Other Work Samples for:

Bobby has selected a balanced share portfolio and has provided a well-organised and detailed set of tables showing the shares bought and sold over the four weeks. The decisions made were well justified each week, and adopted a clear and well-structured written form. Bobby has demonstrated an extensive range of financial and business concepts and assessed and explained factors influencing their decision-making as well as the maintenance and modification of that decision-making. Some language used needs to be formalised, however. This sample demonstrates independent research and consistent application of decision-making, and it communicates complex ideas and concepts. There is some room for improvement in the relationship between share price movement and environmental factors, as well as in the overall presentation. However, Bobby communicates in appropriate formats, has researched a variety of sources and has succinctly evaluated success or lack of success, using appropriate formats within the time allocated. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade A standard.
