GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| In-class participation | Active participation in class and engaging in various workshop activities will contribute 20% towards students' final marks. To earn the full 20% of the final mark, students are expected to attend and actively participate in the in-class activities by completing 80% of the proposed tasks. | 20% |
| Group work | This group assignment is designed to encourage collaborative learning and critical analysis of fundamental concepts in international economics. Students will work together in a team of 2 or 3 members to explore how comparative advantage influences global trade dynamics. Each group is required to create clear, informative presentation slides and submit a video recording of their presentation lasting approximately 15 minutes on Moodle. The presentation should effectively combine economic theory, visual aids (including graphs), and relevant data to support their analysis and findings. Friday 13th June 2025 by 5pm | 30% |
| Final report | The final report will be based on one of three academic papers, which will be allocated randomly to students during the last lecture on Monday, 23rd June. Each student will receive a different paper, and the report must be completed individually. Students are expected to demonstrate both analytical and qualitative skills developed throughout the module. The report will be assessed according to the following criteria:
• Relevance and connection to course content: Has the student correctly identified and applied the theories and models discussed in the assigned paper and throughout the module?
• Understanding and application of key concepts: Does the student demonstrate a solid grasp of the economic principles, theories, and skills covered in the course?
• Comprehensiveness and analytical depth: Does the response address all aspects of the assigned questions, and is it analytical rather than merely descriptive?
• Clarity and precision of explanation: Has the student clearly and consistently articulated economic concepts and theories in a coherent manner?

ACADEMIC HONESTY
As stated in the university catalog, any student who commits an act of academic
dishonesty will receive a failing grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred.
In addition, acts of academic dishonesty, irrespective of the weight of the assignment,
may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. Instances of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student
who is reported twice for academic dishonesty is subject to summary dismissal from
the University. In such a case, the Academic Council will then make a recommendation
to the President, who will make the final decision.
