph. 

Provide supporting evidence: Evidence is must and must necessary whenever you are going to work in practical field. So, apply this sense in first step that is from your college semester. Though that evidence will be not so much needed to your professors but if you worked in collecting evidence from first step, and then it will be helpful for you to present your views in business presentation. 

Think it just a research paper. Before stick on a specific issue, you have to prepare the literature review of your dissertation. Similarly, this business report also needs some specific and business related evidence that will support your presented issue.

Present market condition: Yes, market analysis is more important to prove importance of your business report. One question should be rising that what the basic difference between evidence and market analysis is. Well, market analysis is the second part of your evidence collection. Before identifying the issue, you first have to collect all evidence. In addition, after analysing the present market situation with that evidence only that identified issue is accepted in market. It is similar to any case study assignment. You have to relate your case study with present market conditions and before that, you have to collect necessary information f your case. Simply, business report is real case scenario of your present company that you have to present towards your board of directors with supporting evidence and market analysis.

Justify your findings: Now, the time is come to present your intelligence towards board members. Yes, this is the section to show your critical views, analytical mind and understanding nature of market. Give your own viewpoints to justify that business issue. 

Use financial tools, graphical presentations that will visually help your board members of instructor to understand the entire scenario and raise their hands for you.

Suggest recommendations: One recommending section you must have to require in this business report. Identifying the problem is not good enough rather than suggesting some way-out resolve that issue. Make sure your recommendation must be realistic and fruitful otherwise it will get down your company position along with your grades in examination.

Proof read: Proofread your paper thoroughly. This is very much technical writing any single mistake can create biggest hindrance to your growth. So be careful in this case and make sure, your paper is plagi free. 

TIPS FOR START-UP BUSINESS PLAN

Its sound too interesting. Yaa? Obviously, because it has a feel good condition. We verbally became entrepreneur in our own imagination. So, students appeared in MBA who are interested or aimed to be acted as an entrepreneur in near future, must be focused on this topic. It is because, through learning business plan, you can get necessary essence of how to be a successful entrepreneur. But wait, please! Though it sounds good but its implementation, in reality, is too hard. It is too technical to use in every step in contemporary market and get your desire result from it.

For suppose, you want to be a café owner. Then, your primary targeted customers must be between ages 15-45. Here I have used ‘primary’ word because these age groups are fond of coffee and more or less everyday they visit their nearest and favorite, friendly café. Therefore, your café location must be in any posh area or in any college or university campus. Right? But, if your café will open in any slum area or local areas then?

Have you all those support that you need for your future business. Select your business after getting answer these entire question otherwise, it will demolish in its first move. Try to get answers from your insight and plan your business accordingly.

Do market analysis: Next thing is proper market research. You must have to know your planned business could get any appreciation in contemporary market or not. If yes, then plan for next step but if not, then start from beginning. You have to select other business options. Other than that, you can do a little survey that why your previous entrepreneurs are failed to start up your planned business. Is there any loopholes in their strategy or the market itself not needs that. Analyse your previous entrepreneur’s strategy first and try to find out their strategic issue. If there any issue, then try for a demo project. If not, then you have to plan for something else.

It is like your research paper. When you try to find out any issue, you first have to complete your literature review to know previous author’s viewpoint. Market analysis is similar with literature review. After getting understand previous entrepreneur’s viewpoint, only after you can proceed to next step. 

Select targeted customers: Check once, are there any targeted customers for your start up business or not. Please be specific for your targeted customers. Start it from their age groups. Try to fix your target in specific age group. It will helpful for you to continue your start up business. It is too similar to pilot study in dissertation. Through pilot study, you can get understand the possible outcomes of your entire research paper. Similarly, through targeting any specific age group, you also can be understood possible success of your business plan.

Check financial support: Now its time for checking your financial support. Survey a lot that how much you need to start up your business and then check your fund. If you have not sufficient, then you have to manage it before implementing your business plan.

Budget analysis, profit and loss statement, break even point development all are needed to be projected in this area that will indicate whether your project will be successful in near future or not. Whatever you may do, just remind it must and must be realistic.

Build your management team: Its time for building your management team for your start up business. Please remind your MBA module guide and assignments. Whom you are needed? Yes, accountant, human resource, market analyst and one IT person. One or two of these members must be experienced otherwise it will be difficult for your to continue your business. Project your financial analysis to them. Take their views. If all, are they agreed then you may start your business. However, just remind, always don’t rely on other’s statement. Here is the phase to apply your won knowledge and academics in real implementation.

