ABOUT CS EE WORLD

CS EE World was created in 2019 by a May 2019 IB graduate upon the realization that there weren't enough free Computer Science Extended Essay (CS EE) exemplars online to properly guide IB students. As the notable website I B CompSci Hub says, "Extended Essays in Computer Science are not easy to do," so students need the guidance to write good papers.

This site hosts the ✨world's largest✨ collection of free original CS EEs , each of which was donated directly to us by previous students. We also include some links to EEs existing elsewhere online. Feel free to download from our collection, and please remember to donate your EE to us when it's completed and you've gotten your official IB grades!

Our Collection

At the time of writing this, the latest official IB EE guide came into action in 2018; pre-2018 EEs should be considered old. Nonetheless, we'll happily accept pre-2018 EEs, and readers are still encouraged to consider reading pre-2018 EEs - there are still things to learn from them.

Number of EEs available: 47

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, the complete ib extended essay guide: examples, topics, and ideas.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

body-notes-notetaking-cc0-pixabay

IB students around the globe fear writing the Extended Essay, but it doesn't have to be a source of stress! In this article, I'll get you excited about writing your Extended Essay and provide you with the resources you need to get an A on it.

If you're reading this article, I'm going to assume you're an IB student getting ready to write your Extended Essay. If you're looking at this as a potential future IB student, I recommend reading our introductory IB articles first, including our guide to what the IB program is and our full coverage of the IB curriculum .

IB Extended Essay: Why Should You Trust My Advice?

I myself am a recipient of an IB Diploma, and I happened to receive an A on my IB Extended Essay. Don't believe me? The proof is in the IBO pudding:

body_ibeescore.png

If you're confused by what this report means, EE is short for Extended Essay , and English A1 is the subject that my Extended Essay topic coordinated with. In layman's terms, my IB Diploma was graded in May 2010, I wrote my Extended Essay in the English A1 category, and I received an A grade on it.

What Is the Extended Essay in the IB Diploma Programme?

The IB Extended Essay, or EE , is a mini-thesis you write under the supervision of an IB advisor (an IB teacher at your school), which counts toward your IB Diploma (learn more about the major IB Diploma requirements in our guide) . I will explain exactly how the EE affects your Diploma later in this article.

For the Extended Essay, you will choose a research question as a topic, conduct the research independently, then write an essay on your findings . The essay itself is a long one—although there's a cap of 4,000 words, most successful essays get very close to this limit.

Keep in mind that the IB requires this essay to be a "formal piece of academic writing," meaning you'll have to do outside research and cite additional sources.

The IB Extended Essay must include the following:

  • A title page
  • Contents page
  • Introduction
  • Body of the essay
  • References and bibliography

Additionally, your research topic must fall into one of the six approved DP categories , or IB subject groups, which are as follows:

  • Group 1: Studies in Language and Literature
  • Group 2: Language Acquisition
  • Group 3: Individuals and Societies
  • Group 4: Sciences
  • Group 5: Mathematics
  • Group 6: The Arts

Once you figure out your category and have identified a potential research topic, it's time to pick your advisor, who is normally an IB teacher at your school (though you can also find one online ). This person will help direct your research, and they'll conduct the reflection sessions you'll have to do as part of your Extended Essay.

As of 2018, the IB requires a "reflection process" as part of your EE supervision process. To fulfill this requirement, you have to meet at least three times with your supervisor in what the IB calls "reflection sessions." These meetings are not only mandatory but are also part of the formal assessment of the EE and your research methods.

According to the IB, the purpose of these meetings is to "provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their engagement with the research process." Basically, these meetings give your supervisor the opportunity to offer feedback, push you to think differently, and encourage you to evaluate your research process.

The final reflection session is called the viva voce, and it's a short 10- to 15-minute interview between you and your advisor. This happens at the very end of the EE process, and it's designed to help your advisor write their report, which factors into your EE grade.

