The Internal Assessment
The Internal Assessment
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) assesses student work as direct evidence of achievement against the stated goals of the Diploma Programme (DP) courses.
DP assessment procedures measure the extent to which students have mastered advanced academic skills in fulfilling these goals, for example:
analysing and presenting information
evaluating and constructing arguments
solving problems creatively.
Basic skills are also assessed, including:
retaining knowledge
understanding key concepts
applying standard methods.
In addition to academic skills, DP assessment encourages an international outlook and intercultural skills, wherever appropriate.
Student results are determined by performance against set standards, not by each student's position in the overall rank order.

Environmental Science and Systems IA - Essay Topic: Investigation of the effects of the pandemic on overall transportation emissions after the lockdown
Abstract: This internal assessment compared fuel production emissions in carbon output before the pandemic and after the pandemic. The focus will be on the estimated fuel production as a result of the pandemic’s restrictions on transportation. I hypothesized that the rate of fuel production after the pandemic will be lower than before due to the extended length of time under which households have adapted their schedules to staying indoors, therefore, people will be more aware that it is possible to limit one’s transportation and yet maintain a healthy routine. Data was taken from the community over global platforms, and the amount of gallons and carbon emissions one year after the pandemic was calculated from the polls. They clearly prove that the pandemic will most likely result in decreased carbon emissions a year after, mainly as a result of conserving time, energy, money, and resources, and overall better physical health.
