This document outlines a 4-level marking scheme for economics essays, ranging from basic knowledge/recognition to in-depth elaboration and analysis. Level 1 involves merely identifying or outlining key factors without explanation. Level 2 adds some detail and application through explanation with examples. Level 3 extends to analysis using relevant theory to aid explanation and applying the explanation to the question context. The highest level, Level 4, demonstrates thorough knowledge and the ability to describe, explain, analyze and evaluate in a precise, logical manner with new illustrations as evidence of understanding. Full marks can be awarded when clear analysis, rich illustration and considered evaluation are provided given time constraints.
