Course Code: BBA 550 Credit Units: 06

GUIDELINES FOR INTERNSHIP FILE

There are certain phases of every Intern’s professional development that cannot be effectively taught in the
academic environment. These facets can only be learned through direct, on-the-job experience working with
successful professionals and experts in the field. The internship program can best be described as an attempt to
institutionalise efforts to bridge the gap between the professional world and the academic institutions. Entire effort
in internship is in terms of extending the program of education and evaluation beyond the classroom of a university
or institution. The educational process in the internship course seeks out and focuses attention on many latent
attributes, which do not surface in the normal class room situations. These attributes are intellectual ability,
professional judgment and decision making ability, inter-disciplinary approach, skills for data handling, ability in
written and oral presentation, sense of responsibility etc.

In order to achieve these objectives, each student will maintain a file (Internship File). The Internship File aims
to encourage students to keep a personal record of their learning and achievement throughout the Programme. It
can be used as the basis for lifelong learning and for job applications. Items can be drawn from activities completed
in the course modules and from the workplace to demonstrate learning and personal development.

The File will assess the student’s analytical skills and ability to present supportive evidence, whilst demonstrating
understanding of their organization, its needs and their own personal contribution to the organization.

The layout guidelines for the Internship File

• A4 size Paper
• font: Arial (10 points) or Times New Roman (12 points)
• line spacing: 1.5
• top and bottom margins: 1 inch/ 2.5 cm; left and right margins: 1.25 inches/ 3 cm

The File will include five sections in the order described below. The content and comprehensiveness of the main
body and appendices of the report should include the following:

1. The Title Page--Title - An Internship Experience Report For (Your Name), name of internship organization,
name of the Supervisor/Guide and his/her designation, date started and completed, and number of credits for
which the report is submitted.
2. Table of Content--an outline of the contents by topics and subtopics with the page number and location of
each section.
3. Introduction--short, but should include how and why you obtained the internship experience position and the
relationship it has to your professional and career goals.
4. Main Body--should include but not be limited to daily tasks performed. Major projects contributed to, dates,
hours on task, observations and feelings, meetings attended and their purposes, listing of tools and materials and
their suppliers, and photographs if possible of projects, buildings and co-workers.
5. Appendices--include pamphlets, forms, charts, brochures, technical and descriptive literature, graphs and other
information related to your Internship experience.

The Main Body will have three sections and will include the following items which will be evaluated for the final
assessment:-

1. An analysis of the company/organization in which the student is working

2. A personal review of the student’s management skills and how they have been developed through the
programme.
3. The research report that the student has prepared on the project assigned to him by the organization.
(Incase a student is not assigned a specific research project in the organization, he has to select any one
aspect of the organization and prepare a research report on it).

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNSHIP FILE

The student will be provided with the Student Assessment Record (SAR) to be placed in front of the Internship
File. Each item in the SAR is ticked off when it is completed successfully. The faculty will also assess each item
as it is completed. The SAR will be signed by the student and by the faculty to indicate that the File is the student’s
own work. It will also ensure regularity and meeting the dealines.

 DISSERTATION

Course Code: BBA 655 Credit Units: 09

The Aims of the Dissertation

The aim of the dissertation is to provide you with an opportunity to further your intellectual and personal
development in your chosen field by undertaking a significant practical unit of activity, having an educational
value at a level commensurate with the award of your degree

The dissertation can be defined as a scholarly inquiry into a problem or issues, involving a systematic approach
to gathering and analysis of information / data, leading to production of a structured report.

The Dissertation Topic

It is usual to give you some discretion in the choice of topic for the dissertation and the approach to be adopted.
You will need to ensure that your dissertation is related to your field of specialisation.

Deciding this is often the most difficult part of the dissertation process, and perhaps, you have been thinking of a
topic for some time.

It is important to distinguish here between ‘dissertation topic’ and ‘dissertation title’. The topic is the specific area
that you wish to investigate. The title may not be decided until the dissertation has been written so as to reflect its
content properly.

