Your grade on this assignment is based not only on whether you correctly describe what you are asked to describe but also on completeness. So, for example on question one if you notice that exports increased and all you write is "exports increased" while correct, this is woefully incomplete and I will deduct many points off. On the other hand, do not write a five page treatise per question. Your use of correct grammar matters. Data visualization is important as well. Lastly, writing style matters. Edit your answers to be sure they are smooth, elegant, grammatically correct, and not repetitive.