Develop company description: Now, the time is come to develop your company description. Design your website and prepare your company description. It’s the tome for preparing newsletters and sending mail burst. Rest is ‘waiting for your best’.

1. Just keep calm and relax first. If you are too much worried, then you cannot be able to keep concentrate in your preparation. So just, let down all your nervousness and stay relax for some time. Bring confidence on yourself.

2. Have you your final syllabus? Have a look into that. Just check once that are you familiar all with those topics given in your final semester syllabus or not. If yes then it is ok but if not, then please sort out all critical topics and keep them aside first. First, prepare yourself with your familiar topics. If you get time, then you can start one of those critical topics for better study but always take decision according to your time shortage.  

3. Sorted out your all critical subjects. In those you are felt difficulties, please give time on them to make yourself prepared. It does not mean you can neglect others, those you think easy to manage. No… Don’t do this mistake.

Prepare yourself for rest 11 hours for exam. I think this is too much time for any students to get themselves prepared for their upcoming exams. 

6. Go through once with your class notes. Keep in mind, your instructor or professor wants to know have you ever listened to their words or reminded their guidance or not. So, if you overlook your class notes then, get ready for your fewer marks. 24*7 hours study also not brings you highest marks if your class notes are ignored. It is because you have made your professor realized that you listen nothing his/her lectures or not ever attend his/her, class. So, don’t do this mistake. Just once, tally your class notes for final preparation.

9. Take brief notes of your study. Make simple points and subheading to keep remember your learned lessons. Writing immediately after reading that lesson will help you to keep that subject in mind forever.

10. After done with your notes or sample tests, please revise it once. Continuous revision can help you to not forget your learned lesson and assist you in getting good marks in exam.  

11. Last and finally, avoid unnecessary phone calls to your friends. It does not mean to detach yourself with your all friends but avoid unnecessary phone calls. It will hamper your continuous and serious study. If you are getting irritate with too many calls and chats, then switch off your phones for some time or off your mobile data connection for some time. Prepare yourself first and then chat with your friends to get some breaks. But all must be on your planned schedule. 

So, what next? Be ready for your exam and plan your time management. It is utterly important to concentrate in your study to get good marks in semester. Last, we can wish you all the very best. Good Luck!!! 

WHY LIBRARY STUDY FOR STUDENTS?

Library??? Again study??? You may please but sorry, I will not…

These kinds of expression you get from your friends? You did not have any friend circle for making fun or planning for any parties or trips. Your friends taunt you as ‘library’, ‘bookish’ and like this and that???

Don’t be depressed. Library work is not only the task for studious students or scholars but for all people who want to learn something new. So if you are a good learner, then don’t hesitate. Just take membership of any of your nearest library and study there. You may start it from your college library because there you can get numerous databases to prepare your assignments, literature reviews, and reports. You may also be able to take membership for other libraries but it should be depended on your time management. But don’t take library as for hardcore study ‘concept’. It is not for that reason. It is made for learners who want to study about their subject or need some concentration or may be want to be alone for sometime. It is one of the finest places to develop your maturity, learning capacity, emotions. So, apart from using library for the purpose of hardcore study, we have developed some points to that why students should choose library for their study.

Need Concentration: Ohh! no free space for study? Are your surroundings sounds too loud? Then why are you wasting your time? A study in your college library with full of concentration and focus. Yes, only in your college library, you can focus in your study to think deeper and make your analysis bit critical. Don’t be shy! Library is not a place for only serious students but for those, who are very much focused towards their orientation. So, if you are oriented towards your career, then don’t waste your time. Go for free study about 1-2 hours; collect all data and takes sort note for your detail study.

Collection of Online resources: You may think why to go library for online study should while it can be possible from your home. Yes, you are also right, but in some college libraries, you may get access to some official and international journal resources. If you want access to those resources from your home internet, it may cost huge or sometime need permission for authentication. However, from your college library, it will be too easy for you to collect relevant study materials for your research paper or assignment making.

Meet with study group: Do you like group study? Why? Is it because to solve various questions in which you have faced difficulties? Hmm, you are right! Group study is best for all students to solve their various queries and academic issues. But if you don’t get familiar groups for study then don’t worry. Go to your college library. You will definitely find some groups and you will be much familiar with them also. No need to know how old or new they are, which stream they belong, how they performed in class but just meet them and discuss with them your difficulties and issue. You will definitely get some help and able to solved your issues. 

Preparation referencing: Library study can help you in collecting more authentic referencing for your dissertation. Not only that, but you may get access to online survey through your library online resource. This kind of survey seems more genuine to both samples and readers as you have the tag mark of your college. Not only can you, your future researchers also take help from your survey result to prepare their research paper. Similarly, you also can take help of your previous scholars or researcher’s survey result to complete your own paper or to show comparative analysis.

