slmsym Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am writing my EE in biology and my research method is survey. I have questioned 20 people from 2 different countries (time zones more specifically). Will it cause a problem since there won’t be any hands-on experiment?

IBZOMBIE9840 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yes, it will. As EE is one of the most difficult task of IB and just taking a survey doesn't fetch you even an E ( which is failing condition). But you can take survey as a secondary research method. The primary method must be an experiment for sure. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slmsym Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Just checked the EE Guide and confused once again. It says "Essays in biology may be based on data collected by the student through: experimentation, survey, microscopic observations, biological drawing, fieldwork, or some other appropriate biological approach." on page 241 under the title of Biology: Subject Specific Guidance. Attaching the corresponding section. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBZOMBIE9840 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 But you won't get a scope in getting marks for these types of EE. Believeme Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
