IB History SL Internal Assessment Example

Your research question is focused, evaluative, and clearly tied to the Korean War and aviation change.

You selected two relevant sources that match the different aviation dimensions of your inquiry.

You make a genuine effort to evaluate origin, purpose, value, and limitations rather than only describing the sources.

Some of your source evaluation stays general and would be stronger with more specific evidence from the texts themselves.

You could explain more clearly how each source’s method or evidence base shapes its usefulness for your exact question.

The choice of sources would be more convincing if you compared them with alternative perspectives or source types.

Your investigation is generally clear and easy to follow, with a logical movement from technology to tactics, then to operational impact and limitations.

You go beyond simple narration by linking aviation developments to changes in military practice and battlefield outcomes.

You include some balancing points by acknowledging constraints and setbacks rather than presenting aviation change as an unqualified success.

Several important claims would be stronger if they were supported with more specific operational evidence or metrics.

Some of your analysis becomes descriptive or assertive rather than fully demonstrated through evidence.

Your discussion of different viewpoints is present, but it is not developed enough to show sustained evaluation of competing interpretations.
