See Module Three Simulation Eco 202 Southern New
This section serves as a checkpoint to prepare you for your course project. As part of your initial post, download the Project Template and complete at least the Introduction section.
For this discussion, you will play the first run of the Macroeconomics Simulation: Econland (from Harvard Business Review), in which you will act as the chief economic policy advisor for the fictional country of Econland. Select the Base Case scenario for this practice run. You may play the simulation as many times as you like. This will directly support your success in your course project, due in Module Eight.
In your initial post, include an image of your simulation report. (See Module Three Simulation Discussion Screenshot Instructions.) Then address the following:
In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers’ posts. Compare and contrast your simulation experience and outcomes. Did your and your peers’ policy decisions have their intended effects? How did the simulation reveal or contradict your prior assumptions about macroeconomics?
To complete this assignment, review the Module Three Simulation Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.
This is from my stimulation that I did and I have it attached.
I will also need two responses done on classmates. I will extend the time for them because I have to post my initial post first before I can see who has done there discussion to be able to respond to.
Your active participation in the discussions is essential to your overall success this term. The simulation discussions in this course allow you to share your experiences playing simulation games related to the final project simulation. These discussions give you a chance to express your thoughts, ask questions, and gain insights from your peers and instructor.
Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.
For your initial post, you must do the following:
For your two response posts, you must do the following:
Criteria | Proficient (100%) | Needs Improvement (55%) | Not Evident (0%) | Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Initial Post: Timeliness | Develops an initial post that includes simulation image by the indicated time | Initial post does not include simulation image or is not posted by the indicated time | Does not make an initial post | 20 |
Initial Post: Macroeconomic Indicators | Explains how decisions impacted key macroeconomic indicators such as real GDP growth and unemployment, and refers to the graphs “Real GDP Growth” and “Unemployment Rate” to illustrate | Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions | Does not attempt criterion | 20 |
Initial Post: Interest Rates | Explains how changes to interest rates impacted inflation and other key macroeconomic indicators, and refers to the “Inflation Rate” graph to illustrate | Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions | Does not attempt criterion | 20 |
Response Posts | Responds to at least two peer posts by comparing the simulation experiences and outcomes, including evaluating the effects of the policy decisions and prior assumptions about macroeconomics | Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions | Does not attempt criterion | 30 |
Articulation of Response | Clearly conveys meaning with correct grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, demonstrating an understanding of audience and purpose | Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, negatively impacting readability | Submission has critical errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, preventing understanding of ideas | 5 |
Citations and Attributions | Uses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with only minor errors | Uses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with major errors | Does not use citations for ideas requiring attribution | 5 |
