Remember, ALL the text of your submission should be ENTIRELY in your own words.. The purpose of this assignment is not as much the research as it is forcing students to find that ability to explain basic economic ideas in their own wordsin a realistic context.

It should be sufficient for this course to number your bibliographical entries, and associate points of fact to them by following with the entry number [X]. You should be using more than one source, so your bibliography should have at least 2 entries.Remember, the emphasis on this assignment is expressing economic concepts in the context of your good or service, not the research per se. The bibliographical entry itself should conform to accepted citation standards. APA or MLA citation standards both acceptable. Papers without proper citation will simply not be accepted.
  • This report is *your* synthesis of information from source material. Everything you write should be solely in your own words. There should be no direct quotes or paraphrasing of any sort. Anything not clearly in your own words will be regarded as academically dishonest.If you cannot figure out how to put it in your own words, you shouldn't put it in the report, and I don't mean just shuffling words around.I know this sounds paternalistic and perhaps slightly insulting, but I wouldn't bother saying sounless experience showed me the necessity.The only exception is charts, tables or graphs which may be copied from source material with proper referencing.Student submissions are automatically assessed for originality by the Turnitin plagiarism detection service.Since you cannot use quotes or paraphrasing, I expect a very high level of originality.
My instruction:

4-Follow the format of the example file I attached and you will be fine.
5-APA style, even if you are not going to copy or put any quoteyou need to cite all the information and numbers number used in the paragraph at the end of the sentence by [#] the point in the reference page and not only putting it in the reference.
6-Please follow the example file attached the same, the style, the same points, and same way of citation and references.
7-Please make sure not to use quotes, everything need to be your own word if you are not able to do so please do not hesitate to inform me.
8-The graphs and charts if need to be cited. If it is from a web site it should be sited by mentioning the title, the website address, the date, the author name.(similar to the example file I have attached)

11-You must use more than one source for information; thus, your bibliography should have at least 2 entries. The references well as any charts or tables you include should be onseparate pages.
12-I have attached a file for an example of a very good report that was given to us by the instructor that he expect all the reports to be on the same level. This example just to give you an idea about how the report should look like, but bear in mind that you are not allowed to copy anything from it.Also, you find power point files that cover the topics thatneeds to be covered in the report.
