| | | | Excellent | Competent | Fair | Poor | Unacceptable |
| Introduction and Writing Style: Exhibits effective content and writing, including APA. Provides a clear definition of unemployment and inflation as well as a clear overview of the current unemployment and inflation status.

| | | | 20–25 Points | 15–20 Points | 10-15 Points | 5–10 Points | 0–5 Points |
| Data: Appropriate level of content and data was used and data was current, relevant, and sufficient. Analysis and synthesis skills were applied to include a broad range of material, connecting theory with real data and/or experiences (COs E and F). | 40 | | Sufficient historical and current data obtained from credible sources | Current data obtained from credible sources, but data does not address all variables | Data does not address all required macroeconomic variables | Data does not address all required macroeconomic variables and data are not current | Does not address the required macroeconomic variables |
| | | | 35–40 Points | 30–35 Points | 25 –30 Points | 20 –25 Points | 0–20 Points |
| Analysis: The creative process was applied where student formulated an identified challenge and was able to draw conclusions to develop scholarly thinking about problem or concept assigned (COs F and H). | 35 | | Sufficient analysis of trends and causes of changes in all required variables | Sufficient analysis of trends and causes of changes in some required variables | Lacks clarity and does not highlight causes of changes in required variables | Does not provide clear and cohesive analysis of trends and does not address causes of changes in variables | Does not provide analysis of required macroeconomic variables |
| | | | 30–35 Points | 25–30 Points | 20 –25 Points | 15 –20 Points | 0–15 Points |
| Reflection and Critical Thinking: Case study shows critical thinking through the application of concepts learned in the module (CO F). | 30 | | Shows critical thinking through the application of concepts learned in the module | Shows critical thinking through the application of concepts learned in the module but does not fully link variables to each other | Shows some understanding of variables but lacks clarity and cohesiveness in relating those variables to one another | Provides some idea about the variables but lacks understanding of their relationship and effect on one another | Does not demonstrate understanding of required variables |
| | | | 25–30 Points | 20-25 Points | 15–20 Points | 10–15 Points | 0–10 Points |
| Solution: Clear and relevant solutions provided that demonstrate understanding of macroeconomic variables and macroeconomic polices (COs E and F). | 30 | | Includes a strong, original central idea that provides a unified trajectory of inquiry and analysis that is sustained throughout | Includes a central idea with few tangents and diversions that unifies the argument but lacks clarity or creativity | Attempts to form a cohesive idea but lacks concrete focus and unification of key components | Has no unifying central idea to link key components of the argument together | Does not address this competency |
| | | | 25–30 Points | 20-25 Points | 15–20 Points | 10–15 Points | 0–10 Points |
