FIN 340: Stock-Trak Project Guidelines and Grading Guide

Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a six- to eight-page paper describing and analyzing the Stock-Trak portfolio created throughout the course. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency, because it demonstrates an understanding of the material covered in a realistic setting, including evaluation of the portfolio and course corrections. The project is divided into eight milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules One through Seven.

Main Elements

This paper should include an introduction (with an overview of the portfolio), a detailed analysis of the portfolio at various stages throughout the course, and a conclusion. The conclusion should include an analysis of the portfolio performance, including when and why the portfolio was successful or unsuccessful. A summary of the strategies employed should also be included.
