Steps to Write a Good Finance Assignment
Step One: Analyze
The first step to writing a good finance assignment is knowing how to write it. This means knowing what aspects of the financial world you are dealing with and who your audience will be.
For example, if your assignment lies within consumer banking or international finance, make sure you know how these areas work before beginning your assignment.
If you are writing for an academic publication, make sure you know what type of language they prefer. If you are writing for a general public audience use plainer language that people can understand more easily.
At all costs avoid plagiarism! Even if that means changing the wording slightly or restructuring the sentences to increase readability. It is better to have an understandable article that has some statements than an incomprehensible text full of jargon.
Step Two: Start writing!
Once you know what you are dealing with and your audience, start by doing some research on the topic. Read some articles that already exist about finance assignments to get an idea of how the subject is dealt with in academic circles, then read some general finance news articles to become more familiar with the terminology used in media.
This will help immensely when it comes time to write your assignment, but also improve your knowledge on this important topic!
Having done the research, outline the key points you want to discuss so that all of your facts can be tied together at the end. This way there will be fewer "holes" in your assignment than if everything was just written out randomly.
Knowing exactly what you want to say beforehand will help the clarity of your assignment. Also, it might be easier to write in larger chunks so that you can get rid of all of your notes and see the full picture before embarking on a large typing session!
This process also helps you avoid spelling or grammar mistakes since it is much easier to proofread when there are only one or two sentences per paragraph.
Step Three: Proofread for Errors
The final step is proofreading for any spelling, punctuation, or flow errors. Depending on how long your assignment is these mistakes may or may not stand out depending on their severity. If your article consists mostly of statistics or numbers which would cause difficulty in reading because of errors, then these should be proofread!
If your assignment is a lot of writing, it might be better to have someone else read through it for mistakes. This way there can be a second set of eyes looking at your work and can help you find any spelling or grammar errors that were too small for you to see.
