Turnitin®
The University licenses the text matching software (Turnitin®) that may be used to screen student assignments. The following text must appear in all course outlines:
Turnitin.com: Text matching software (Turnitin®) may be used to screen assignments in this course. Turnitin® is used to verify that all materials and sources in assignments are documented. Students’ submissions are stored on a U.S. server, therefore students must be given an alternative (e.g., scaffolded assignment or annotated bibliography), if they are concerned about their privacy and/or security. Students will be given due notice, in the first week of the term and/or at the time assignment details are provided, about arrangements and alternatives for the use of Turnitin® in this course.
It is responsibility of the student to notify the instructor if they, in the first week of term or at the time assignment details are provided, wish to submit the alternate assignment.

Milestones
- Students receive $1,000,000 CAD in a virtual brokerage account and they use this cash during their study to manage a portfolio which includes stocks, bonds, options, futures, currencies, and other securities from over 55 exchanges in over 30 countries. Students will be required to trade various securities, engage in various trading strategies and portfolio allocation strategies. Each milestone comes with explicit deliverables that students must submit electronically and meet to receive credit. The first milestone cannot be completed before eight months from the date of their first trade has elapsed. The last milestone must be completed in the student’s final 4B term, not less than two months prior to the end of the term. No milestone can be submitted within six months of the most recent milestone submission date.
