As a marker do you usually take off the whole 6 marks in a 6 marker question when a student misreads which sources to refer to or do you give 1 mark for using own knowledge?

Would you lose the whole 6 marks if you used the wrong sources for the 6 marker but answered the question predominantly based on own knowledge with 3 or 4 references to the sources? Yeah I know I screwed up WWI, I just need to find out how screwed I am :(

Re: Paragraph Length - Should I split each concept over two paragraphs, two texts eac Well length has never been an issue for me before but my essay don't integrate texts so my structure's basically: Para 1&2 (Text 1) Para 3&4 (Related Text 1) Para 4&5 (Text 2) Para 5&6 (Related Text 2)

Hi I did MacArthur but all my notes are from my teacher If you want historiography etc you can visit JSTOR and create an account and search "Douglas MacArthur" and there will be archives of historians' notes on Mac, etc

Does anyone know if the HSC economics markers mark your short answers if you write over the allocated lines? Because I used separate booklets for the 5 markers (my handwriting's medium to large in exams) but for the 2 and 3 markers I just wrote over the dotted lines and a friend who did her...

lol don't stress about it because I think they'll be pretty impressed with how much of the course you covered and how you were able to make the links between exchange rates and external stability and current account and all that stuff. I've never even heard of the Marshall-Lerner condition...

Yeah sorry, I'm gonna remember to reply with quote from now on Honestly, by the way you described how you wrote your essay, it's actually pretty detailed and covered a lot of issues so I reckon you'll end up doing pretty well although you didn't answer the question :)

I think that for your essay as long as you wrote something about the influences on demand and supply of $A (investment opportunities/interest rates/demand for exports/global eco conditions/consumer tastes and preferences) and if it's well written you should still get a 15/20. Because I did the...

My teacher said it would probably be on Allied Occupation of Japan, Allied Strategies or the reasons for the outbreak of war but I don't know, modern's unpredictable :(

I did fiscal and exchange rates but for fiscal I talked about automatic stabilisers, changes in revenue/expenditure and it's impacts and linked external stability and inflation in it somehow (I forget how, the essay was a bit messy) and also talked about the necessity of a macroeconomic mix to...

I put D as well and I don't really get why it's C, wouldn't increasing factor market competition increase unemployment rate rather than decrease it? Good job on getting one wrong, I got 5 or 6 wrong from the answers posted up here

ok but if there's an increase in demand for the $A wouldn't that result in a decreased supply of $A as shown in the graph? with the $A appreciating from 0.60 to 0.70 US? I don't really understand your reasoning for it being C but you're probably right

with the disadvantage of a bilateral trade agreement could you have said that bilateral trade agreements only facilitate free trade between the two countries in the agreement but imposes trade barriers to other countries not in the bilateral agreement such as higher protection levels as...

Yeah well that explains it, the 2010 HSC paper for eco was ridiculous!

Is the answer A) Food? What I did was get the CPI% as a decimal (i.e. for food 0.3) then get the CPI as a decimal from the base year so for food (1.1) then I did 0.3/1.1 Do that for Health, Housing and Clothing as well and I think (A)'s the right answer?
