IBstudent143 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi there, I am just staring my Biology HL IA and I am wondering will I get marked down if someone else has done what I am looking at? What I mean is that I have seen online that some people have written their IA on the same topic, will I get marked down for this? Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6tk Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 No you won't, I am SL and did my IA on Osmosis, like the most basic experiment ever. However, what I recommend is you to look at ethics, and safety issues because I was myself graded down on this pretty hard. I thought that doing potatoes is pretty much ethical and obvious, but my teacher after grading it told me that I needed to write why is my experimenet safe and ethical... So I recommend you to look at your IA once again and try to discuss the ethics at least in 5 sentences. It critically affected my Criteria B and I got only 3/6. Good luck! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
