You may, of course, cross-refer to specific articles; it is not expected that you will refer to articles that you do not submit; however, it is envisaged that you may submit numerous articles, even if you have not referred to each of them individually in your summary. Photocopies of articles will be accepted, and may indeed be the most convenient format for submission.<br> <img src="../../../images/dot_clear.gif" hspace="10" width="1" height="1">Articles generated by electronic searches will also be accepted, but you should remember that the purpose of the submission of the report and articles is to furnish evidence that you have been reading the Wall Street Journal - not that you can use a search engine. Your grade will reflect any failure to be convincing.<br> <img src="../../../images/dot_clear.gif" hspace="10" width="1" height="1">Other sources of information may be used in support of what you say in your summary, but this should clearly be in addition to, not instead of, Wall Street Journal articles.<br> <img src="../../../images/dot_clear.gif" hspace="10" width="1" height="1">The following notes on presentation are not intended to stifle your artistic creativity, but are designed to provide a level playing field for all students. You MUST adhere strictly to these word-processing guidelines; there will be significant penalties for non-compliance.
