Internal+Assessment

Internal Assessment 2013-2014 In an IB course, you will receive two final grades -- the IB grade which is used by colleges to determine if you get credit, and the school grade, which is the one you receive on your report card and is used to calculate your GPA.

You internal assessment will be counted towards both your school grade and your IB grade. The external assesment (the exam you take in May) will count towards you IB grade, but not your class grade. (This is becasue the scores won't come out until summer.)

In IB lingo, the internal assessment is a written assignment that is completed during the course and submitted to the IB folks later on. You will get a grade from me, and a grade from an IB grader somewhere else in the world.

The internal assessment in Economics consists of three portfolio commentaries which address different parts of the syllabus.

**Internal Assessment**
__Candidates must produce a portfolio of three commentaries, each 650-750 words, based on a news media extract, linking economic theory to a real-world situation.__
 * __All three commentaries must have as their main focus a different section of the syllabus, although it is acceptable for commentaries to make reference to other sections.__
