You will need to do much better than re-state the lecture material. In the lectures, you are given an overview of the impact ICT has had on, for example, the Banks. However, in your assignment you must do much more than re-hash lecture material. You must research a particular bank, get some data or statistics and report the results of your research into a particular case.
Be very careful to write in your own words. A cut-and-past from a web-site or publicity brochure or an annual report will constitute plagiarism and be dealt with severely. You may, of course, access such material as part of your research but be sure to write a report structured by you and using your own words.
In text referencing is required along with a full set of references at the end of the report.
