Below is an exemplar material for the internal assessment. I have also included the moderators comments so that you can see what the student did well and what they needed to improve upon. Hopefully this gives you a good idea on the layout, formal requirements of the IA.
1.FIELDWORK QUESTION AND GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT. (3 marks 300 words)
This is your opportunity to set out what you are planning to investigate in your IA. You will need to set your hypothesis & provide the theoretical & locational context for the investigation.
Here is a copy of the mark scheme for your Internal Assessment. I would recommend reviewing your first draft against the criteria before your interview with me about your work.
Are the findings of the natural sciences as reliable as those of the human sciences?
To what extent might it be true that geography combines the methods of human and natural sciences?
While some aspects of geography can be measured, others cannot. Is this the case in your IA? What is it about a quality that means it cannot be quantified?
