1 Science Extended Essay: Process Packet Class of 2016 Student Name: Contact Info: Supervisor Name: Contact Info: TO STUDENTS AND SUPERVISORS: IMPORTANT: Because of the methodology and nature of science, an EE in this discipline requires extended time for research and experimentation. Thus, the timeline for EE in science reflects that and adjusts due dates accordingly. Please use these deadlines for an EE in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. All other subject areas must utilize the standard deadlines. You will find a copy of this process packet, copies of the individual IB Extended Essay Subject Guides, and the Extended Essay grading matrix on the PHS website and on Managebac. You must read all documents thoroughly before beginning the research and writing process. The IB Extended Essay gives students the opportunity to create a professional research paper in a subject area of which they have a strong interest. The supervisory role is to guide, answer questions, direct students to resources and to give feedback concerning the structure and content of the essay. It is recommended that supervisors keep their contact time within a range of 3-5 hours. This includes reading time. Students are expected to spend approximately 40 hours on their EE from start to finish. Both student and supervisor must keep in mind that the EE is a student creation. It should reflect the interests and language of the student, not the supervisor. The purpose of this packet is to help both student and supervisor understand what is expected of the extended essay process. The process is designed to ensure that the EE is the student s original work and to verify that an IB graduate understands how to properly research, write and document a collegiate level research essay. This is a requirement of the IB program. Students and supervisors will both receive this packet. Instructions for each due date are included in the left-hand column; the right-hand column is for note-taking. Both students and supervisors are required to take notes at each meeting. TO STUDENTS: Bring this packet to every meeting with your supervisor. Please note that the Assessment Criteria located on pp of this packet indicates that you will be graded out of a total 36 EE points. The IB Subject Guide for your subject area explains the correct way to choose, narrow and focus a topic. Although you may choose a subject you are not studying for your IB Diploma, your supervisor can not tutor you in subject specific skills needed to complete this essay. It is highly suggested that you choose a subject you fully understand. Your assigned supervisor is required to check each stage of the EE process. Most supervisors are content specialists in your selected subject; however, you may choose to contact another 1

2 specialist with permission of your assigned supervisor. Ms. Hixon is also available to answer questions on research and the process, and she must be contacted if you have concerns at any point in the EE process. Regardless of who else you consult, the person who will sign off on the official IB documentation verifying that the EE is your own work and that you have followed the process will be your assigned PHS EE supervisor. You will receive a one credit PHS Extended Essay PASS/FAIL grade for spring semester 2015 and a one credit PASS/FAIL grade for fall semester 2015 based solely on how well you have followed the process. Meetings with external sources/specialists do not serve as a substitute for meetings with your EE supervisor. Your supervisor is not required to meet with you at the last minute. It is your responsibility to schedule a meeting no later than 48 hours prior to the due date. Supervisors who work with several EE students may need to create a schedule that requires students to meet well before the deadlines. You must do as requested. Working ahead of schedule is encouraged. You need to purchase a Style Manual that includes proper research paper documentation. You may purchase this through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Old Firehouse Bookstore, etc. Be sure it includes information on a variety of citations (APA, Chicago, MLA). STUDENTS WHO DO NOT EARN A PASSING EE GRADE FOR SPRING SEMESTER MAY BE DROPPED FROM THE IB PROGRAM AT THE END OF THEIR JUNIOR YEAR. AND STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO COMPLETE AN EE MAY NOT EARN AN IB DIPLOMA AT THE END OF THEIR SENIOR YEAR. TO SUPERVISORS: You have been given access to the specific IB Subject Guide(s), process instruction packets for each student you will be supervising, a list of supervisors and students, the official IB Extended Essay Guide, and samples of excellent extended essays. Please read all of these materials prior to meeting with any students. This process instruction packet includes the tasks each student must have accomplished and the specific dates the task is due. Please make yourself available to students by appointment. If you must miss an appointment, please contact the student ahead of time to re-schedule. It is not your responsibility to locate a tardy or absent student. However, an appointment missed by the student must be documented in this process packet. ***If you have a student who regularly misses deadlines and/or is not keeping up with the EE process, please contact both his/her parents and Cori. Please create an appointment calendar for student use and keep it where students have access to it. Make an effort to locate students you do not know, introduce yourself, and explain where you may be reached and where the appointment sign-up sheet can be found. This packet includes a place to record your notes as a record of each meeting, the number of minutes you spend with each student, and a place to award points for each part of the process. You will award a one credit Extended Essay PHS grade for spring semester and one a credit grade for fall semester, based solely on how well the student followed the process. You are also required to turn in a predicted grade to IB based on the IB grading criteria at the end of this packet. Students must complete and pass their EE in order to earn their IB Diploma. 2

