Additional Components EXTENDED ESSAY The Extended Essay, which introduces the student to personal research, is based on a topic of student’s choice, chosen from one of the six groups of subjects. Each student is assigned a teacher supervisor who advises and guides the student during nine months spent researching and writing the essay. This is excellent preparation for similar tasks given to students once they enter university or college education. Extended Essays are completed by the end of the first term of Year 13 and are externally assessed. The Essay and Assessment Methods • Length – All Extended Essays have an upper word limit of 4000 words. Note: (a) Excessive length is consistently penalized across all subjects. (b) All Extended Essays require an abstract of 300 words. • Presentation – (a) All graphs, diagrams, tables, maps, and other supporting material must be neatly presented, well labeled and able to be interpreted with ease. (b) The essay should be logically and clearly ordered. A contents page or list of chapter headings should be added and all pages be numbered clearly. (c) It is recommended that a word processor be used. • Documentation – Standard research paper format that includes (a) footnotes/ endnotes, (b) appendices, (c) bibliography is followed. The Extended Essay is externally assessed by an examiner appointed by IBCA and can earn, together with the Theory of Knowledge result, up to three bonus points. According to the quality of work, the student’s performance in Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay falls into one of the following five bands – A. Work of an excellent standard B. Work of a good standard C. Work of a satisfactory standard D. Work of a mediocre standard E. Work of a poor standard NOTE: The award of N, that is, failure to submit an extended essay excludes a student from the award of the Diploma. Performance of an elementary standard for both the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, is a failing condition for award of the Diploma. 50 See Extended Essay Guidelines published annually to students for details on management, writing and assessment of this essay.
