ย Why the Economics IA Is Difficult to Do Alone
โI donโt know how to choose the right article.โ
โข
My teacher says my IA is โtoo descriptive.โ What makes a good article?
โข
Articles are sometimes too long or too short, and itโs confusing.

โข
I drew the graph, but I donโt know how to explain it.
โข
I understand the theory, but I canโt connect it to the article.
โI canโt write the evaluation.โ
โข
When I suggest policy alternatives, it just sounds like a textbook summary.
โข
I wrote the pros and cons, but my teacher said the analysis lacks depth.