Few restrictions are placed on the choice of the topic. Normally we would expect it to be:
relevant to business, defined broadly;
related to one or more of the subjects or areas of study within the core program and specialisation stream;
clearly focused so as to facilitate an in-depth approach, subject to the availability of adequate sources of
information and to your own knowledge;
of value and interest to you and your personal and professional development.

Planning your dissertation

This will entail following:
• Selecting a topic for investigation.
• Establishing the precise focus of your study by deciding on the aims and objectives of the dissertation, or
formulating questions to be investigated. Consider very carefully what is worth investigating and its feasibility.
• Drawing up initial dissertation outlines considering the aims and objectives of the dissertation. Workout
various stages of dissertation
• Devising a timetable to ensure that all stages of dissertation are completed in time. The timetable should
include writing of the dissertation and regular meetings with your dissertation guide.

The dissertation plan or outline

It is recommended that you should have a dissertation plan to guide you right from the outset. Essentially, the
dissertation plan is an outline of what you intend to do, chapter wise and therefore should reflect the aims and
objectives of your dissertation.

There are several reasons for having a dissertation plan

• It provides a focus to your thoughts.
• It provides your faculty-guide with an opportunity, at an early stage of your work, to make constructive
comments and help guide the direction of your research.
• The writing of a plan is the first formal stage of the writing process, and therefore helps build up your
confidence.
• In many ways, the plan encourages you to come to terms with the reading, thinking and writing in a systematic
and integrated way, with plenty of time left for changes.
• Finally, the dissertation plan generally provides a revision point in the development of your dissertation report
in order to allow appropriate changes in the scope and even direction of your work as it progresses.

Keeping records
This includes the following:

• Making a note of everything you read; including those discarded.

• Ensuring that when recording sources, author’s name and initials, date of publication, title, place of publication
and publisher are included. (You may consider starting a card index or database from the outset). Making an
accurate note of all quotations at the time you read them.
• Make clear what is a direct a direct quotation and what is your paraphrase.

Dissertation format
All students must follow the following rules in submitting their dissertation.
• Front page should provide title, author, Name of degree/diploma and the date of submission.
• Second page should be the table of contents giving page references for each chapter and section.
• The next page should be the table of appendices, graphs and tables giving titles and page references.
• Next to follow should be a synopsis or abstract of the dissertation (approximately 500 words) titled: Executive
Summary.
• Next is the ‘acknowledgements’.
• Chapter I should be a general introduction, giving the background to the dissertation, the objectives of the
dissertation, the rationale for the dissertation, the plan, methodological issues and problems. The limitations
of the dissertation should also be hinted in this chapter.
• Other chapters will constitute the body of the dissertation. The number of chapters and their sequence will
usually vary depending on, among others, on a critical review of the previous relevant work relating to your
major findings, a discussion of their implications, and conclusions, possibly with a suggestion of the direction
of future research on the area.
• After this concluding chapter, you should give a list of all the references you have used. These should be cross
- references with your text. For articles from journals, the following details are required e.g.

Draper P and Pandyal K. 1991, The Investment Trust Discount Revisited, Journal of Business Finance and
Accounting, Vol18, No6, Nov, pp 791-832.

For books, the following details are required:

Levi, M. 1996, International Financial Management, Prentice Hall, New York, 3rd Ed, 1996

• Finally, you should give any appendices. These should only include relevant statistical data or material that
cannot be fitted into the above categories.

Guidelines for the assessment of the dissertation

While evaluating the dissertation, faculty guide will consider the following aspects:

Has the student made a clear statement of the objective or objective(s).

If there is more than one objective, do these constitute parts of a whole?
Has the student developed an appropriate analytical framework for addressing the problem at hand.
Is this based on up-to-date developments in the topic area?
Has the student collected information / data suitable to the frameworks?
Are the techniques employed by the student to analyse the data / information appropriate and relevant?
Has the student succeeded in drawing conclusion form the analysis?
Do the conclusions relate well to the objectives of the project?
