They wereset in May 1999, the first examination session of the current assessment scheme, andhave not been changed.The bands are:E: 0 - 8 9 - 16C: 17 - 24B: 25 - 29A: 30 - 36So if you're predicted a 32-36, that's definitely an A.

SallyValentine Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hey all I'm doing my EE in English A1... Haven't gotten around to writing out a question though I'm basically comparing decay and identity in Madame Bovary and The Scarlet LetterKinda worried though ... Finally started writing and the essay seems to be going well, but not sure if my ideas are too shallow...Is it a bad thing if what you're arguing shows up on SparkNotes? lol, I kinda took it as an indicator that I need to be more creative... My Coordinator kinda gave me the idea of exploring identity and sin, but she doesn't quite know what I'm specifically writing about and I can't really talk to her until Christmas Break is over.Advice?

Redstar Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I did my Extended Essay on Computer Science. It was about using Cellular Automata models to simulate city traffic. I had to program an already existing model and then adapt it to simulate traffic in two lanes. I then analyzed which of the two simulations was better.I got an A. =) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saritaoel Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 What a coincidence I just turned in my outline today for my essay!Its going to be on psychology. The title is;Anger: its physiological, psychological, and social effects.I'm basically going to cover its physical effects (ulcers, blood pressure increase,) mental effects (depression, confusion,) and social effects (loneliness, aggression.) I'm actually excited to start because I'm interested in it!I'm basically comparing decay and identity in Madame Bovary and The Scarlet LetterKinda worried though ... Finally started writing and the essay seems to be going well, but not sure if my ideas are too shallow...Is it a bad thing if what you're arguing shows up on SparkNotes? lol, I kinda took it as an indicator that I need to be more creative... My Coordinator kinda gave me the idea of exploring identity and sin, but she doesn't quite know what I'm specifically writing about and I can't really talk to her until Christmas Break is over.Advice? Wow! I can't really comment on decay and identity in Madame Bovary since I've never read the book but I have read The Scarlett Letter and I think those are EXCELLENT things to comment on. It's definitely prevalent in the whole novel and comparing it with another would just make your essay even stronger. I wish I could read it once you finish! Anyways, I hope you do well in it because I have a feeling you will. However,I think that using your own ideas to support your thesis would be better--if your grader wanted to read Sparknotes' analysis they could just go to the website and read it off of there! So think in your own way because it just wows people to hear new ideas and theories about things.Good luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toth Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 My Research: Touch ScreensTopic: Current and Future Touch Screen Technology Impacting the Way Humans Interact With ComputersSubject: Information Technology in a Global SocietyI haven't seen many ITGS topics out there, seeing this many people on the forums anyways. But yea, my research on touch screens was really fun, but because it's such a new piece of computing, finding sources was a huge pain. I just hope I get a good grade!

almaclellan Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm doing my EE on how JK Rowling uses the names of characters to tell us about the character before we get any kind of description of them kind of thing. Even though it is a childrens novel this use of naming as a means of describing the characters and the thic references to roman and greek mythology struck me as interesting.... ie Sirius, Remus, Hermes etc. What do you think?

But she was told to focus on one character only in order to narrow the topic down. Maybe something for you to have in mind. Then I also believe that HP EE:s are quite common, so be sure to find an interesting and unique enough angle! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I also believe that HP EE:s are quite common, so be sure to find an interesting and unique enough angle!Thanks for the advice! I am thinking about either focusing on one character or relating to mythology instead. I had no idea HP was a common topic...I've never heard of anyone from around here using it...then again it is an international program Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBdoc Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm doing my EE in biology but are we allowed to experiment on human beings? I have a really interesting topic in mind. The experiment will involve drawing blood. Do you know anyone who experimented on human beings in biology? The IB guide says that if it does not involve pain or harm then it's okay. But I need to be 100% sure! Also, do we have to work in the school lab? Because the lab lacks a lot of equipments needed such as a good microscope. The maximum magnification we have is x400 which is not enough. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falu Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 im in grade 11 and weve just started to be informed about our extended essays ... i was wanted to do something having to do with biology, and i was thinking maybe with DNA testing and the Romanovs/Anna Anderson (i know, its really broad still ...) but i was wondering if you need to actually carry out an experiment? because if you do then that topic wont really work ....thankshey DNA surly seems a gr8 idea to move on with, on the other hand do u think about the criteria, do u think about those 4000words?i think you should choose a general daily life issue that intrests you and link it to bio and research it,i did the same thing, sitting in my mumz shop going through her products to find my EE topic and finallyfixed 3209 words without the conclusion on "therapeutic properties of wheatgrass on human body"Farah Alibhai Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tests like measuring types of vision or whatever are fine but once you cross that line, no.You don't have to work in the school lab but if you choose to do it at an university institution, you need the supervisor (prof) to write a letter of recommendation or something.
