Guidance for development of the IA - word count and format
IBO Guidelines
Step by Step (IBO) Frequently Asked Question (IBO)
The Internal Assessment Project forms a significant part of the overall IB grade - 30% for SL students and 20% for HL students.
It involves solving a real problem by using software development tools.
The solution should be designed for a specific intended-user (CLIENT) and produced using good, reliable development techniques.
The IBO recommends spending at least 30 hours on the project (in class), but a more realistic expectation is probably 50 hours or more.
There are no particular skills that the student must use in the Project, but the solution is expected to demonstrate "a high level of complexity and ingenuity", which can be accomplished by implementing a significant amount of AUTOMATION and using sophisticated programming techniques - using arrays, loops, methods, classes, etc.
None of these techniques are required, but it is difficult to achieve a high grade without them.
