IB Personal Project (MYP) External Assessment Exemplar

UI screenshot and interface prototypes align precisely with the design specifications, verifying effective translation of planning into implementation.

Backend evidence (MySQL tables with hashed passwords and timestamps) and PHP authentication code demonstrate secure, well-structured integration between front-end and back-end systems.

Application of ATL skills is thoroughly documented: information and media literacy examples, social skills through collaboration, thinking skills transfer from prior units, and technical skills in CSS typography and styling.

Research plan and visual data (pie chart) exhibit methodological rigor and directly support both the learning goal and product requirements.

User feedback is clearly analyzed and used to inform feature enhancements, showing responsive and user-centered development.

Detailed creation timeline with clear sequencing, activity breakdowns, and progress notes, demonstrating thorough planning and resource management.

Mind map effectively captures a wide range of personal interests, providing a solid foundation for connecting the project to individual motivations.

Design specifications table is empty and needs fully developed, level-by-level success criteria to guide development.

Success criteria in the planning narrative and descriptive criteria for materials, aesthetics, and function lack measurable targets (e.g., specific font sizes, color counts, performance metrics).

Mind map connections to learning goals are broad and would benefit from deeper, quantifiable links to strengthen justification.

Candid reflection on environmental and technical limitations (e.g., XAMPP workaround) shows mature awareness of project constraints.

Iterative self-reflection highlights metacognitive growth and how ongoing review informed subsequent planning and execution.

Success evaluation table systematically compares outcomes against each criterion, providing concrete evidence and examples to support reflective judgments.
