- Do not throw out jargons. Explain with simple language.
- Use narratives to present thoughts and discussions. The essay should not be a bullet list of concepts, equations, and theories.
- You may agree or disagree with what the textbook or course material says. That is why the writing should not be a summary of the textbook. Instead, it should be your reflection on the chosen topic from the perspective of investor or financial decision maker.
