2. Stock Valuation Report

International students usually do not have permission to work in the US and will have difficulty finding an internship. (However, if you do find an acceptable internship, we can usually get permission for you to work and get paid). Therefore, international students are allowed to complete a comprehensive stock valuation project to meet the requirements for this course. The project must be written in your own words and not copied from the internet or other sources without citation. Use footnotes to provide proper citations for any work copied from another source. You should then include all citations at the end of the paper in the References section. Projects not written in the student’s own words where sources are not cited will receive a failing grade. The completed project is due by April 24, 2020.

The project is described in detail on the syllabus for international students. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