Conduct the viva voce -- a discussion about what you learned from the process, your By October 30, 2015 opinion about the quality of your final draft, and your final conclusions regarding your research question with your EE supervisor. 3

4 Award of diploma points The extended essay contributes to the overall diploma score through the award of points in conjunction with theory of knowledge. A maximum of three points are awarded according to a student s combined performance in both the extended essay and theory of knowledge. Both the extended essay and theory of knowledge are measured against published assessment criteria. According to the quality of the work, and based on the application of these assessment criteria, a student s performance in each of the extended essay and theory of knowledge will fall into one of the five bands described previously. The total number of points awarded is determined by the combination of the performance levels achieved by the student in both the extended essay and theory of knowledge according to the following matrix. The diploma points matrix A student who, for example, writes a good extended essay and whose performance in theory of knowledge is judged to be satisfactory will be awarded 1 point, while a student who writes a mediocre extended essay and whose performance in theory of knowledge is judged to be excellent will be awarded 2 points. A student who fails to submit an extended essay will be awarded N for the extended essay, will score no points, and will not be awarded a diploma. Performance in both the extended essay and theory of knowledge of an elementary standard is a failing condition for the award of the diploma. * From

5 onwards, 28 points overall will be required to be eligible for the diploma if a student attains an E grade in either the extended essay or theory of knowledge. As previously, a grade A in one of the requirements earns an extra point even if the other is a grade E. Attaining a grade E in both the extended essay and theory of knowledge continues to represent an automatic failure. Extended Essay Assessment criteria A: research question This criterion assesses the extent to which the purpose of the essay is specified. In many subjects, the aim of the essay will normally be expressed as a question and, therefore, this criterion is called the research question. However, certain disciplines may permit or encourage different ways of formulating the research task. Achievement level Descriptor 0 The research question is not stated in either the introduction or on the title page or does not lend itself to a systematic investigation in an extended essay in the subject in which it is registered. 1 The research question is stated in either the introduction or on the title page but is not clearly expressed or is too broad in scope to be treated effectively within the word limit. 2 The research question is clearly stated in either the introduction or on the title page and is sharply focused, making effective treatment possible within the word limit. B: introduction This criterion assesses the extent to which the introduction makes clear how the research question relates to existing knowledge on the topic and explains how the topic chosen is significant and worthy of investigation. Achievement level Descriptor 0 Little or no attempt is made to set the research question into context. There is little or no attempt to explain the significance of the topic. 1 Some attempt is made to set the research question into context. There is some attempt to explain the significance of the topic and why it is worthy of investigation. 2 The context of the research question is clearly demonstrated. The introduction clearly explains the significance of the topic and why it is worthy of investigation. 5

6 C: investigation This criterion assesses the extent to which the investigation is planned and an appropriate range of sources has been consulted, or data has been gathered, that is relevant to the research question. Where the research question does not lend itself to a systematic investigation in the subject in which the essay is registered, the maximum level that can be awarded for this criterion is 2. Achievement level Descriptor 0 There is little or no evidence that sources have been consulted or data gathered, and little or no evidence of planning in the investigation. 1 A range of inappropriate sources has been consulted, or inappropriate data has been gathered, and there is little evidence that the investigation has been planned. 2 A limited range of appropriate sources has been consulted, or data has been gathered, and some relevant material has been selected. There is evidence of some planning in the investigation. 3 A sufficient range of appropriate sources has been consulted, or data has been gathered, and relevant material has been selected. The investigation has been satisfactorily planned. 4 An imaginative range of appropriate sources has been consulted, or data has been gathered, and relevant material has been carefully selected. The investigation has been well planned. 6

7 D: knowledge and understanding of the topic studied Where the research question does not lend itself to a systematic investigation in the subject in which the essay is registered, the maximum level that can be awarded for this criterion is 2. Academic context, as used in this guide, can be defined as the current state of the field of study under investigation. However, this is to be understood in relation to what can reasonably be expected of a pre-university student. For example, to obtain a level 4, it would be sufficient to relate the investigation to the principal lines of inquiry in the relevant field; detailed, comprehensive knowledge is not required. Achievement level Descriptor 0 The essay demonstrates no real knowledge or understanding of the topic studied. 1 The essay demonstrates some knowledge but little understanding of the topic studied. The essay shows little awareness of an academic context for the investigation. 2 The essay demonstrates an adequate knowledge and some understanding of the topic studied. The essay shows some awareness of an academic context for the investigation. 3 The essay demonstrates a good knowledge and understanding of the topic studied. Where appropriate, the essay successfully outlines an academic context for the investigation. 4 The essay demonstrates a very good knowledge and understanding of the topic studied. Where appropriate, the essay clearly and precisely locates the investigation in an academic context. 7