Here are the topics covered in your viva voce :

  • A check on plagiarism and malpractice
  • Your reflection on your project's successes and difficulties
  • Your reflection on what you've learned during the EE process

Your completed Extended Essay, along with your supervisor's report, will then be sent to the IB to be graded. We'll cover the assessment criteria in just a moment.

We'll help you learn how to have those "lightbulb" moments...even on test day!  

What Should You Write About in Your IB Extended Essay?

You can technically write about anything, so long as it falls within one of the approved categories listed above.

It's best to choose a topic that matches one of the IB courses , (such as Theatre, Film, Spanish, French, Math, Biology, etc.), which shouldn't be difficult because there are so many class subjects.

Here is a range of sample topics with the attached extended essay:

  • Biology: The Effect of Age and Gender on the Photoreceptor Cells in the Human Retina
  • Chemistry: How Does Reflux Time Affect the Yield and Purity of Ethyl Aminobenzoate (Benzocaine), and How Effective is Recrystallisation as a Purification Technique for This Compound?
  • English: An Exploration of Jane Austen's Use of the Outdoors in Emma
  • Geography: The Effect of Location on the Educational Attainment of Indigenous Secondary Students in Queensland, Australia
  • Math: Alhazen's Billiard Problem
  • Visual Arts: Can Luc Tuymans Be Classified as a Political Painter?

You can see from how varied the topics are that you have a lot of freedom when it comes to picking a topic . So how do you pick when the options are limitless?

How to Write a Stellar IB Extended Essay: 6 Essential Tips

Below are six key tips to keep in mind as you work on your Extended Essay for the IB DP. Follow these and you're sure to get an A!

#1: Write About Something You Enjoy

You can't expect to write a compelling essay if you're not a fan of the topic on which you're writing. For example, I just love British theatre and ended up writing my Extended Essay on a revolution in post-WWII British theatre. (Yes, I'm definitely a #TheatreNerd.)

I really encourage anyone who pursues an IB Diploma to take the Extended Essay seriously. I was fortunate enough to receive a full-tuition merit scholarship to USC's School of Dramatic Arts program. In my interview for the scholarship, I spoke passionately about my Extended Essay; thus, I genuinely think my Extended Essay helped me get my scholarship.

But how do you find a topic you're passionate about? Start by thinking about which classes you enjoy the most and why . Do you like math classes because you like to solve problems? Or do you enjoy English because you like to analyze literary texts?

Keep in mind that there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing your Extended Essay topic. You're not more likely to get high marks because you're writing about science, just like you're not doomed to failure because you've chosen to tackle the social sciences. The quality of what you produce—not the field you choose to research within—will determine your grade.

Once you've figured out your category, you should brainstorm more specific topics by putting pen to paper . What was your favorite chapter you learned in that class? Was it astrophysics or mechanics? What did you like about that specific chapter? Is there something you want to learn more about? I recommend spending a few hours on this type of brainstorming.

One last note: if you're truly stumped on what to research, pick a topic that will help you in your future major or career . That way you can use your Extended Essay as a talking point in your college essays (and it will prepare you for your studies to come too!).

#2: Select a Topic That Is Neither Too Broad nor Too Narrow

There's a fine line between broad and narrow. You need to write about something specific, but not so specific that you can't write 4,000 words on it.

You can't write about WWII because that would be a book's worth of material. You also don't want to write about what type of soup prisoners of war received behind enemy lines, because you probably won’t be able to come up with 4,000 words of material about it. However, you could possibly write about how the conditions in German POW camps—and the rations provided—were directly affected by the Nazis' successes and failures on the front, including the use of captured factories and prison labor in Eastern Europe to increase production. WWII military history might be a little overdone, but you get my point.

If you're really stuck trying to pinpoint a not-too-broad-or-too-narrow topic, I suggest trying to brainstorm a topic that uses a comparison. Once you begin looking through the list of sample essays below, you'll notice that many use comparisons to formulate their main arguments.

I also used a comparison in my EE, contrasting Harold Pinter's Party Time with John Osborne's Look Back in Anger in order to show a transition in British theatre. Topics with comparisons of two to three plays, books, and so on tend to be the sweet spot. You can analyze each item and then compare them with one another after doing some in-depth analysis of each individually. The ways these items compare and contrast will end up forming the thesis of your essay!

