Reports may not be accepted after the Turnitin dropbox has been closed. The cover page for this Ethical Analysis and Evaluation Report should follow the same format used for the Bank Comparison Research Report (Refer to sample cover page below) The research report must also contain footnotes,in-text citations or end-notes, and a bibliography. The class member’s responsibility is to read all prior Ethical Analyses request postings and determine that he/she is the first and only class member selecting that particular case in this class. Failure to follow these guidelines and if two Ethical Analyses reports on the same issue are submitted, the first posting has the exclusive right. The second submitted report will earn a zero (“0”) grade for the assignment. Please note that the class member cannot use the same topic if he/she is also taking other courses with the Professor. In submitting requests for the case’s approval, the class member certifies that he/she read and reviewed all prior postings, and no other class member previously requested the same topic in this class during this term. Footnotes and Bibliography Requirements: It is a severe academic ethical violation to fail to give the authors credit and the sources from where the class member obtained the information. Please present both the footnotes or in-text-or end notes citations and a bibliography following an acceptable manual of style. Listings of Internet addresses by themselves are not permitted. The class member must write the name of the source and then insert the web URL locator. URL listings by themselves are not allowed in the citations or bibliography and will cause a grade reduction. It is crucial to show the dates of all information presented and the date of the particular publication. Do not insert the date when the document is retrieved from the web, as it is not essential in this case. What is very important is the date when published on the web and by whom. Please refer to a Manual of Style tab to properly insert foot/end-notes or in-text citations and bibliography. Each page number must appear at the bottom center or right side of the report.