Plenty of books: Oh no! This book’s price is huge. Same expression, the same feeling you have whenever you want to buy your necessary study book from online stores or any bookstores. Don’t worry. Your library is there. Just get in and find out your necessary study book from registration files. You just need to pay a little i.e. your membership fees; nothing much.

So what next? You have your comfortable friends group now. Be with them. Now your so called ‘smart’ friends can seek your help to prepare their assignments. Don't be a rebel. Help them and make them understand your value and decision.   

PREPARATION FOR COLLEGE CAMPUSING

Are you finished with your final year of MBA? Well!!! So what next? Is it the time for settling down your career or you wish for higher study? Whatever the option you select, just remind you are too close towards your desire. Yes, it is the time for fulfilling all your wishes, hopes; getting opportunities to get forward. It is the time to tell your parents that ‘we are independent’ in true sense.

How will you do this? No, I am not going to give you any magic box or neither any Angel will come to fulfill your desire using magic sticks. It is time for preparing yourself for your College Campusing. Yes, that words wonders in your dream; that phase to take you into corporate world; that place to show your ability to the world and also to those who believe you as incapable one or jealous yourself. So, why late? Walk ahead to raise that jealousness and establish your ‘self’ for doing better. Before going deeper in your career fantasy world, just look at the following points that you must need to keep in mind during college campusing. Remember, any silly mistakes during campusing will break your fantasy forever. So, go through with the following points once.  

Make primary research: Getting pass in college campusing is not an easy task. Earlier preparation is most important for passing your college campusing. It is like completing your dissertation paper. After you findings, its issue and collecting all data, finishing the research paper is too easy but without these earlier process it is tough to complete. Am I right? College campusing is like a complete research paper. You need to research thoroughly before sitting for an interview. Then do not waste your time. Be ready for your primary research. Collect data like which companies or MNC’swill come for campusing; what will be their recruitment criteria, for which post they are requiring vacancies; total number of students that your college is going to intake for interview process etc…

If you are successful in collecting all these information, then your next steps will be easier. You will be able to plan yourself or for preparing yourself for interview according to your preferred MNC’s and its recruitment criteria.   

Build your Resume: Now you develop a suitable and strong resume to present yourself towards interviewers. Don’t make your resume too long that carry more than 2 pages. Remember, your recruiters are not having soo much time to read thoroughly your resume and all your projects that you have mentioned in details in your resume. Recruiters are interested in knowing your special skill, your short bio-data, academic qualification and something about your extra curriculum activities. So keep these all shortly but in details in your resume that your recruiters have a brief idea about you after giving their first glance at your resume.  

Revise your knowledge: Some of us have an idea that recruiters cannot ask any theoretical questions. Some personal data and technical skills are enough to pass an interview. According to me- it is totally wrong. Yes, recruiters don’t ask you any theoretical questions but they must want to know your basic knowledge in which most of the interviewees get rejected. So, it is time for mugging up your knowledge that you have learned in your entire academic year.

Noooo??? Oh yes, it is time for your viva test. So what? You have done with your written exam nicely. Then why are you getting nervous for viva?

Ummm, let me guess. Is the reason is related to your face-to-face interaction process in examination? Then how will you pass your interview in college campusing? It will be hard time for you in near future. Be preparing yourself and start it with your viva test.

Ya, it happens some time that we feel afraid and nervous in exam center towards our known person specially when they appear to us as our destiny maker. So, it is natural, when we see our instructors or guide in front of us in Viva room, our limbs became benumbed; sweats show in our forehead; our all lessons, preparation are going far from us…

These all symptoms are much known to us. We also feel like that in the time of our viva test. But always remember, getting good marks in written exam cannot prove your capability towards interviewers who are supposed to be made your future career. Your personality, attitude, interaction all are judged first by interviewers. So, if you plan it to develop yourself in future then why not start from now. Start it from your viva test. Imagine it as your interview session through which, your personality, merit, skill, educational capability will be judged by interviewers. Then let’s start for your viva preparation with following tips:       

Calm down and relax: Before your viva test, always be in relax mood otherwise, your anxiety will never let you show your potentiality towards judges. So calm down, reduce all your tensions and be cool and in relax mood. Do whatever you want to like reading books, listening music or party with friends. Try to give rest your brain. This relaxation will help you to show your capability in your viva test.

