IB Geography SL Internal Assessment Example

The investigation question is clearly geographical, testable, and tightly linked to urban stress theory.

The study area is precise and feasible for primary data collection, with a well-defined transect route.

The mapping is strong, conventionally presented, and clearly locates both the wider context and the actual sampling path.

A brief statement of the exact start and end points of the transect would make the spatial extent even clearer.

The contextual framing is strong, but some model references should be kept fully consistent throughout the report.

The methods are described in detail and are clearly aligned to the research question and sub-hypotheses.

The investigation uses a substantial and varied body of primary data, including systematic sampling, repeated noise readings, traffic counts, EQS, and perception scores.

The operational detail is strong, making the work replicable and methodologically coherent.

Subjective measures such as EQS and perception scoring would be even stronger with a clearer explanation of how observer bias was controlled.

The statistical plan would benefit from a brief explanation of why different coefficients were selected for different relationships.
