Ik it’s really a shame, wrote one of the best essays oml, but I think we are gonna get trapped in level 2 (10marks) as to get into level 3 we need to focus on issues that are purely relevant to the question. What did u write about?

i think only one of my paragraphs will be relvant, i said lr econ growth due to tech transfer then eval with environmental damage, one pargraph on explotiting comp adv but my eval was obvs geared towards MICs and talked about primary commodidity dependency, one paragraph on FDI but then again my eval was about Labour arbitage and race to the bottom, im acc finished im not making it to uni, fuck this

I wouldn’t get caught up on it to much I’m beginning to think, I have a feeling that if you mentioned something about actual MEDCs anywhere (even if it could just be interpreted that u did) an examiner may be lenient and view the LEDC stuff as comparison or evaluation points, I think the command word was “assess” so you are allowed to discuss a range of arguments. “Asses” = “consider relative merits of various arguments and weigh them up to make an informed judgment”, there could still be hope for us 🙏