Remember your lessons: Try to remember your lessons or class notes that your instructor has dictated. Remember your guide is well known about your nature and characteristics because he/she has notice you carefully in classroom. They are much known about your weak points and in viva, this is the golden moment for them to hit at your weak point. Don’t think it negatively. Your instructor will not at all happy in giving you less mark but they aimed to take you out from your weak natures to show your capabilities in commercial market. So, find out your weak points and try to cover it to beat in your viva test.  

Go through with your research paper: Just goes once your research paper again. Though you have done the project but sometime any kind of silly mistakes will bring you fewer marks. So be careful about every important point in your research paper and answer confidently to your instructor.   

Be presentable: Your anxieties must not be revealed towards your instructor. If it happens, then your game ends. Present yourself professionally. Your smartness, attitude must be reflected through your dressings and behavior. But Don’t be over smart or extra confident. This will not impress your instructor but your unprofessional behavior disappoints them. They will think you as attention seeker rather than professional. Always be confident and show your professional attitude to impress judges.    

Try a demo with yourself: If you are soo nervous, then try a demo viva test with yourself. You must have seen your friends in demo proposal practice for their upcoming girlfriends/boyfriends in front of their mirror. Then why not you use it for examination purpose. Try yourself a demo viva practice. It will let you know about your all weakness and knowledge gaps. Finally, you will get some time to solve your personal issues to be presentable in your viva test.

So, what next? Hurry up and be ready for your viva preparation. It’s time to progress another step towards archiving your desire. 

CAN STUDENT DO ‘CUSTOM EDITING’ BY OWN?

What is it? Is it just re-checking your paper once again to find out silly mistakes and improve that accordingly? Then why are you looking for a service? Wait! Don’t go for that word ‘Custom Editing’. It is nothing but kind of proof reading your paper, point out your mistakes and improve your paper according to academic guidelines. Editing is not always related to Press and Newspapers and it not just means only deleting extra and non-useful words. We have a conventional idea about editing that is to change entire concept written by writer to reform it into editor’s conception. But it is wrong. Editing always follows some principles like ethical writing, removing unnecessary words, rechecking punctuation, grammars and ultimately establish institutional belief in that article. Here ‘Custom Editing’ means conventional form of editing that is too easy for students and they can do it on their own if they follow some certain principles. Some guidelines we are giving below for custom editing that hope will be helpful for students. Please follow our guidelines;

Look at structure: It is like skeleton of your paper. If your structure or draft is approved by your supervisor, then go for a good sleep at night. Because your 60% of assignment is done. Rest is only filling up the structure with relevant points that is too much easy for you. It is like rough sketch of drawing. If we approve our rough sketch then we give our final touch on it for presentation. Right? So, be careful about preparing your assignment or report structure. In case of research paper, I will advice you to definitely approve your research draft by your instructor otherwise, it will be painful for you in upcoming days. If your structure is ok, then 80% of editing is done. So be careful while you are preparing your assignment structure. Remember, your base must be solid; rest is covering and painting on the skeleton.

Punctuation: Yes, it is basic rule for custom editing. Your sentence may not be too long and obviously too short. Construct your sentence for academic writing between 15-20 words. Use of too long sentence can deconstruct reader’s mind therefore, sometime understanding key points of your analysis seem difficult.

Basic Grammar: There is no option in getting relief from grammar. Basic grammar of your paper must and must be correct. Sometime, students with weak grammar sense have used mixed tenses in their writing. It is too pathetic to read and understand for readers. So, be careful about your grammatical issues. Now, many grammars checkingsoftware’s are available on the internet, but those might not be helpful until or unless you have a basic idea about construct sentences and used tenses. So, use short sentences that will more or less help you to reduce your grammatical mistakes and proof read properly.

Citation format: Citation is too much important in academic writing. Writers use it for proving authentication of their paper. Various kinds of citations style and formats are there but in your assignment, you need to use proper format of your instructed citation. Otherwise, your paper will loose its authentication value. It happens for most of the students that they get fewer marks for improper citations and incorrect format though their grammar, punctuation and others basic parameters of writing academic paper is correct. So, please take it seriously while you are assigned yourself for custom editing of your assignment.

Graphical presentation: Graphical presentation is visual literacy. Sometime, pictures tell us the entire story that seems difficult to understand through writing. Without having any picture, it looks too boring to read a fat book. Therefore, use some relevant, graphs, pictures or images in your assignment or academic paper to make it interesting and dynamic to your readers. Don’t use unnecessary images but relevant graphs, statistical data you can put to increase authenticity of your paper.  

