rask on financial planning: (Long term goals) -t0 i C.
~ •~
e.
. :…..U
The foundation for investing starts with proper financial planning, setting goals, estabhshmg a budget,
gathering financial records and knowing our net-worth. That’s why setting up goals, creating and following a
financial plan with our goals in mind is very important. The decision to save is a short- term goal, but it’s one
that can help us to achieve our long-term goals. A long-term goal is something we want to achieve further, it
requires time and planning. So, the chances of achieving the most important long-term goals are better
when we set short-term goals that help us to achieve the set long term goals. The long-term goals that we
set in our life could be money to be invested in education, buy a house, invest in shares/market securities,
start a business, and so on. Based on this scenario, you are required to prepare an academic poster on the
following points:
I.

Identify and explain two long-term goals that you could set and achieve in the future
Choose and explain the role of financial institution existing in the Sultanate of Oman to meet your

Plagiarism
Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or
ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by
copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further
examples of plagiarism are given below:
1.
Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whe th er
published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not been
clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged.
Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make it
look differentfrom the original.
Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes
without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list.
Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies.
Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.
Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department.
Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is
2.
submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work of
one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of the
originator both parties can be considered to be at fault.
3.
Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or
other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way.
Plagiarism Detection Software {PDS)
As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University reserves
the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes no judgment
as to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that have been found
in other sources.
The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning (i.e. as
a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment.
further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism Detection
Software.
