Assignment :Due at the start of your Lecture in Week
11.
Topic
Electricity prices
This assignment is an assessment worth 25%. All
assignments must be accompanied by a student’s own Cover
Page containing the student’s name,
student ID, unit name, tutorial day and time, and tutor’s name. Students
should allow a 2 to 3 week marking turnaround for written
assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to keep
electronic copies of their assignment. The
assignment must also be submitted to ‘Turnitin’—instructions are
on Blackboard. That is, please submit BOTH an electronic
copy via Blackboard and a signed hardcopy of your
essay to your tutor. Thanks.
You are to select an article for economic analysis—with
an option of possibly choosing from the topics
as specified by your Tutor: [Your tutor will inform you
about the random selection method.] The article
relates to one or more of the topics (chapters) covered
in the lecture program, namely the
microeconomics and macroeconomics topics.
You are to apply your economic theory to explain and
analyse the article. Refer to the ‘An inside look’
section at the end of each chapter in the textbook for
examples. The assignment should be
approximately 1800- 2000 words in length and include
well-labelled diagrams. A copy of the article
showing date and source is to be included with the
analysis.
I would suggest that you present your assignment as a
report – include an executive summary page,
introduction, economic concepts/theories to be applied,
analysis, conclusion and references.
An important part of assignment writing is to correctly
reference the sources of information that you have
used. Correctly referencing your work will help to avoid
plagiarism. Plagiarism means presenting the
work or property of another person as one’s own, without
appropriate acknowledgement or referencing
(the copying of other people’s work and/or ideas).
Plagiarism is a form of cheating. The penalty for
plagiarism is a mark of zero and possible expulsion from
the unit and/or course of study.

Some examples for MAJOR ESSAY TOPICS
Here is a list of examples of the topics that you can
work on for your assignment. You may choose any topic from the list but don’t
restrict yourself to just these topics / articles.
The instructions on how to write the assignment and
how to submit it are in unit outline; however in addition see below a few more
instruction.
1.
You can decide to choose a
topic of your own and the list below will provide you with examples of the
issues you should be looking at but again feel free to consider other issues
that you may particularly interested in and
think can relate to what we are studying in Economic principles. Please
check with your tutor the topic/ article first to see that it is suitable.
2.
Since the essay has to have a
range of references you will need to research other
articles that are on the same topic.
3.
In writing the essay you MUST
include some QUOTES from the various
articles. These are taken word for word from the article and are put in your
essay in inverted commas. You would then write your comments and explanations
about the quotes you have used.
4.
In week 8 you should give your
tutor an outline of the essay (a maximum of 1 page). The outline should give
detail of the main points, what data and diagrams you are going to use and
especially detail about the Conclusions you are going to explain (See the unit
outline to understand what needs to be in the Conclusions – and what is NOT to
be included as a conclusion – take SPECIAL care with this to see you have put
the correct material in your Conclusions section. If you are not very clear
about what is required then ask your tutor. The outline is more than a plan and
should be a full page of information.
