Guidelines:
1. Your assignment should have an introduction (where you briefly lay out the problem you are about to analyse), a main portion (where you do the analysis), and a conclusion.
2. Your assignment must be presented in prose form. You may use the first person if you wish.
3. This is an economics assignment. You need to use economic theory in your answer.
4. Style does count. If I cannot clearly understand what you are trying to communicate to me, I cannot accurately assess how well you understand the material. Having said that, please feel free to use your style guide of choice.
5. I expect you to use at least one source beyond those included on your course outline and reading list. The source may be electronic, but may not be Wikipedia, and must be referenced in-text and in attached referencing page accordingly.