8 E: reasoned argument This criterion assesses the extent to which the essay uses the material collected to present ideas in a logical and coherent manner, and develops a reasoned argument in relation to the research question. Where the research question does not lend itself to a systematic investigation in the subject in which the essay is registered, the maximum level that can be awarded for this criterion is 2. Achievement level Descriptor 0 There is no attempt to develop a reasoned argument in relation to the research question. 1 There is a limited or superficial attempt to present ideas in a logical and coherent manner, and to develop a reasoned argument in relation to the research question. 2 There is some attempt to present ideas in a logical and coherent manner, and to develop a reasoned argument in relation to the research question, but this is only partially successful. 3 Ideas are presented in a logical and coherent manner, and a reasoned argument is developed in relation to the research question, but with some weaknesses. 4 Ideas are presented clearly and in a logical and coherent manner. The essay succeeds in developing a reasoned and convincing argument in relation to the research question. 8

9 F: application of analytical and evaluative skills appropriate to the subject Achievement level Descriptor 0 The essay shows no application of appropriate analytical and evaluative skills. 1 The essay shows little application of appropriate analytical and evaluative skills. 2 The essay shows some application of appropriate analytical and evaluative skills, which may be only partially effective. 3 The essay shows sound application of appropriate analytical and evaluative skills. 4 The essay shows effective and sophisticated application of appropriate analytical and evaluative skills. G: use of language appropriate to the subject Achievement level Descriptor 0 The language used is inaccurate and unclear. There is no effective use of terminology appropriate to the subject. 1 The language used sometimes communicates clearly but does not do so consistently. The use of terminology appropriate to the subject is only partly accurate. 2 The language used for the most part communicates clearly. The use of terminology appropriate to the subject is usually accurate. 3 The language used communicates clearly. The use of terminology appropriate to the subject is accurate, although there may be occasional lapses. 4 The language used communicates clearly and precisely. Terminology appropriate to the subject is used accurately, with skill and understanding. 9

10 H: conclusion This criterion assesses the extent to which the essay incorporates a conclusion that is relevant to the research question and is consistent with the evidence presented in the essay. Achievement level Descriptor 0 Little or no attempt is made to provide a conclusion that is relevant to the research question. 1 A conclusion is attempted that is relevant to the research question but may not be entirely consistent with the evidence presented in the essay. 2 An effective conclusion is clearly stated; it is relevant to the research question and consistent with the evidence presented in the essay. It should include unresolved questions where appropriate to the subject concerned. I: formal presentation 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). Achievement level Descriptor 0 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. 10

11 J: abstract 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 0 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. K: holistic judgment The purpose of this criterion is to assess the qualities that distinguish an essay from the average, such as intellectual initiative, depth of understanding and insight. While these qualities will be clearly present in the best work, less successful essays may also show some evidence of them and should be rewarded under this criterion. Achievement level Descriptor 0 The essay shows no evidence of such qualities. 1 The essay shows little evidence of such qualities. 2 The essay shows some evidence of such qualities. 3 The essay shows clear evidence of such qualities. 4 The essay shows considerable evidence of such qualities. Mark range: A = B = C = D = 8 15 E =

12 EXTENDED ESSAY: INSTRUCTIONS and DEADLINES By Friday, January 23, 2015 Meeting agenda: Students and supervisors meet to discuss possible topics. General and subject-specific assessment criteria will be reviewed so students are aware of how they will be graded by the IB. The student should leave this meeting with a clear direction of how to begin narrowing her/his topic and conducting background research. Please read the next due date s directions and make sure you are clear concerning the requirements. NOTE to students: Decide today if you will be using MLA, APA or Chicago documentation style. Notes: This section must be filled in during the discussion by both student & supervisor! Possible topics: Possible Research Questions (RQ): Documentation style to be used: Supervisor: Please fill out during or after your meeting with the student: Total minutes spent with student: Points Awarded: 5 Student arrived on time for meeting. 0 Appointment or deadline missed without notification or prior arrangement made 12

