IB Global Politics SL Internal Assessment Example

The student clearly identifies a political issue and explains it through competing rights, power, justice, and the role of the state.

The student's personal rationale is persuasive because it connects a family experience to a broader political question without becoming purely anecdotal.

The two interviews are relevant and well chosen to provide contrasting perspectives on the issue.

The issue label could be made even more precise and academically framed.

The student could state more explicitly what each engagement was meant to reveal beyond the broad aim of hearing different viewpoints.

A little more explicit signposting of why the project is suitable would strengthen the justification further.

The student uses two relevant interviews with contrasting perspectives, which gives the investigation a purposeful structure.

The student supports the engagement with a range of written sources, showing that the research was not limited to opinion alone.

The interview evidence is used later in the report rather than being left as isolated activity.

The report does not show clearly how the interviews were prepared, conducted, or refined through research.

There is little evidence of an iterative process in which one engagement shaped the next stage of investigation.

The process would be stronger if the student explained how claims from the interviews were checked against authoritative evidence.