When choosing a comparative topic, the key is that the comparison should be significant. I compared two plays to illustrate the transition in British theatre, but you could compare the ways different regional dialects affect people's job prospects or how different temperatures may or may not affect the mating patterns of lightning bugs. The point here is that comparisons not only help you limit your topic, but they also help you build your argument.

Comparisons are not the only way to get a grade-A EE, though. If after brainstorming, you pick a non-comparison-based topic and are still unsure whether your topic is too broad or narrow, spend about 30 minutes doing some basic research and see how much material is out there.

If there are more than 1,000 books, articles, or documentaries out there on that exact topic, it may be too broad. But if there are only two books that have any connection to your topic, it may be too narrow. If you're still unsure, ask your advisor—it's what they're there for! Speaking of advisors...

body-narrow-crack-stuck-cc0-pixabay

Don't get stuck with a narrow topic!

#3: Choose an Advisor Who Is Familiar With Your Topic

If you're not certain of who you would like to be your advisor, create a list of your top three choices. Next, write down the pros and cons of each possibility (I know this sounds tedious, but it really helps!).

For example, Mr. Green is my favorite teacher and we get along really well, but he teaches English. For my EE, I want to conduct an experiment that compares the efficiency of American electric cars with foreign electric cars.

I had Ms. White a year ago. She teaches physics and enjoyed having me in her class. Unlike Mr. Green, Ms. White could help me design my experiment.

Based on my topic and what I need from my advisor, Ms. White would be a better fit for me than would Mr. Green (even though I like him a lot).

The moral of my story is this: do not just ask your favorite teacher to be your advisor . They might be a hindrance to you if they teach another subject. For example, I would not recommend asking your biology teacher to guide you in writing an English literature-based EE.

There can, of course, be exceptions to this rule. If you have a teacher who's passionate and knowledgeable about your topic (as my English teacher was about my theatre topic), you could ask that instructor. Consider all your options before you do this. There was no theatre teacher at my high school, so I couldn't find a theatre-specific advisor, but I chose the next best thing.

Before you approach a teacher to serve as your advisor, check with your high school to see what requirements they have for this process. Some IB high schools require your IB Extended Essay advisor to sign an Agreement Form , for instance.

Make sure that you ask your IB coordinator whether there is any required paperwork to fill out. If your school needs a specific form signed, bring it with you when you ask your teacher to be your EE advisor.

#4: Pick an Advisor Who Will Push You to Be Your Best

Some teachers might just take on students because they have to and aren't very passionate about reading drafts, only giving you minimal feedback. Choose a teacher who will take the time to read several drafts of your essay and give you extensive notes. I would not have gotten my A without being pushed to make my Extended Essay draft better.

Ask a teacher that you have experience with through class or an extracurricular activity. Do not ask a teacher that you have absolutely no connection to. If a teacher already knows you, that means they already know your strengths and weaknesses, so they know what to look for, where you need to improve, and how to encourage your best work.

Also, don't forget that your supervisor's assessment is part of your overall EE score . If you're meeting with someone who pushes you to do better—and you actually take their advice—they'll have more impressive things to say about you than a supervisor who doesn't know you well and isn't heavily involved in your research process.

Be aware that the IB only allows advisors to make suggestions and give constructive criticism. Your teacher cannot actually help you write your EE. The IB recommends that the supervisor spends approximately two to three hours in total with the candidate discussing the EE.

#5: Make Sure Your Essay Has a Clear Structure and Flow

The IB likes structure. Your EE needs a clear introduction (which should be one to two double-spaced pages), research question/focus (i.e., what you're investigating), a body, and a conclusion (about one double-spaced page). An essay with unclear organization will be graded poorly.

The body of your EE should make up the bulk of the essay. It should be about eight to 18 pages long (again, depending on your topic). Your body can be split into multiple parts. For example, if you were doing a comparison, you might have one third of your body as Novel A Analysis, another third as Novel B Analysis, and the final third as your comparison of Novels A and B.

