What Advice Does IB Give the Student?
It is strongly recommended that students: • start work early • think very carefully about the research question for their essay • plan how, when and where they will find material for their essay • plan a schedule for both researching and writing the essay,
including extra time for delays and unforeseen problems • record sources as their research progresses (rather than trying
to reconstruct a list at the end) • have a clear structure for the essay itself before [… writing] • check and proofread the final version carefully • make sure that all basic requirements are met (for example, all
students should get full marks for the abstract).

A Note on the Concept of a Draft
This applies to “drags” in all your work for EE, IAs and coursework. “Drag” is a poorly understood word. Your teachers and advisors expect that you will submit a solid version of your work. It is well-‐formed and ready for review, cri6que, feedback, and finaliza6on. I prefer “edi6on” to help you understand that your work should be solid – on the cusp of outstanding.
