Nabz Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) hi guys,is there any specific instruction of what fonts and size to be followed for IA?Plus single spacing/ 1.5 spacing requirements?Thanks!I just had a talk last friday with our economics teacher about it. He said that IB doesn't specifically mention the line spacing and the font size. I would suggest 12 size with font Calibri and spacing at 1.15 Edited February 9, 2013 by shad0wboss 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dniviE Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 My teacher recommends Times New Roman size 12 and 1.15 line spacing for the final draft. First drafts 1.5 line spacing (easier to mark). 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dniviE Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think that you should be writing that out as a sentence instead of using an equation. Looks better and is more convincing if you ask me. Also take a look in the IB Economics guide at page 92 and you'll find everything that is counted in the word count and everything that isn't. The following are not included in the word count.• Acknowledgments • Contents page • Diagrams • Labels—of five words or fewer • Headings on diagrams—of 10 words or fewer • Tables of statistical data• Equations, formulae and calculations • Citations (which, if used, must be in the body of the commentary) • References (which, if used, must be in the footnotes/endnotes) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Wijaya Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Actually I do it this wayMSC refers to the total costs of society when producing one more output in an economy.MSC = Private Costs + External Costs (Spillover costs to third-parties)MSB refers to the total benefits of society when producing one more output in an economy.MSB = Private Benefits + External Benefits (Spillover benefits to third-parties)do you think this sort of attempt can give full marks for the definitions?Thanks!

dniviE Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think those definitions are good, but you should be including the external costs/benefits in the definition that you are writing in your commentary. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallavi Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I had to use Times new Roman, size 12 with double spacing. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
