How To Evaluate In A-Level Economics
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello, welcome back to the channel! In this video I explain how to evaluate. Evaluation is a key aspect of the A-Level Economics course - and is essential to master if you want to achieve the higher marks in your essays. This video will apply to students of any exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, etc). I understand that mastering evaluation is tricky, and in this video I try and break it down as best I can.
Enjoy the video!
😁 Who am I?
Hi there, I’m Sam, a 20 year-old prospective ‘youtuber’ who studies Economics at the University of Cambridge. I make videos that hopefully motivate and inform you about learning, education, revision - as well as what I get up to! If that sounds like something that appeals to you then maybe consider sticking around for weekly videos!

Been watching for a month or so but you sam must be the reason why I’m going to get the grades I need. Keep it up
Thank you so much, I’ve got my mocks coming up and I’m always struggling with evaluation. This has helped so so much.
Glad I could help!
Great video, sitting my A level in a month and i still struggle to understand the entire subject haha
Glad you enjoyed the video! If you want to ask any questions about the course feel free to email me!
Same and my exam is tomorrow

Is it that hard? I was going to choose aleveld business and economics
@@RankethLiyanage it is hard bit I've had to do it without a teacher so it's made it harder for me, if you pur in the effort you'll be fine though
very helpful!! I always lose majority of marks on my weak evaluations or lack thereof. this helped provide general routes to take on my evaluation and how to expand!
thanks a bunch!
No problem - I’m glad you found it helpful!
can you please go through how to answer paper 3 essay questions like the 10 an 25 marker for aqa
Wow, Definitely a wonderful video, I enjoy watching all your videos, it motivates me a lot to study hard and be a great student, I'm studying economics to here in Mexico and these tips are very useful.
very helpful video please make more videos related to economics AS and A level syllabus
Such a great video:). It really puts into frame how to link the content iam learning ,just hope with practice i can learn how to write and think like an economist.
Great effort dude thanks for this masterpiece
Great video! Could you make a video for analysis as well?
Do you have any advice on how you went about planning your essays, I find myself spending more time then necessary on a plan?
Hi Sam, I had a request not regarding A-Levels. Could you please review your UCAS personal statement. Thanks!
I have a video going through my personal statement on my channel!
Thanks for the video! I wanted to ask if you have any practice tips for improving examination technique in general for economics. I do practice questions but im not too sure if the responses are good, and if i ask my teachers i think their marking will be slightly dodgy..
Hey Sam, the example you gave of an extended evaluation, is that one you would use at the end of a main body paragraph or in your overall final evaluation. Superb video btw!😊
I would personally use that as an individual paragraph, after my introduction and analysis of the original point. In my final evaluation, I would want to combine the individual evaluation points. For instance, if we were to use the same example (negative externality re smoking), my other point may be about the provision of information campaigns.
In my overall conclusion I may something like: taxes are effective and can be implemented quickly, but come at the cost of being regressive. Conversely, information campaigns take longer to be successful, but actually cause lower prices (as they reduce demand for smoking). So, it may be best to use the policies in combination, such that we get to the socially optimal level of consumption quickly (via the tax), but in the long-run (when the information campaigns are successful) we can remove the tax, and hopefully remain at the socially optimal point, but also with lower prices.
Sorry for the lengthy response! Hope this makes sense.
@@SamHillman Thank You so much! How did you find timing in the exams Sam?
@@MagnaCarta-o5h Honestly it was pretty tight. Being strict with myself definitely did help!
nice editing on the video
Great video, very relevant!
Thank you!
won't evaluation of your evaluation be considered contradicting your own answer though?
I have exam in 5 days hopefully I can do better
Using this for geography too😂
very good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re the 🐐
👍👍
great vid cheers m8
No problem - glad you enjoyed it!
is this relevant for gcses?
Are the evaluative comments in the final conclusion any different from the evaluation in the main body? Like are there any overall and more general ideas relevant to the question that you need to mention. Thank you
They should be different. Something that can be really effective is considering your policies in combination. For example, if one policy you speak about is only effective in the long-run, whereas a different policy you talk about is only effective in the short-run, it may be beneficial to mention how these policies could be used side-by-side.
@@SamHillman Okay I see. thank you!
Hiya, I've recently begun my AS level classes and have been confused as to which study methods I should stick with. Could you please help me out?
It depends on the specific subject. Try, where possible, to use study methods which utilise active recall. I think flashcards are always a good place to start.
Great editing!
Thank you!
Can take physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and further mathematics in A level?
wouldnt recommend haha
Sam I sent you an email if you have time mind checking it out
Will check it out!
brill video, what's your email?
