Research Investment Management 2B

The research project should consist of the following sections:

* The cover sheet. An example of a cover sheet can be found in ANNEXURE A of this document.

* Info page i.e. title report, details of student etc.

* List of references. No internet references

* Your initials, surname, student number and module code should appear as a footer on ALL pages, except the cover pages, of the research report.

* Indicate the number of words on the cover page; see ANNEXURE A, of this documentA bibliography is a list of the sources you used to get information for your report. It is included at the end of your report, on the last page (or last few pages).

You will find it easier to prepare your final bibliography if you keep track of each book, encyclopedia, or article you use as you are reading and taking notes. Start a preliminary, or draft, bibliography by listing on a separate sheet of paper all your sources. Note down the full title, author, place of publication, publisher, and date of publication for each source.

Also, every time a fact gets recorded on a note card, its source should be noted in the top right corner. When you are finished writing your paper, you can use the information on your note cards to double-check your bibliography.

When assembling a final bibliography, list your sources (texts, articles, interviews, and so on) in alphabetical order by authors' last names. Sources that don't have authors (encyclopedias, movies) should be put into alphabetical order by title. There are different formats for bibliographies, so be sure to use the one your teacher prefers.
