| The extended essay is an in-depth study of a limited topic within a subject. Its purpose is to provide the candidate with an opportunity to engage in independent research. The emphasis is placed on the process of engaging in personal research, on the communication of ideas and information in a logical and coherent manner, and on the overall presentation of the extended essay within a clearly defined set of guidelines. The extended essay is to cover a well-defined research question within a 4000 word limit. Students are encouraged to choose a topic of personal interest and relevance. Each student will work closely with a faculty supervisor, or mentor, who has qualifications in the essay subject area. The supervisor will provide guidance in the process of topic selection, research options, and presentation format. Students will be apprised of the specific guidelines and available subject areas for the extended essay in the middle of the junior year. | |
