Law0916 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 My Math SL teacher is only letting my class of 4 people including myself one week to complete the ai portfolio. The IB program has only just started at my school (2 years). So I was wondering, is one week the standard time to do the portfolio? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandiloquence Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm pretty sure 1 week is the standard time, and the teachers actually have a limit as to how much time they can give you. The IB Math SL syllabus says The finished piece of work should be submitted to the teacher for assessment 3–10 days after it hasbeen set. Students should not be given the opportunity to resubmit a piece of work after it has been assessed.One week is what our teacher gives us, but that's plenty of time as long as you keep up with it.

moneyfaery Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) The SLs here got 7 days for their last portfolio as well. The SLs last year, however, got 9-10 days. Edited October 20, 2008 by moneyfaery Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperbole Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's so strange! We always get two weeks: same as for Science IAs (lab reports, mainly; the Group 4 Project took more like a month). But I don't really think it's necessary with that much time; the only good thing with it is that it gives students some flexibility. Since we don't all have the same subjects, our amount of work really varies, so being able to choose the second weekend rather than the first after being given the assignment to concentrate on the Maths IA is quite good.However, I still maintain that the Maths IAs should go die in a fire.

SharkSpider Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Our HL class is allowed to hand in the portfolios whenever we like. We were given them in september with basically no direction and told to have them in by January. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it is, it's definately cheating!Plus, we are only given one period in class to look at it.

TeeBlake Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 we had 10 days for both assignments.the actual IB standard is 7 to 10 days..i'm pretty sure of it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 OMG. Is that even allowed?! Because if it is, it's definately cheating!That's quite an oxymoron. "If it is allowed, it's definitely cheating!" If something is allowed, how can it be cheating then? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelleee Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 i remember we did ONE IA last year and we had a 10 day limitalthough it got extended by just a bit (another 3 days extra) because our teacher had to go to a conference somewhere so he hinted that he wouldn't be able to tell who had placed their papers on his desk on the friday it was due or in the morning on monday but i think 10 days is the limit placed by IB?

heartworthy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 i remember we did ONE IA last year and we had a 10 day limitalthough it got extended by just a bit (another 3 days extra) because our teacher had to go to a conference somewhere so he hinted that he wouldn't be able to tell who had placed their papers on his desk on the friday it was due or in the morning on monday but i think 10 days is the limit placed by IB?That happened to us too. Our teacher had already handed them out but was leaving for his IB conference (he's new). Basically he flat out told us he was only supposed to give us 10 days, but that he didn't care as long as we had them the day he got back So we had an extra weekend Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionn Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I thought that all classes were only allowed the same amount of time for the IA, but i guess not. Man I really wish I had an easier teacher. But the length changes are really unfair, they also make the grades different and unequal. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