13 By Friday, February 13, 2015 Meeting agenda: Background research, a narrowed topic/research question and a working thesis/hypothesis are due today. Notes: This section must be filled in during the discussion by both student & supervisor! For an experiment, a detailed draft of experimental procedures is due today. This draft could be converted to continuous prose for the completed essay. A working thesis/hypothesis includes: 1. Thesis or hypothesis that answers the research question and directs the focus of the essay. 2. Two, three, four, or five supporting claim statements that clearly show how the thesis/hypothesis is supported through the research. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CREATE AN OPPOSITION CLAIM. ONLY DO SO IF THE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT OPPOSITION IS PRESENT. Information from background sources must be written on index cards or on a word processing program. Begin by writing the bibliographical information in the correct documentation style on separate cards (one for each source) or on separate pages. Lettering each background bibliography card/ page A, B, C, D, etc. and placing a, A1, A2, A3, etc. on cards/ pages with background information is an example of matching information to sources. When taking notes on your cards/ pages, make sure you only write information on one topic on each card; for example, one quote or one piece of factual information. Part of your research and note-taking process must include analysis of the background and credibility of your sources. You will be including this information in the body of your paper as you discuss who said what, and why they are worthy of being cited in your essay. Depending on the EE topic, the number of background sources may vary. You should not depend on only 1 or 2 sources unless specifically advised by the supervisor. Prior to leaving today s appointment, discuss the next meeting s requirement and decide how many sources are needed for the next step. Supervisor: Please fill out during or after your meeting with the student: Total minutes spent with student: Points Awarded: 5 Complete 5 Mostly complete but student needed clarification and/or help 4 Partially complete 3 Mostly Incomplete 2 Unprepared 0 Appointment or deadline missed without notification 13

14 By Friday, March 13, 2015 Meeting agenda: You should have research from 2-5 sources. Each source must have a separate card/page written in correct bibliographical style. Some of these sources may include background information; however, most of the information from these sources should represent new research and serve to flesh out your claims in response to your RQ. Notes: This section must be filled in during the discussion by both student & supervisor! Supervisor: please check at this meeting to make sure an outside mentor has been contacted, if necessary Make sure you are including analysis of the author and source in relation to their credibility and position. Are they the expert in the field? Are they obviously biased? Etc. Specific notes from sources that support the claims must be on separate index cards/pages. One way to clearly coordinate sources and claim information is to number the claims within the thesis with I, II, III, IV or V. At the top of each index card clearly mark the number of the claim it supports. Some students may prefer colored index cards coordinated for each claim. If using cards, remember to place these index cards behind the bibliography card where the information was found. Write the author s name at the top of each index card as well as the matching claim number. At this meeting lay out the index cards with all of the claim I cards in a row, claim II in another, and so on. If using another method, show the supervisor how the essay will be developed. Check to see which claims need more information and if one source is being overused. The number of note cards/pages may vary depending on the subject and the topic. At the end of this meeting, decide what is necessary for completing the research process. Supervisor: Please fill out during or after your meeting with the student: Total minutes spent with student: Points Awarded: 5 Complete 5 Mostly complete but student needed clarification and/or help 4 Partially complete 3 Mostly Incomplete 2 Unprepared 0 Appointment or deadline missed without notification 14

15 By Friday, April 13, 2015 The rest of your research must be completed at this time. If doing an experiment, a design and procedure must also be submitted. After checking to see if source support is balanced, discuss with your supervisor any questions and concerns you have about your EE. Submit the final research question (problem statement) by today. After this meeting, the focus of your research cannot change. Discuss appropriate ways to introduce and conclude the essay according to the EE regulations. The writing and experimentation process may be completed during the summer break or early in the fall semester. All essays will be submitted in October Supervisor: Please fill out during or after your meeting with the student: Total minutes spent with student: Points Awarded: 5 Complete 5 Mostly complete but student needed clarification and/or help 4 Partially complete 3 Mostly Incomplete 2 Unprepared 0 Appointment or deadline missed without notification 15

16 By Friday, May 8, 2015 Meeting agenda: Notes: A complete word-processed outline is due. The outline begins with the research question and final complex thesis written out at the top. The outline should be in a readable and organized outline form and not a free flowing brainstorm of ideas. The final outline should be approximately 2-4 pages long depending on spacing and font. It must include a word count. Check the outline for the following: Introduction and thesis/ hypothesis follow the assessment criteria guidelines. (Criterion B) Claims are organized so the argument builds logically. Claims are developed in relation to the RQ with supporting information (sub-points) Research included is synthesized; in other words, information from sources is not listed in giant chunks from the same source. Instead, information is confirmed by, built upon, and/or contradicted by other sources to show how your argument is built. Sources are cited. Information is analyzed in terms of the RQ. Conclusion follows assessment criteria. Proper documentation/ attribution of all research, including both quotations and paraphrased material, needs to be included in the outline. Most importantly, check Using the assessment criteria from your EE notebook to ensure you are building in as many of the 36 total points as possible. Supervisor: Please fill out during or after your meeting with the student: Total minutes spent with student: Points Awarded: 5 Complete 5 Mostly complete but student needed clarification and/or help 4 Partially complete 3 Mostly Incomplete 2 Unprepared 0 Appointment or deadline missed without notification 16
