Module Learning Outcomes:
This assignment is designed to assess the following module learning outcomes. Your submission will be marked using the Grading Criteria given in the section below.
LO 1. Identify appropriate technique(s) from a broad range of approaches, including non- standard ones, to evaluate economic problems;
LO 2. Review a selected economic topic from a broad historical, philosophical and ethical perspective;
LO 3. Present economic data and information using a variety of approaches and a range of
different media, demonstrating the development of students’ academic skills. Assignment:
• You should aim for five (5) minutes. Six and a half minutes is the absolute
maximum. This is a limit, not a target. In the same way as baggage allowances on planes are.
• Should begin with you stating your statement. Explaining what you mean by it briefly. Motivating why it’s important and interesting.
• You should then present arguments for and against your statement. This will
draw on a literature review although you may both decide to also include arguments you have developed yourself based on your knowledge of Economics, and otherwise.
• Should finish with a closing statement for both arguments.
• Should be accompanied by a typed transcript.

Ethical Use of Generative AI (GenAI)
You are permitted to use GenAI to support your submission for this assessment. You may use it for the following activities:
• Researching and refining your ideas
• Helping to structure your video.
• Information retrieval or background research
• Drafting an outline to organise or summarise your thoughts
• Refining research questions
• Checking spelling and grammar
Applying GenAI tools should be done with human oversight and control. You should
carefully review and use the results carefully as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, uncritical, or biased.
