Reflections

What and Why?

The reflections are a part of the Extended Essay process, introduced in 2017. They are designed to encourage students to spend some time thinking, not just about the information they are gathering, but also the way they are gathering it. This is the space where you can really reflect on the skills you are learning and the challenges that you are facing.

In order to complete your EE, you will need to meet with your supervisor for 3 review discussions which you will then write up write into 3 reflections totalling not more than 500 words. These reflections are worth 6 marks out of the 34 mark total. You will complete the reflections on Managebac.

You will complete these 3 reflections at key points during the process (See your timeline for specific dates). The Initial reflection will occur early on in the planning stages, the Interim, just after you write your draft and the Viva Voce, after you have submitted the final essay. Each conversation should be between 15 and 25 minutes.

You will need to write your reflection after each discussion and these will be dated and signed off by your supervisor. After this has occurred the reflections cannot be edited.
