Written Assessment ECO10004 Economic Principles
Part A – Introduction
Due Date – See Blackboard under the assessment tab
Please do not attach a coversheet to your assignment. Also,
do not include a copy of the questions in your assignment.
You can insert pictures in your document but they must be
low resolution pictures. If your file is larger than 1 to 2 MB
then convert your file to pdf and upload this into turnitin.
We strongly encourage you to work with your tutor and your
fellow students, however, you must submit your own work in
your words. If we find significant overlap between answers
provided by different students, then all students fail that
question. Don’t share completed answers with others.
Marking Scheme and word count
• The total marks for the written assessment is 50 and represents 50% of
your total mark for the unit. Part A is worth 12; Part B is worth 20 and
Part C is worth 18.
• Each question is worth either 1, 2 or 4 marks as indicated (at the end of
each question).
• A word count is set for each question (at the end of each question). You
must ensure your answer is below the word count. Anything written
after the word count has been exceeded will not count towards your
answer.
Work with your tutor and your fellow students
The Written assessment is worth 50 marks (50% of total assessment in the unit). It is also the main
learning tool in the unit. It is very important that you work with your tutor and your fellow students
when completing this assignment. Tutors will look at your work in the tutorial and tell you where
you are wrong.
Referencing for the written assessment
If you are using the textbook or the lecture notes to answer questions you do not need to reference
this but you do need to use your own words – not exactly what is in the text. If you are using
something other than the text or the lecture notes then a reference using a footnote will be fine.
Turnitin submission process
You must submit your assignment through turnitin. I have provided a link to a web help page below:
