The ACCT 332 Week 4 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Work through the Research Paper Abstract and Outline calculations or software steps first and save the output. The written part interprets those numbers, so they have to be right before you explain them.
Show the method
Say which method, formula or test you used and why it fits the question. Graders want to see that the choice was deliberate.
Report the results plainly
Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Translate the numbers into a conclusion about the question. Say what decision they support and how confident you can be.
Name the limits
Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Submit every file requested and check that formulas, output and the write-up agree (A 100-word abstract and a 1 to 2-page outline).
