Assignment writing guidelines
1. Your lecture notes will give you the basic framework ONLY of the ideas, theories and concepts you will need to complete the assignment. These notes will therefore NOT be sufficient on their own. You will need to make use of the required reading, extra references and any other material you come across in the course of researching your assignment Question(s).
2. When you are taking notes for your assignment, try and `translate' what the author is saying into your own words. Don't just copy out huge chunks from other people’s work, otherwise they will probably end up in your assignment with very little of the wording changed (which is plagiarism). Also try to think about what is being said from your own point of view - do you agree or disagree with the points that the author is making?
3. Take down basic points from as many sources as you can manage and compare what the authors are saying as you are reading. There will be both similarities and differences in their views and it helps if you can begin to classify authors together.
4. Remember, for referencing purposes, to take down page numbers of all the quotes you reproduce from other people’s work, and full citation details for each source you use. See the referencing guidelines for details of how to reference academic work.
5. Try to stick to the introduction/ discussion/ conclusion format in your Assignment – i.e., set the context of the essay and outline the structure of your argument, cover the relevant material, and then tie the discussion up by summarizing what has been said and offering YOUR opinion on what the topic is all about, based on the sources you have used.
6. The Assignment has to be posted on the blog spot http://gjimt2011accountmanagersA(B)(C).blogspot.com as new blog by 2:00 pm of 18th of Oct 2011.


Q1) This question has to be done as a group assignment. Your group members are the students who have done the same question in Assignment No 1 earlier from other sections, which you need to find from the blogspots. In case there is no student from other sections, then you have to do that on your own.

i) Please pick any topic related to Accounting for Management in consultation with your group members.
ii) Pick a business name for your group.
iii) Post your group name, names of the members along with the TOPIC that you have chosen on the blogspot by 14th October 2011. The Topic should have three parts. You need to name the three parts along with the name of the member for each part, who will be responsible for that part. The title of your blog post should be [Group name – Topic – Member names with roll nos and sections]. E.g [The Shapers – Recession fuels Inflation – 21 Santa(A), 62 Banta(B), 165 Rita(C)].
iv) The total words limit for this question for group as a whole is 500 words.
v) In case of duplication of topic, the group who has posted the topic first on blog will be evaluated and rest will be assigned ZERO for duplication. So it is advisable to check on blog all topics before posting your topic.
Any goof up by any member will result in getting a ZERO for the whole group.

Q2) To be done individually. You have to interview your best friend from the MBA – 2nd year batch – The Seniors (the friend can’t be from your MBA Class) with a questionnaire prepared by you and then interview the chosen friend and record on video? There should not be more than 3 questions with 40 seconds of video maximum and one student can’t be interviewed twice. The interview should highlight the hidden skills of your best friend which the MBA senior class is not aware of? Then upload the video on YouTube and post the link in the blogspot by giving the title [Your Roll No - Your name – Section – Senior’s name you have interviewed – Senior section] e.g [101 - Ramandeep – A – Rampal – MBA 2nd yr B].
