Moderation Report

Remember according to the IBO (Interntional Baccalaureate Organization):

• It is imperative that students complete ALL tasks.
• When investigating it is sometimes appropriate to quote facts/information from the internet, however, the work must be referenced AND must contain further personal analysis.
• Your bibliography (references) whould include the website name, URL, and the date that you visited the site.
• The student MUST evaluate his/her plan.
• The student must provide evidence of testing of the product/solutions created. (If not, levels awarded can not be higher than level 1).
• Include visual representations of the process of creation of the product/solutions.
• Describe a test to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification from the investigation stage, one that they can refer back to in the evaluation.
  

October 11-12

Remember, it's not the product, but the process that we are concerned with.

Further Investigation . . .

Also, according the the Middle Years Programme moderation report (dated June 2007) it is important to:

• FINISH the project and get it online
• evaluate your performance along the way
• cite references using MLA style
• use dates when referencing
• include website name (not just url)
• provide evidence of testing the product (maybe an online survey would work here)
