Stage 1
Assessment Type 1: Folio
The Economics folio is assessed by the school.
The folio should consist of a balanced program of tasks that assess the skills, knowledge, and understanding of Stage 1 Economics.
Students demonstrate application of their understanding of economic concepts, principles, and models in a variety of known and unknown contexts. They apply their inquiry skills and analyse qualitative and quantitative data to present economic arguments.
For a 10-credit subject, students undertake two folio tasks. The two tasks together should comprise a maximum of 1800 words if written, or the equivalent in oral or multimodal form, where 6 minutes is equivalent to 1000 words.
For a 20-credit subject, students undertake four folio tasks. The four tasks together should comprise a maximum of 3600 words if written, or the equivalent in oral or multimodal form, where 6 minutes is equivalent to 1000 words.
Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
