Criteria for Grading:
1) Correct and complete analysis
2) Clarity of exposition to the chosen audience
3) Interpretation and assessment of your article
Examples of things that you shouldn’t do:
| The marginal propensity to consume is one for a permanent change in income. | Marginal propensity to consume is jargon |
| The production function shifts to the left. | Production function is jargon and this is “talking graphs.” |
| The new technology increases labor demand. | This sentence fails to give a reason why labor demand increases. Instead write something like: The new technology makes workers more productive and as a result companies will want to hire more employees. This sentence avoids the jargon “labor demand”, and asserts that companies hire more workers because the workers are going to be more productive. |
These examples are far from exhaustive!
