What Makes a Good Quality Assignment?
It should be based on good quality research and your ability to present a vast amount of information succinctly and in a convincing manner.
You need to use a proper organising framework to present your work.
You need to use good quality sources of information (government fact sheets, international institutional websites (the World Bank, United Nations, World Economic Forum, WTO, etc.) or business reports of reputable organisations such as KPMG, Ernst & Young, Accenture and Deloitte). **Do not use Wikipedia or dubious references, or no-name references from strange websites**.
You should use these resources well to support your arguments.
Your information should be realistic and relevant and useful for the company/person conducting international business.
You should reference sources adequately and use the Harvard referencing system to acknowledge your sources of information (both in-text and as a reference list at the end).
Your assignment should have a low Turnitin similarity score or below 20% (excluding references/sources, and direct quotes), and your writing should not be matching to other sources.
You must write in your own words and NOT copy any sources verbatim. This means that you need to paraphrase your content. This is important because if you copy content directly from the sources, you will be engaging in plagiarism, which has serious academic penalties at Deakin University, including rejection of the assignment. Read on the guidelines for Academic Integrity.
Your final paper should not exceed 2,500 words in total.
Your paper should be typed and double spaced with 12-point font and have proper headings.
