ECON1010 CLEAR-JE Marking Rubric
Marking Criteria (* be sure to stay within the word limit guideline indicated) Mark
1. Chosen context: (Guideline*: < 70 words)
a. Uses about two or three sentences to establish a clear context. The context
described establishes a sense of relevance for the required CLEAR-JE
learning materials (1 mark).
b. The context described is clear. However, it does not help to establish a
sense of relevance for the required CLEAR-JE learning materials (0.5 mark).
c. The context described is unclear and does not help establish any sense of
relevance for the required CLEAR-JE learning materials (0 marks).







/1

2. Theoretical concepts/ideas: (Guideline*: 50 - 70 words)
a. Lists two theoretical concepts using dot points. The concepts are directly
related to what was introduced for the first time in the lecture material
relevant to the CLEAR-JE. Concepts are applicable to the established context
(1 mark).
b. Lists only one relevant theoretical concept that is directly related to what
was introduced for the first time in the lecture material relevant to the
CLEAR-JE. Alternatively, the concepts are not clearly applicable to the chosen
context (0.5 mark).
c. Lists no concepts that are directly related to what was introduced for the
first time in the lecture materials relevant to the CLEAR-JE (0 marks).

3. My prior assumptions: (Guideline*: 80 - 100 words)
a. Concisely outlines two or three assumptions that had been made prior to
identifying the learning materials relevant to the CLEAR-JE. The assumptions
make sense in terms of the context described and the chosen theoretical
concepts (2 marks).
b. Does outline two or three assumptions that had been made prior to
identifying the learning materials relevant to the CLEAR-JE, but it is
somewhat difficult to link the assumptions to the context or the identified
theoretical concepts (1 mark).
c. Outlines none or one assumption only made prior to identifying the learning
materials relevant to the CLEAR-JE (0 marks).

4. What I learned: (Guideline*: 130 - 150 words)
a. Concisely conveys learning to satisfy all three requirements: First,
comparisons between prior understanding (perhaps as someone with no
economic background) and new insights from learning to think like an
economist are evident. Second, in making such comparisons, each of the
theoretical concepts listed in section 2 (above) are at the centre of outlining
what was learnt. Third, the linkages between learning and economic thinking
are clearly conveyed through building on the chosen context (3 marks).
b. Compared to a., above, only two of the three requirements are clearly
satisfied (2 marks).
c. Compared to a., above, only one of the three requirements are clearly
satisfied (1 mark).
d. Compared to a., above, none of the three requirements are clearly satisfied
(0 marks).

5. Reflecting on what I learned: (Guideline*: 130 - 150 words)
a. Concisely reflects on what was learnt to satisfy all three requirements: First,
it shows clear connections with the chosen context in section 1 and the
theoretical concepts in section 2. Second, the reflections show an ability to
extend what was learnt more generally (e.g. to a manager, a politician,
parents, friends, workplaces, society, or everyday decision making). Third,
the practical benefit(s) that emerge from the reflection are highlighted and
link to the ideas in section 1 and section 2 (3 marks).
b. Compared to a., above, only two out of the three requirements are clearly
satisfied (2 marks).
c. Compared to a., above, only one out of the three requirements are clearly
satisfied (1 mark).
d. Compared to a,. above, none of the three requirements are clearly satisfied
(0 marks).

TOTAL** /10


* be sure to stay within the word limit guideline indicated.
** Note:
• Each CLEAR-JE contributes a maximum of 10 marks towards a student’s aggregate overall possible
mark out of 50 (using the best 5 out of 6 submissions).
• The Turnitin Marking Rubric used on Blackboard is the same as the rubric above. However, the
marks for each section are scaled up by 10 to give a total mark out of 100. The total mark out of 100
is recorded in My Grades.
• The marks in My Grades for each CLEAR-JE will be scaled back to be out of 10 marks at the end of the
course to calculate the student’s overall mark out of 50 (using the best 5 out of 6 submissions).
Word limits of the CLEAR-JE: The total word limit is 400 - 500 words. Words exceeding the 500-word limit
will be disregarded when marked. Submissions below 400 words will be penalised 1 additional mark. That is,
1 mark will be subtracted from the score obtained, when marking a submission of less than 400 words, after
using the marking rubric above.
Late submissions of CLEAR-JEs are not allowed. If any CLEAR-JE is not submitted by the due date and time,
the student will be awarded zero (0) marks.
