For my year 11 yearlies I got 20/20 on the first essay and 9/20 for the second essay.
The second essay was on the factors affecting the price elasticity of demand, and I did my essay on the factors affecting demand.
*palm to forehead x 1 000 000 000 000 000*
At least it was only a year 11 yearly. My teacher said I probably would have got 18-19 for it, apart from the fact that I wrote about the wrong factors.
My 9 marks came from defining/explaining the price elasticity of demand.
wooooo.
We just got our first assessment for Year 12 Economics 2009.
* Research an economy other than Australia
* Describe the impact that globalisation has had on the economy
* Critically evaluate the strategies this economy has implemented to promote economic growth and economic development.
It's an odd task structure...an open-book exam.
I've never had one before.
It's set out like a normal assignment, but we have to do all our research and then bring it to class where we spend 50 minutes writing the essay.
I was going to do China...but the U.S. would be really relevant at the moment. And if I only have 50 minutes I'd rather pick a smaller economy like Norway/Luxemburg/Sweden and go in depth.
Meh. It's 9 weeks away, hahahah.