If you're conducting an experiment or analyzing data, such as in this EE , your EE body should have a clear structure that aligns with the scientific method ; you should state the research question, discuss your method, present the data, analyze the data, explain any uncertainties, and draw a conclusion and/or evaluate the success of the experiment.

#6: Start Writing Sooner Rather Than Later!

You will not be able to crank out a 4,000-word essay in just a week and get an A on it. You'll be reading many, many articles (and, depending on your topic, possibly books and plays as well!). As such, it's imperative that you start your research as soon as possible.

Each school has a slightly different deadline for the Extended Essay. Some schools want them as soon as November of your senior year; others will take them as late as February. Your school will tell you what your deadline is. If they haven't mentioned it by February of your junior year, ask your IB coordinator about it.

Some high schools will provide you with a timeline of when you need to come up with a topic, when you need to meet with your advisor, and when certain drafts are due. Not all schools do this. Ask your IB coordinator if you are unsure whether you are on a specific timeline.

Below is my recommended EE timeline. While it's earlier than most schools, it'll save you a ton of heartache (trust me, I remember how hard this process was!):

  • January/February of Junior Year: Come up with your final research topic (or at least your top three options).
  • February of Junior Year: Approach a teacher about being your EE advisor. If they decline, keep asking others until you find one. See my notes above on how to pick an EE advisor.
  • April/May of Junior Year: Submit an outline of your EE and a bibliography of potential research sources (I recommend at least seven to 10) to your EE advisor. Meet with your EE advisor to discuss your outline.
  • Summer Between Junior and Senior Year: Complete your first full draft over the summer between your junior and senior year. I know, I know—no one wants to work during the summer, but trust me—this will save you so much stress come fall when you are busy with college applications and other internal assessments for your IB classes. You will want to have this first full draft done because you will want to complete a couple of draft cycles as you likely won't be able to get everything you want to say into 4,000 articulate words on the first attempt. Try to get this first draft into the best possible shape so you don't have to work on too many revisions during the school year on top of your homework, college applications, and extracurriculars.
  • August/September of Senior Year: Turn in your first draft of your EE to your advisor and receive feedback. Work on incorporating their feedback into your essay. If they have a lot of suggestions for improvement, ask if they will read one more draft before the final draft.
  • September/October of Senior Year: Submit the second draft of your EE to your advisor (if necessary) and look at their feedback. Work on creating the best possible final draft.
  • November-February of Senior Year: Schedule your viva voce. Submit two copies of your final draft to your school to be sent off to the IB. You likely will not get your grade until after you graduate.

Remember that in the middle of these milestones, you'll need to schedule two other reflection sessions with your advisor . (Your teachers will actually take notes on these sessions on a form like this one , which then gets submitted to the IB.)

I recommend doing them when you get feedback on your drafts, but these meetings will ultimately be up to your supervisor. Just don't forget to do them!

How Is the IB Extended Essay Graded?

Extended Essays are graded by examiners appointed by the IB on a scale of 0 to 34 . You'll be graded on five criteria, each with its own set of points. You can learn more about how EE scoring works by reading the IB guide to extended essays .

  • Criterion A: Focus and Method (6 points maximum)
  • Criterion B: Knowledge and Understanding (6 points maximum)
  • Criterion C: Critical Thinking (12 points maximum)
  • Criterion D: Presentation (4 points maximum)
  • Criterion E: Engagement (6 points maximum)

How well you do on each of these criteria will determine the final letter grade you get for your EE. You must earn at least a D to be eligible to receive your IB Diploma.

Although each criterion has a point value, the IB explicitly states that graders are not converting point totals into grades; instead, they're using qualitative grade descriptors to determine the final grade of your Extended Essay . Grade descriptors are on pages 102-103 of this document .

Here's a rough estimate of how these different point values translate to letter grades based on previous scoring methods for the EE. This is just an estimate —you should read and understand the grade descriptors so you know exactly what the scorers are looking for.

