The Internal Assessment (IA) in the IB Diploma Programme Design Technology (DP DT) is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of design technology through an authentic inquiry into a design problem. It is a big, rewarding, and exciting project.
IA_Bible.pdfFor Standard Level (SL) students, the IA is assessed through four criteria:
Criterion A: Analysing and evaluating existing products.
Criterion B: Developing ideas.
Criterion C: Creating a solution.
Criterion D: Testing and evaluating the solution.
Higher Level (HL) students are evaluated on six criteria, which include the four SL criteria plus two additional criteria:
Criterion E: Exploring broader issues, such as ethical, social, and environmental considerations related to the design.
Criterion F: Implementing innovative approaches to their design solutions, which may include advanced techniques or new technologies.
The IA allows students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems, encouraging creativity and critical thinking in the process.

These IA were done well, however there is a lack of material and process experimentation and prototypes which had an impact on the whole project.

This IA is also an example of an IA with a good deal of missing information, for example the cover page, index, appendix, and a well-researched collection of sources cited in the footnotes and bibliography.
