IB Economics HL Internal Assessment Example

The student included diagrams that were relevant to the policies they discussed.

Several of the figures were clearly intended to support the argument rather than sit separately from it.

Some labels and movements on the diagrams are inaccurate or inconsistent.

A few explanations do not fully match the logic shown in the figures.

The diagram work would be stronger if every curve shift, equilibrium change, and welfare area were checked carefully for accuracy.

The student used a wide range of relevant economic terms.

The student often chose terminology that fitted the policy issue being discussed.

Some terms are used inconsistently or imprecisely.

At times the commentary would benefit from clearer distinctions between related concepts such as private cost, social cost, and the specific market failure involved.

A few sections rely on broad wording where more exact economic language would improve clarity.