Here is the breakdown of EE scores (from the May 2021 bulletin):

How Does the Extended Essay Grade Affect Your IB Diploma?

The Extended Essay grade is combined with your TOK (Theory of Knowledge) grade to determine how many points you get toward your IB Diploma.

To learn about Theory of Knowledge or how many points you need to receive an IB Diploma, read our complete guide to the IB program and our guide to the IB Diploma requirements .

This diagram shows how the two scores are combined to determine how many points you receive for your IB diploma (3 being the most, 0 being the least). In order to get your IB Diploma, you have to earn 24 points across both categories (the TOK and EE). The highest score anyone can earn is 45 points.

body-theory-of-knowledge

Let's say you get an A on your EE and a B on TOK. You will get 3 points toward your Diploma. As of 2014, a student who scores an E on either the extended essay or TOK essay will not be eligible to receive an IB Diploma .

Prior to the class of 2010, a Diploma candidate could receive a failing grade in either the Extended Essay or Theory of Knowledge and still be awarded a Diploma, but this is no longer true.

Figuring out how you're assessed can be a little tricky. Luckily, the IB breaks everything down here in this document . (The assessment information begins on page 219.)

Computer Science Extended Essay #

Note on the sources used The information provided in this and other sections of the Extended Essay is largely derived from two sources: Paul Baumgarten’s website and the subject-specific Extended Essay Computer Science guide . While I strive to incorporate the most crucial info from these sources and offer additional perspectives, I strongly encourage you to visit these references for a better understanding.

The Extended Essay (EE) in Computer Science (CS) is an independent research project where students conduct experiments to explore the vast realm of computing and its implications for the world. The work has a maximum length of 4,000 words, with an additional 500 words allocated for reflections, known as the Reflections on Planning and Progress Form (RPPF). (Further details on RPPF can be found here , and you can refer to the format here ).

CS EE is known for its technical complexity , and it’s relatively uncommon, to the extent that IB doesn’t keep statistics on it. However, this isn’t meant to discourage you; rather, it emphasizes that this journey is challenging and time-consuming but ultimately rewarding.

The key to a successful CS EE lies in selecting a good research topic . But what makes a topic good?

Content overview: #

  • Choosing a Topic

Choosing a Topic #

Here are some criteria to guide you in identifying a strong research topic:

Ensure your topic is technical : Given that Computer Science is a technical course, focus on aspects that delve into the technicalities of the subject. Social issues related to ICT are more suited for the ITGS course.

Ensure your topic is specific and measurable : Craft a research question with clear specificity and measurability. Avoid vague inquiries like “Will Windows or Linux give better performance?” Clarify the context, circumstances, and goals to achieve precision. Remember the 4,000-word limit.

Avoid speculative topics: Avoid questions about uncertain future developments, such as “Will quantum computing replace normal binary computers?” Analysis of trends and advances is possible, but should demonstrate technical knowledge without relying on speculation.

Steer clear of historical and ethical/social implications focus: While historical context or ethical considerations can be included, the primary focus should be on scientific analysis. Avoid turning the essay into a history dissertation; maintain a scientific approach.

Ensure your topic allows for primary research : Conduct original research instead of relying solely on existing statistics or summarizing views. Analyze your findings and consider their implications to fulfill the research requirements.

Avoid a computer science project focus: Save projects like desktop applications or online services for the IA. While data for analysis can be generated from a student-written program, the focus should be on relevant techniques rather than the code’s development.

Ensure your topic is feasible : Choose a topic that is manageable with available resources. Avoid investigating complex computing topics for which you lack access to appropriate background material or resources.

To give yourself a better sense of the differences between good and bad topics, look at the table below:

(“Good topics” are taken from the CS EE World where you can also look for examplary essays)

Topic Suggestions #

The subject-specific guide mentions that you can explore various areas, including hardware and software development, algorithm efficiency for data transmission or encryption, network systems, and computer control systems.

You can also draw inspiration from the syllabus or Paper 3 case studies, provided you delve into those topics more deeply in your exploration. You can find the CS guide here and case studies here .

However, given the current hype for Artificial Intelligence , you and many other students might be tempted to choose this area for your research.

AI Topics #

Paul Baumgarten has compiled a helpful list of terms here that might guide you in choosing the direction for your research. He also emphasizes that, given the popularity of this area among students, it’s crucial to ensure that your work stands out .

He suggests considering a “clichĂŠ” Research Question, which involves evaluating how two things solve a similar problem. However, a more common yet effective approach to meet the EE’s requirements and secure a good mark is testing a specific model on a chosen dataset .

For further inspiration, you can explore the multitude of available models and datasets on the Hugging Face library website. They also offer courses .

Additionally, you can find more ideas on the Awesome Deep Learning Project Ideas project. Remember to keep the word limit in mind!

September 2, 2022

computer science ee

The goal of an IB Extended Essay is to demonstrate a clear understanding of a topic within a subject within a limit of 4,000 words .

Often, the assignment requires a series of reflections with your supervisor , where you can get commentary and suggestions to improve your EE.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • What computer science extended essay is
  • How to choose a topic
  • How to write the EE
  • And the criteria used for evaluation

Let’s get started.

What’s Computer Science Extended Essay?

Computer science extended essay is an assignment that allows IB students to study a specific topic of computers and its ramifications for society and the globe.

The essay may investigate the most recent advances or future prospects in a field that is always breaking new limits and evolving swiftly.

There are several potential research fields, each with a variety of topics. They include:

  • Advancements in hardware and software development
  • A comparison of the effectiveness of algorithms aimed to accelerate data transfer or encrypt data
  • Network systems
  • Computer control systems

Computer Science Extended Essay Help

The Computer Science Extended Essay project can be quite involving.

Not only do you have to select a topic around a trending issue, but also you have to develop a research question and demonstrate a clear understanding of the topic.

Along the way, you will find some stages of the project too overwhelming to complete on time, especially if you lack a strong grip of computer science. Fortunately, our team is here to help.

Take advantage of our  computer science Extended Essay help   and benefit from the flexibility of professional writing help. Whether you need help with topic selection and writing or you already have topic to work on, you’ll find our writing service extremely helpful.

Note that we’ve made topic selection process easy by giving you more information below. So if you’re just looking for topic ideas first, you will find the rest of this guide helpful.

How to Choose a Topic for Your Computer Science EE

It is essential that the topic and its approach show a strong emphasis on computer science and delve deeply into it.

Also, it’s important to ensure your work goes beyond just a collection of journalistic perspectives on a certain issue.

It is not adequate to discuss new technological improvements and developments, you need to analyze and understand the ramifications of your findings.

An in-depth examination of trends and advancements in computing should incorporate components of computer science theory, which would indicate a high level of technical competence.

Don’t confuse computer science extended essay with Computer Science Internal Assessment . If the data under analysis doesn’t have a direct connection with computer science, you need to have the EE registered in a more pertinent topic.

The topic you choose may be from a magazine article, a website, one of the case studies released in conjunction with the computer science HL paper 3 exams, a discussion, or an idea that falls under one of the following areas:

  • Aspects of the present computer science curriculum covered in far more depth than in the course
  • Present facets of computers that may soon evolve or be subject to questioning
  • Prospective innovations that are now exploratory but are beginning to become feasible
  • Remedies for constraints seen in existing hardware or software
  • Comparisons of different computer systems that are now operational

Whichever the topic you choose, ensure it allows you to conduct a thorough analysis and present your own viewpoint.

The historical aspects of computing are not appropriate for this assignment. However, there may be occasions when it is necessary to summarize past events in order to provide context or as a basis for making predictions about the future.

You should also consider the availability of resources when selecting a topic.

We suggest that you refrain from investigating complex computing topics for which you have limited access to materials necessary to write the essay. 

How to Discuss Your Computer Science EE Topic

An extended essay in computer science requires you to use your creativity to demonstrate independent and personal investigation in different context.

While an EE may refer to a programming exercise, such as a student-designed compiler for a new programming language, the focus should be on the design, development, and analysis of the compiler as well as on language design.

You’re welcome to present program snippets in the body of the EE to support the design and discussion, but the program code can go only in the appendix.

If you’re going to work on a future-oriented computer science topic, you should ground the subject in good theory and the projections of renowned computer science authority. Also, you’ll need to draw personal conclusions based on the theories you include in the essay.

As you work on your computer science extended essay, ensure you verify the credibility of their sources. However, don’t depend too much on these source to compile this information rather than analyze it.

Computer Science EE Assessment Criteria

Before we look at the assessment criteria, it’s important to note that an EE in computer science isn’t an extension of an Internal Assessment in the same subject. 

With this respect, you may not use any data created as part of your computer science IA for the EE.

While the IA may focus on any component of computer science, the EE must not focus on building computer programs, although an assessment of an existing program is acceptable.

With that said, here’s the assessment criteria used to evaluate all computer science extended essay assignments: 

Criterion A: Concentration and Technique

Your topic should clearly describe the field of inquiry, with computer science serving as the essay's primary foundation.

You should avoid subjects that focus largely on the social side of information technology, which would be more appropriate for the ITGS course.

Also, the research question must be narrow (or specific) enough to allow for considerable, in-depth investigation within the 4,000-word restriction.

You should avoid selecting future subjects, as they typically result in opinion-based essays with scant factual support. Also, you need to avoid a journalistic approach since it tends to result in a cursory examination of computer science.

This criterion also requires that you express the research issue in the form of a question at the beginning of the essay. You must elaborate on why the topic and research question are suitable for an Extended Essay.

Criterion B: Knowledge and Understanding

The criterion requires that you demonstrate a clear comprehension of the computer science EE topic that you selected.

You may have to include clarifications or simplified interpretations of any technical knowledge collected from your sources, while tying this information back to the original research topic.

As you write, employ computer science-appropriate technical vocabulary in a manner that indicates your comprehension of the issue under investigation.

With respect to demonstrating your knowledge and understanding of the topic, it’s important to avoid making your writings excessively technical and keep in mind that the reader may not necessarily be an expert in the issue under investigation.

Criterion C: Critical Thinking

Planning is essential for the construction of an argument that flows logically throughout the essay. Therefore, you must pick sources that is directly pertinent to the research issue and resist the urge to employ an excessive number of sources.

You must analyze the research issue not only in terms of what is pertinent and essential to support the primary argument, but also in terms of the sources' credibility. This is particularly true for Internet-based sources.

Still on critical thinking, you should strive to develop conclusions throughout the essay, not only at the end.

Any study of tables of results or graphs must go beyond merely putting the data into words. It must seek to explicate the underlying causes behind the produced outcomes.

Your conclusions should do more than summarize the essay. They should also give a justifiable solution to the original research topic by tying together the many threads.

You should indicate whether others could conduct additional research to investigate unanswered questions or to broaden the scope of the essay.

Criterion D: Presentation

This criterion addresses the extent to which the essay complies to acknowledged academic norms about the format of the research.

To get a higher score, you should organize your essays into sections and sub-sections with relevant informational subheadings.

If you’re employing graphs, pictures, tables, charts, and illustrations, label them with care.

In addition, you should only include these if they are directly relevant to the research issue, aid in the comprehension of the argument, and are of high visual quality.

This criterion requires that only processed data relevant to the argument should appear in the body of the essay, as near as feasible to its initial mention.

Tables should supplement textual explanations but should not contain substantial amounts of text. If they do, then you must count these words towards the total number of words.

Criterion E: Engagement

This criterion evaluates your dedication to the topic as well as the research methods used.

The examiner will use it at the conclusion of the essay evaluation after evaluating your Reflections on Planning and Progress Form (RPPF).

For an effective engagement, you should reflect on their decision-making and planning processes during the essay writing process.

You must illustrate how and why you chose a topic, as well as the approaches and strategies that you employed while working on it.

Furthermore, the criterion looks at the extent to which you have demonstrated the logic for decisions taken throughout the planning process, as well as the skills and knowledge acquired along the way.
