6. IB History Assessment
Similar to other IB Diploma Program courses, students will be formally assessed both internally and externally upon completion of their two year program. Students will be assessed by:
1) writing an external examination
2) producing an internal historical investigation research paper.
The internal assessment (IA) is a research project in which students choose their own topic, research it, and produce their own piece of historical analysis.
The purpose of the IA is for students to apply the skills of a historian by selecting, evaluating, and analyzing evidence and sources in order to reach a conclusion.
Higher Level students must construct a piece of original research that consists of 2,200 words.
