@aaack i think both. we'll get them back and a mark will be put up not really sure tho

@sadboy222 if 1150 includes your cover page, im pretty sure its ok. besides, graph labels and stuff dont count so yea. its effectively below 1100 words

Where specifically does this mark get put up online?

[aaackk]

my tutor said we just collect it back in our tutes in about 2 weeks time. for those with tutes on thursday, you will need to go see the subject coordinator any day that week to pick it up. the subject coordinator is only in her office 4-5pm or something though

Hey guys, for Part B of the assignment do we just make up our own economic activity? Or does it have to be economic activity that has occurred i.e. something in an article online that we have to base it upon? Thanks in advance!

[sadboy222]

yea does anyone know how to do part B? i seriously have no idea where to start/what to do?

i have read it 10 times.

I am fairly sure that you have to reference the article that you got your idea from (I read this on the online tutor page), so yes, it would be an existing economic event.

Also, jeez you guys are cutting it close, I would personally struggle with doing this on top of Mother's Day stuff

[sadboy222]

looks like ill just have to hand in Part A

what a joke part B is terribly worded and the online tutor 'dosnt answer questions' on the weekend

terrible stuff

please explain how you do part B

1. Pick an event. Read up online on something that sounds interesting or counter-intuitive (it doesn't have to be, it can be completely ordinary, like gold prices increasing, or whatever, but y'know, doing an interesting topic will probably be more exciting than something straightforward, and there's more to write about too).
2. Use that article as a starting point to discuss why the event occurred. e.g. The US Government prevented Microsoft from merging with Company X because it would have generated too much market power in the computer market (I recommend not copying this one, because it's an example in the textbook. You get my point though, right?). Use supply-demand curves wherever applicable (maybe not in the Microsoft example, but if you're analysing something that can be expressed using these curves, go for it!).
3. Submit on Monday, wait for your 30/30
