Evaluating the Extended Essay

This page is a set of resources essential to all students and their supervisors in understanding how to work together to maximize the number of points possible on the rubric for the Extended Essay.  The site includes the following sections that both students and supervisors will need: rubrics for each extended essay subject, IBO evaluator comments in each subject area, sample extended essays, and instructions for supervisors to grade both the rough draft and final draft of the essay.
Section 1: Class of 2018 - 2025 UAIS Generated Rubrics: The following 2018 rubric is not officially IBO released but superimpose the official IBO general rubric, unpacking of the criterion, and advise for students from IBO to students regardless of subject.  You will also see a supplemental subject handout that is taken directly from the IBO site. The two together will assist the student in approaching the essay.  Please note that the English supplemental handout only reflects category 1 and 2 as UAIS IBO chosen curriculum does not utitlize category 3.
