Determining word count
impacted by Turnitin
• After submission to Turnitin, the Turnitin recorded word
count is usually higher than the word count in a Word
document.
• Where the assessment brief specifies a maximum word
count, on the front cover of your submission record the
number of words as recorded in your Word document.
• It is the Word document word count which will be taken
account of in marking, NOT the Turnitin word count.

tables, figures, diagrams,

Any footnotes, appendices are not included in page limit.
Bibliographies, reference

Uploading your submission
• Unless specifically instructed otherwise in the assessment document, please upload your work as a
single file via the submission link on Moodle.
o Wherever possible you should type/use Excel (as appropriate) for your answers and follow
instructions later in this assessment document.
o If you do have to include any elements that are not typed/computer generated (e.g. figures,
diagrams, equations etc.) as instructed by your module leader, please follow the advice for
submitting handwritten answers for any submission that requires scanning documents. (The
webpage refers to 24-hour timed exams but is applicable to this assessment).
o If you are unable to type your answers for medical reasons, please contact Student Support
and Wellbeing to arrange a SORA and notify your programme administrator.
o If for any reason you are not able to use the app recommended by ISD at the link above, you
can consult the following resources for advice about preparing your submission:
Submitting handwritten assignments to Moodle using mobile or tablet Devices -
Device Camera
Submitting handwritten assignments to Moodle using mobile or tablet devices - MS
One Drive App
• Please DOUBLE CHECK that the file you are uploading is the correct one and is complete (with all
pages visible). You should only submit your final version of the work to the submission box. Once the
original deadline has passed, any submission made to the official submission box will be taken as
the final submission. Work submitted after the original submission deadline will NOT be removed
and a new version cannot be submitted. If you wish to check your work before submitting your final
version, you can use the Turnitin Drafts Checker rather than your official submission inbox. Please be
sure that the version of the assignment you submit is the version you intend to be marked for that
module. If you are granted ECs in relation to a piece of work already submitted, the mitigation
applied will be a deferral and not an extension. If you are unable to submit on time, you may submit
an EC form to request an extension if you have legitimate mitigating circumstances.

Technical Problems

email) your department (Programme Administrators ONLY), explaining the problem and including a copy of
the work you are trying to submit. ONLY use this approach if you can show that you have tried to download
from/upload to Moodle and encountered technical difficulties.

when fulfilling the requirements of each section:

• The credibility and viability of the evidenced conclusions/recommendations/plans of
action you put forward;

the Harvard OR Vancouver referencing system (see References, Citations and
Avoiding Plagiarism)

Section E: Groupwork Instructions
This is a team assignment. Each team should submit a pdf version report in Moodle. The
report should contain your answers/arguments and will be graded. Please also prepare
Powerpoint slides that summarize your findings. You don't have to submit the Powerpoint
slides in Moodle. In class, I may randomly select one or two teams to present their
Powerpoint slides.
This assignment is due at 10am on 4th March, 2021. See the assignment instructions here
and data here.
You'll need to use the Black-Scholes formula to calculate option prices and implied volatility.
To make your life easy, here I provide two useful Excel add-ins: optall3.xla and
optbasic3.xla. Please put the add-ins to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\Library"
and then install the two add-ins. To install the add-ins, open any Excel spreadsheet --> file -
-> options --> add-ins --> choose "Excel add-ins" in the bottom box and click "go" -->
browse and choose the two add-ins at the path where you put them --> click "ok".
These add-ins are provided in a CD published with the "McDonald" textbook (Derivatives
Markets, Third Edition, Robert L. McDonald, Addison Wesley, Copyright 2013) and are thus
intended for educational, non-commercial use. Neither the author nor publisher represent
these spreadsheets as suitable for any purpose other than to help you learn the material in
the text.
