Course Description

The course is designed to generate an academic research paper for degree's academic research in Finance and Economics. The first part of the course focuses on how to organize an academic research paper, including developing the research questions, reviewing and synthesizing prior research and writing, and understanding the elements of an academic research paper. Students will work in developing an appropriate and feasible research design, considering the distinctions of alternative methods. Students will draft chapters and eventually a full academic research paper with ongoing review by the course lecturer.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Perform self-directed learning skills to conduct an academic research paper and verbally demonstrate the research outcome.
2 ) At the end of the course, students should be able to illustrate the elements of an academic research paper,
3 ) Build hands-on experience using database/s to help students to acquire the skills necessary to carry out their own academic research paper in various aspects in Finance or Economics, and
