Economics Stage 1
Assessment Type 2: Economic Project

School assessment

The Economics economic project is assessed by the school.

For a 10-credit subject, students undertake one individual economic project.

For a 20-credit subject, students undertake two individual economic projects. Students conduct an analysis of an economic question or issue. They apply economic thinking to analyse economic information and construct reasoned arguments. Students collect and analyse quantitative and qualitative data of an economic question or issue. They collect and analyse economic information such as statistics, graphs, journals, newspapers, official reports, case studies, film, cartoons, and articles. Each economic project should be a maximum of 1000 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.
