Economics Blog-C1 Inter-CT Competition
Hello 09S7E! Welcome to our very own Economics blog! The blog is open to everybody in our class to contribute, though there are certain regulations to follow as stated below:
1. All entires need to be original and not a duplicate of any print, otherwise, state the source of the entry and acknowledge the writer/author concerned
2. No obscene, offensive and indecent content containing raicial or ethnic slurs, explicit language or sexual content must be published
If you're wondering what you can blog about, here are some suggestions:
1. Review of interesting economic articles from journals/internet
2. Economic jokes/cartoons that illustrate certain economic concepts
3. Video clips depicting certain economic concepts
4. Q & A's "forum-like" postings on views and comments that are economics related among class members
5. Any other relevant economic postings that will enhance the class's blog (i.e. ILP work, essays etc)
Do note that this competition will take place between 23 March 2009 to 28 June 2009. The judging criteria is as follows:
1. Content relevance (application of concepts): 60%
*Foe an eg, pls visit this blog created by C2 during last year's humanities week: http://hcc2econs.blogspot.com
2. Active and Consistent class participation: 30%
* Econs reps will roster students to participate in this blog. If every student participates once, the class will get 20%, thus the remaining 10% would be reserved for classes with participation rate of more than that.
**This component will also contribute to your INDIVIDUAL CLASS PARTICIPATION MARKS WHICH IS PART OF YOUR CONTINUAL ASSESSMENT
3.Creative use of multimedia (eg flash/music/photographs): 10%
*Please ensure that the use of multimedia is not as the expense of navigation ease
Impt: Judging of the blog competition is NOT a one-time event but a series of on-going 8 weeks of assessment by Mrs Ip (i.e 23rd March-28 June 2009)
Now for the exciting prizes to be won! (:
