Geography Fieldwork

Good afternoon people!

     We've recently been analyzing the criteria for our IB Geography Fieldwork and checking out samples of different papers. I wanted to share with y'all some specific requirements that a couple of people forgot when writing their papers!

     The first thing that you have to remember is that the maximum word count is 2500. The examiner doesn't have to read past the 2500th word, so, if you write too much, they won't read your conclusion!

     The second thing to remember is that the sections C and D are combined. These should be under the same section in the paper. At the end of this post, I attached the criteria for both of these sections to help you!

     Lastly, add your questionnaires and raw data into the appendix and not into the body of your paper. Also, only add data into your appendix that you refer to within the paper. In other words, don't overuse it!

     Don't forget that you have 20 hours of class time to work on the fieldwork! During this time, you should form a game plan and to discuss your ideas with your teacher. Use it wisely!
