Role of the Student

As a student completing the Extended Essay (EE), your role is to choose a subject and then topic that interests you and allows you to develop and demonstrate your understanding, creativity and/or originality.

You must develop a Researcher's reflection space on Managebac that will facilitate planning and preparation for reflection sessions.

You must make the most of your supervisor's availability to guide you in the process. It is your responsibility to reach out to your supervisor to set up meetings.

You must prepare for reflection sessions appropriately.

You must meet all DAA deadlines.

You must maintain a reference list as you work.

You must familiarize yourself with relevant policies and subject-specific guidelines.

Please do not chose a topic or research question that you have seen in exemplars and that have been done too many times before.

Please do not overlook the importance of planning and how this can contribute to success in your EE.

Please do not try to construct a list of references at the end of the process--be aware of the implications of poor/inadequate referencing.
