EE EXPECTATIONS:
Criterion E: EngagementLevel Descriptor of strands and indicators
0The work does not reach a standard outlined by the descriptors or a RPPF has not been submitted.
1–2 Engagement is limited. Reflections on decision-making and planning are mostly descriptive. These reflections communicate a limited degree of personal engagement with the research focus
and/or research process.
3–4 Engagement is good. Reflections on decision-making and planning are analytical and include reference to conceptual
understanding and skill development.
These reflections communicate a moderate degree of personal engagement with the research focus and process of research, demonstrating some intellectual initiative.
5–6 Engagement is excellent. Reflections on decision-making and planning are evaluative and include reference to the
student’s capacity to consider actions and ideas in response to challenges experienced in the research process.
These reflections communicate a high degree of intellectual and personal engagement with the research focus and process of research, demonstrating authenticity, intellectual initiative and/or creative approach in the student voice.

Do not underestimate the IA marks
No matter how well you do on the
exams, if your IA is weak you will not
get the level you are hoping for…

WE PREPARE THE STUDENTS FOR ALL OF THE ASSESSMENTS THEY WILL
ENCOUNTER IN THE GRADE 12 PORTION OF THE COURSE AND USE MODIFIED VERSIONS AS THE SOURCE FOR THE GRADE 11 MARKS.

INTERNAL ASSESSMNENT (IA)
Internal assessment is an integral part of the course and is compulsory for both
SL and HL students.
It enables students to demonstrate the application of their skills and
knowledge, and to pursue their personal interests, without the time limitations
and other constraints that are associated with written examinations
Students are required to produce a solution that consists of a cover page, the
product and the documentation.
The focus of the solution is on providing either an original product or
additional functionality to an existing product for a client.
IA ideas students could potentially
pursue Any database driven website that performs a non trivial task
a calendar website for managing something for your school, some organization, your library.
For instance, you could create an app to help your school administration schedule teacher duties, to schedule when exams will run, when teachers can sign up for the computer lab.
A Game
Your goal with the IA is to solve a problem; one way to do that is by making learning fun. So you can make a ‘fun game to help students learn. ..”
If you know Python consider using Pygame. We have a series of Pygame tutorials (with code) here.
An Organizer
anything that helps someone organize an event is a possibility here. For instance, maybe you can help your school coaches organize player stats and team meets. Does your coach need something to keep track of his or her player’s statistics? Or of when meets are going to be and where? Then create an application for that.
A Visualizer/Demonstration
Similar to the game idea. You could help teach a concept by creating a visualization (Consider using Java or Pygame) .
Time Allocation
It is recommended that a total of approximately 30 teaching hours for both SL and HL should be allocated to the work.
This should include:
• time for the teacher to explain to students the requirements of the internal assessment, including codes of ethical behaviourand confidentiality
• class time for students to work on the internal assessment
• time spent by the student making arrangements to collect data as appropriate
• time for consultation between the teacher and each student
• time to review and monitor progress, and to check authenticity.
Additional time may be needed outside normal class time for students to work independently, such as acquiring additional skills required for the project and consulting with other people.

Written Tasks and FOAs
Two FOAs are done but only the highest one is sent to IB and used for
predicted grades.
Four written tasks are done but only
two (one of each type) are sent to IB
and used for predicted grades.
Parts of the course and the
corresponding IB assessments
Part 1: Language In a Cultural Context (Gr 11)
One FOA and one Written Task 1
Part 2: Language and Mass Communication (Gr 11)
One FOA and one Written Task 2

the IB is viewed by Universities?
Andrew Arida From the registrar’s office
UBC has been speaking about the
research that UBC has done on IB
students in University.