Headings and Sub points: Make sure, your paper has some relevant heading and sub headings. It is too tough and irritating for us to read long paragraphs. For readers, it seems very hard to understand the actual intention of writer. So, if we use some relevant headings and subheadings in our academic paper especially for dissertation, it will be interesting and more acceptable for readers.

Pictorial TOC: TOC or table of content will be short reflection of your entire assignment. It will be like a trailer of your assignment or dissertation. So if you want to make it nicely, then use some relevant headings and subheadings and put it under table of content to prepare a short glance trailer of your assignment. For dissertation or research paper, preparing good table of content will help you in getting good marks, as your instructor is well-known about your all relevant points from your TOC.

Theoretical application: No, readers don’t want to know the theory but only its application. Most of the students have made mistake in this section. They all are written about the used theory and its problems. But it is easily available. Readers want to know about your views about that theory. So, your theoretical application is must in your paper otherwise, your all hard work will be in vain.

Comparison: Along with all relevant information, correct grammar, images, and punctuation, you must have to apply your critical notion in your paper. For this, use theoretical comparison to show your critical analysis. Raising arguments will help you in developing your in-depth analysis in the academic paper.

Re-reading: Once, complete all the entire process, just re-read your paper for just once again. Result??? Your silly mistakes, more improvements, developed analytical technique will be reflected through your re-reading that will make your assignment best creation of yours.

So, leave your all anxieties and start writing your assignment. Work as bets as you can. Our custom editing guidelines will help you in getting good marks in your assignment.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR WRITING FINANCE ASSIGNMENT

Most of you people will think that why am I writing on this topic again because already I have given guidelines about how to write assignments. Then why will I guide you again about writing finance assignment? Is there any difference or certain rules for writing finance assignments? So, let me tell you its answer is both yes and no. Confused???

Obviously, because my answer is confusing. So, let me clear your all confusions. Finance assignment has no such difference than other assignment writings but it follows some certain rules. Look, the term ‘finance’ itself follows some principles. We can judge or analyse quality of finance assignments by its statisticaldata, relevant calculations, presentation, excel sheets and other statistical methods. It proves, without having those principles i.e. calculations, excel sheet, statistical data, finance assignment cannot be accepted as complete. Now you can understand my ‘confused answer’ that why I am telling it both yes and no. It is no because, structure of finance and other assignments will remain same meanwhile it is yes because finance assignment requires some mathematical rules and principles. Analysis here is not important but students must and must need to correct financial calculations otherwise entire analysis will be in vain.   

Here, we are providing you some basic guidelines for writing finance assignments. Students, who are going to write their paper for the first time, must follow this to present your all answer as ‘complete’. Not only for assignments, students can also use these guidelines for preparing their research paper and financial reports.

1. Use basic calculations of finance like ratio analysis, budgeting, NPV calculation, preparing of balance sheet, income statement, cash flow declaration. These are the primary step of finance papers that you have to include for completing your paper. So you must have to know all calculations in Excelsheet with formulas. Without presenting these calculations, your paper will be found as incomplete and artificial.

2. Use statistical presentation in your paper. Finance assignments or research papers need lots of statistical data and graphical presentations. So use those all nicely and neatly in your assignment. Always keep in mind, your assignment does not look like a literature or theoretical paper. Avoid using too many financial theories. It is not required while graphical presentation with full of statistical data is must and must need for finishing your finance assignment. If you are not aware of all those calculations and excel sheet formulas, then take help from your friends or seniors to prepare your assignment. Otherwise, using lots of theories in finance assignment will less your marks in semester.

3. Well, you are submitting your excel sheet with your assignment copy. You didn’t show all calculations and formulas in your soft copy!!! Don’t do this mistake. Write down all your formulas along with explanations in your word file also. It will make your assignment looking authentic and useful. Another reason is that few readers can understand excel formulas while word file looks more attractive, easy to understand and presentable to them.  

4. Your analysis will be based on calculations and given statistical data. You can use financial theory there to support your analysis but the ratio will be 65:35 where maximum section requires for data presentation and rest is for analysis. Also, analyse your paper with examples to make it live in presentation.

5. Proofread your paper well before its final submission. Especially cross check calculations properly because a small mistake can change your entire analysis process. So be careful about this and cross check properly of every calculation before its analysis and obviously submission.

6. Paraphrase well all financial terms otherwise you will be punished for doing plagiarism in your paper. It is happened in most of the cases that students are penalised for plagiarism percentage while they are not at all accountable for that. It is because for financial terms that not never be changed. So, I will advice you paraphrase well all financial terms to avoid plagiarism.  

Before submission, make sure, you have used all these above mentioned points in your finance assignment or research papers. These are the basic steps. Advance guideline you can get it after.
