Marking of Economics Assignments

How Dr Anthony Fok Marks Assignments

Dr Anthony Fok marks assignments with the same precision and standards expected by Cambridge A-Level Economics examiners, ensuring every student understands exactly how marks are awarded and how to improve. We do not merely give marks; every script is carefully analysed to show students where they excel, where improvement is needed, and how to achieve distinction. Assignments are returned within the same week, allowing students to act on feedback while the material is still fresh.

Dr Fok also holds ongoing one-on-one consultations with former Cambridge (Singapore) Examiners for GCE ‘A’ Level Economics and the Chief Examiner for the Edexcel Economics Examination, ensuring his teaching and marking strategies meet the highest international standards.

Key Areas Dr Fok Focuses On:

  • Application of Theory: Ensures economic concepts are applied accurately and relevantly to the question, helping students demonstrate mastery and achieve top marks.
  • Structure & Clarity: Evaluates whether answers are logically organised with clear introductions, coherent analysis, and strong conclusions.
  • Analysis & Evaluation: Checks for critical thinking, weighing arguments, considering alternative perspectives, and drawing balanced conclusions, all essential for distinction-level responses.
  • Diagrams & Data: Marks proper use of economic diagrams, correctly labelled and seamlessly integrated into the analysis.
  • Exam Techniques: Highlights language precision, command terms, and essay conventions that Cambridge examiners prioritise, helping students answer effectively and efficiently.

In every assignment, Dr Fok provides detailed, actionable feedback, highlighting strengths, pinpointing mistakes, and guiding students to refine both their content knowledge and exam technique. This thorough, timely, and distinction-focused approach builds confidence and ensures students steadily improve, giving them a significant edge in Cambridge A-Level Economics exams.
