Project Instructions

· The project is separated into 3 interrelated tasks. All 3 tasks are due at the same time and should be prepared as a single report. You have a one-month duration to finish this major assignment. The deadline for the final report is Monday, 6th November, at 5pm Adelaide time (GMT +09:30). For students with an access plan, the extended deadline is Saturday, 11th November, at 5pm Adelaide time (GMT +09:30).

· Please submit your reports online via MyUni by uploading a single file in Microsoft Word format (either .doc or .docx) through the Assignments tab and associated link. If your assignment is late, please email it to Xiaohui ([email protected]) and Ethan ([email protected]) personally– Do not submit via MyUni if your assignment is late.

· Tasks 1, 2 and 3 most closely relate to Topics 2, 8 and 9 as detailed in the course outline.

· This is an individual project (you can discuss it with other students but everyone needs to make an individual report submission).

· The project comprises 50% of your final Quantitative Methods (M) grade. The Grading Rubric is also available on MyUni, giving additional detail on the assessment breakdown:
