LeonieIB Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I just started the IB. From reading these forums, I see that EE grades are "A/B/C" ? Not on a 7 grading scale, why is that?But overall it counts for 1 point towards the actual IB points, right? How bad do you have to fail the EE to not get the point for it?

Sword (Hubert Pomorski) Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) There is an EE/TOK matrix. EE+TOK gives maximally 3 points. [Yeah, sorry for offtopic :>] Edited September 9, 2012 by Sword 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonieIB Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) There is an EE/TOK matrix. EE+TOK gives maximally 3 points. [Yeah, sorry for offtopic :>]Thanks for this. I don't understand though, I thought it's maximum 42 points, and the 3 extra are for ToK, EE and CAS?But somehow ToK and EE make for 3 points already?

Sword (Hubert Pomorski) Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Nope, CAS is only to be passed. TOK + EE gives 3 points Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonieIB Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 29-30/36 for an A.Does the same apply to ToK, is it in 36 points?Also can you guys tell me point range for a B and C? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword (Hubert Pomorski) Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) ToK is up to 60 points, as far as I can remember. 20 points for TOK Presentation and 40 for Essay.

Guest TushieHushie Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) A bit off topic, but I don't quite understand criterion E of the EE. What do they mean by reasoned argument? I'm doing my EE in Chemistry. Edited September 9, 2012 by TushieHushie Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword (Hubert Pomorski) Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Don't you mean E? AFAIK in E is reasoned argument...Generally, reasoned arguement means that you should consider all that is connected. You must show that you know there is many approaches to your topic and prove by analysis that you have chosen appropiate one.Generally, D & E criteria are also connected with in-depth analysis. It's something like D : Knowledge and E : Analysis, as far as I know. Edited September 9, 2012 by Sword (Hubert Pomorski) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB Failing Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 A bit off topic, but I don't quite understand criterion E of the EE. What do they mean by reasoned argument? I'm doing my EE in Chemistry.Well I did my EE in Biology, but I think this criteria (and what is expected to score 4/4) is quite similar.Having a reasoned argument means that you maintain a strong focus on the research question, and puts forward sufficient evidence to evaluate your research question. You need to present your argument in a method which highlights all of the important points clearly, and is structured so that it shows a development in your research/data (from your experiment). Scoring a 3/4 states that the reasoned argument contains "some weaknesses" but a 4/4 has a "convincing argument".----------@Sword, for EE's in the natural sciences, Criteria F deals with 'analytical and evaluative skills', while E relates more to constructing a cohesive argument.

Guest TushieHushie Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks IB Failing! (great name, btw)I just can't seem to get my head around all this criteria. How do I cite things? Do I put a footnote on every information and fact i acquired? And what about pictures? On my cover page I have a picture that I found in Google. Do I cite that too? If yes, where?

Do I put a footnote on every information and fact i acquired? And what about pictures? On my cover page I have a picture that I found in Google. Do I cite that too? If yes, where?Haha, referencing was probably the least favourite part of my EE . I'd suggest speaking to your supervisor about doing it correctly and to get some extra tips.I placed a footnote every time I referred to a statistic, literature value, diagram and fact that the moderator wouldn't be sure about. Remember that after you've finished writing your EE, it's possible that you'll have a greater understanding on your topic than the person marking may have, as you'll have looked at countless journals, articles and websites, so references can allow the marker to trace your sources. Referencing is used to acknowledge information that isn't your own, but regarding obvious facts covered in the course etc., I'm not too sure whether a reference is necessary. Pictures definitely have to be referenced if you've obtained them from the Internet or a journal, again by footnote and in your bibliography. Also, ensure that you keep your referencing consistent - same style, same format throughout. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
