IB Geography SL Internal Assessment Example

The student's investigation question is clearly geographical and strongly linked to the Multiple Nuclei Model, which gives the whole report a focused theoretical direction.

The student identifies Płock precisely and supports the study with locational maps that make the fieldwork area easy to understand.

The spatial context is specific enough to make primary data collection feasible and to show why the chosen sites are relevant.

Some wording could be more precise so that the hypothesis reflects nuclei formation more accurately rather than implying separate CBDs too quickly.

The map presentation is clear overall, but source information is missing and one or two maps are visually crowded.

The theory-to-method link in the aim and context could be made more explicit.

The student uses several relevant methods, including land-use surveys, counts, transport observations, and building-height observations, and these match the aim of investigating urban nuclei.

The student shows awareness that repetition improves reliability by collecting repeated counts across multiple days.

The student defines some measurements clearly enough to make them repeatable, such as the observation radius for certain observations.

The methods are relevant, but the procedural detail is not complete enough to show exactly how sampling and recording were standardized.

Some collection conditions were inconsistent across sites and times, which reduces confidence in the comparability of the data.

The explanation of how different site groups and survey responses were combined is not fully clear.
