 * === 20% of your IB mark comes from I nternal A ssessments, or IA 's. For Group IV subjects this is a combination of the //Group IV Project// (see below) and other experimental labs or practicals. Also, in ESS you are assessed on // Personal Skills //. These points are included along with your two best practical examples from each of the following categories: * [|Planning]===
 * ===[|Data Collection & Processing]===
 * ===[|Discussion, Evaluation, & Conclusion]===


 * ===[|Personal Skills]=== || ===There are 42 possible points for IA's, yet final results can be modified by an external IB moderator who will receive a sample from our class. Because of this, it behooves me to mark strictly. Here is how you earn IApoints:===


 * ===[|Pl] --> 3 Aspects x 2 pts each = 6 pts x 2 samples = 12 pts===
 * ===[|DCP] --> 3 Aspects x 2 pts each = 6 pts x 2 samples = 12 pts===
 * ===[|DEC] --> 3 Aspects x 2 pts each = 6 pts x 2 samples = 12 pts===

12 + 12 + 12 = 36 pts

 * ===[|PS] --> 3 Aspects x 2 pts each = 6 pts===

36 + 6 =42 pts

We will perform a minimum of 30 hours of practical work (IA's included) both in the laboratory and in the field.
