Task 3 In groups list the criteria. Bonus points if you can get them in the right order.

The criteria A Research Question B Introduction C Investigation D Knowledge and Understanding of the topic E Reasoned Argument F Application of analytical and evaluative skills G Use of language appropriate to the subject H Conclusion I Formal presentation J Abstract K Holistic Judgment

Task 4 How well do you know the criteria? Suppose you wanted to get 0 on J Abstract. In groups list all the ways you could do that.

To get 0 on the abstract More than 300 words. Don’t state the research question. Don’t say how you investigated it. Don’t give your conclusion.

The requirements for the abstract are for it to state clearly the research question that was investigated, how the investigation was undertaken and the conclusion(s) of the essay. Achievement level Descriptor The abstract exceeds 300 words or one or more of the required elements of an abstract (listed above) is missing. 1 The abstract contains the elements listed above but they are not all clearly stated. 2 The abstract clearly states all the elements listed above.

This criteria is a gift. There is no excuse for not getting at least 1.

Task 5 In groups discuss what other criteria are gifts and why.

A Research Question B Introduction I Formal presentation J Abstract Gift Criteria A Research Question B Introduction D Knowledge and Understanding of the topic G Use of language appropriate to the subject I Formal presentation J Abstract

Formal Presentation Description This criterion assesses the extent to which the layout, organization, appearance and formal elements of the essay consistently follow a standard format. The formal elements are: title page, table of contents, page numbers, illustrative material, quotations, documentation (including references, citations and bibliography) and appendices (if used).

The marks Achievement level Descriptor The formal presentation is unacceptable, or the essay exceeds 4,000 words. 1 The formal presentation is poor. 2 The formal presentation is satisfactory. 3 The formal presentation is good. 4 The formal presentation is excellent.

The formal elements Title page Table of contents Page numbers Illustrative material Quotations Documentation (including references, citations and bibliography) Appendices (if used).

Title Page The Title Must have : Your Name Your candidate number Exam Session Subject Word Count School Name The Title

Table of contents Page numbers Illustrative material I’ve not got a lot to say there.

Bibliography A bibliography is an alphabetical list of every source used to research and write the essay. Sources that are not cited in the body of the essay, but were important in informing the approach taken, should be cited in the introduction or in an acknowledgment. The bibliography should list only those sources cited. Source : Extended Essay Guide

References A reference is a way of indicating to the reader, in an orderly form, where information has been obtained. A reference provides all the information needed to find the source material. References must be cited because they acknowledge the sources used, and enable the reader to consult the work and verify the data that has been presented. References must be given whenever someone else’s work is quoted or summarized. References can come from many different sources, including books, magazines, journals, newspapers, e-mails, Internet sites and interviews. Internet references should include the title of the extract used as well as the web site address, the date it was accessed and, if possible, the author. Caution should be exercised with information on web sites that do not give references or that cannot be cross-checked against other sources. The more important a particular point is to the essay, the more the quality of its source needs to be evaluated. Any references to interviews should state the name of the interviewer, the name of the interviewee, the date and the place of the interview. Source : Extended Essay Guide

Citations Source : Extended Essay Guide A citation is a shorthand method of making a reference in the body of an essay, which is then linked to the full reference at the end of the essay. A citation provides the reader with accurate references so that he or she can locate the source easily. How sources are cited varies with the particular documentation style that has been chosen. Page numbers should normally be given when referencing printed material: in some styles this will be in the citation, in others in the full reference. Once again, it is important to emphasize that there must be consistency of method when citing sources. Source : Extended Essay Guide

Appendices Appendices, footnotes and endnotes are not an essential section of the extended essay and examiners are not required to read them, so care should be taken to include all information of direct relevance to the analysis and argument in the main body of the essay. An essay that attempts to evade the word limit by including important material in notes or appendices risks losing marks under several criteria. Unless considered essential, complete lists of raw data should not be included in the extended essay. Students should not constantly refer to material presented in an appendix as this may disrupt the continuity of the essay. Source : Extended Essay Guide
