The Extended Essay at MDID

What can you expect from this site?

Class of 2025: We will be using this site in conjunction with ManageBac as we introduce the EE and begin the process in our first semester together. Your materials will be found under "Introducing the EE" and more will go "live" as we move through our introductory sessions. As we move into the actual work of doing the EE, our EE session materials will be found on Managebac, while this website will aid you in your work outside of our class time together. 

Supervisors: There are specific things for your, found in the section creatively called "Supervisors." You may also benefit from the subject-specific pages in "The EE Process." There is also a folder of documents in the DP Teachers group on ManageBac; subject reports and rubrics are available there.
