Student is required to select one topic and perform a comprehensive review. Student is required to submit a review paper on selected topic before Oct 14. A good review paper is expected to be 7000-9000 words plus figures and tables. A student can either conduct an in-depth review of 3-5 journal papers with calculation and analysis or a broad general review of more than 15 articles on a specific topic. The file must be in word format and submitted through ELMS turnitin.
A sample outline of the review paper on Bidding and Award is as follows
