ECON1310 MOSS Book Marking Guide for Lecture 5 (L5) and Lecture 6 (L6)

Marking Criteria Mark

1. The real world context chosen for L5 and L6 is relevant to a young Squirrels and nuts works well. Nice
child (8 to 12 years old), and is: thinking. However, 1 mark deducted
a. realistic, clear, and used in both MOSS Book pages (2 marks). as the variable (weight) is not made
b. partly clear or not used in both MOSS Book pages (1 mark). fully clear nor consistently applied
c. unclear and not used in both MOSS Book pages (0 marks). across BOTH pages.

2. The MOSS Book story character(s)/object(s) are relevant to a young

child (8 to 12 years old), and: Chapter 5, squirrel = character and
a. at least one character AND one object are created for BOTH the nut = object. OK
L5 and L6 MOSS Book pages (2 marks).
b. some characters AND objects are created for BOTH the L5 and L6 Chapter 6, your ….. = character
MOSS Book pages, but does not meet the minimum requirement and sack of nuts = object (OK)
outlined in a. above (1 mark).
c. no characters AND no objects are created that are relevant for BOTH
the L5 and L6 MOSS Book pages (0 marks)

3. Story creation for L5 (Normal Distribution) is relevant to a young The variable “weight” of a nut is not

a. the story is clear, addresses the key concepts of the normal integrates ideas around the normal
distribution presented in L5. The story is presented using distribution of a variable with the
paragraphs, comic strip layout, or any other layout, and integrates characters in a way that is
the chosen character(s) and object(s), does not use mathematical mearningful and would make sense
equations/symbols/terms. Uses A4 page (p1) and between 100 to to a child. ie: the application of the
200 words (2 marks). object to the variable is not clear.
b. the story is unclear, partially addresses the key concepts of the Good creative effort overall though.
normal distribution, exceeds the word limit, uses mathematical
equations/symbols/terms, or the application of the
character(s)/object(s) is unclear (1 mark). 1/2
c. there is no obvious story, does not adequately address the key
concepts of the normal distribution, no application of the
character(s)/object(s), or the word length is less than required (0
marks).
4. Story creation for L6 (Sampling Distribution) is relevant to a young Partly see what you have done here.

equations/symbols/terms, or the application of the understanding of sampling
character(s)/object(s) is unclear (1 mark). distribution as a result is unclear.
a. there is no obvious story, does not adequately address the key
concepts of the sampling distribution, no application of the 0/2
character(s)/object(s), or the word length is less than required (0
marks).
5. Flow of both MOSS Book pages (p1 and p2): Mostly clear here. The choice of
a. demonstrates a clear understanding of linkages between variable is what made the linkage of
concepts presented in L5 and L6 through the ideas a bit hard to follow.
character(s)/object(s) (2 marks). Hence, the flow is not a good as it
b. demonstrates limited understanding of linkages between concepts could have been
presented in L5 and L6 through character(s)/object(s) used (1 mark).
c. There is no clear linkages between the stories and concepts,
character(s)/object(s) presented in L5 and L6 (0 marks).
