Let us assist you with you Geography Fieldwork
The Internal Assessment fails when students cannot translate a physical trip into academic data. We are here to help you with the transition from observing a river or an urban center to producing a rigorous statistical analysis, as well as arising challenges, such as:
“The Fieldwork Question is too broad.” Our tutors will teach you how to come up with a quantifiable hypothesis (e.g. “To what extent do river width and velocity change according to the Bradshaw Model along the River Lean?”).
“Having data, but no spatial analysis.” Geography is the study of place and space, so, any bar charts must be connected to a map or spatial context. That’s why we’ll help you choose said space according to what’s accesible to you.
“The methodology lacks justification.” You must explain why that sampling strategy was chosen over another. Your designated tutor can help you determine the reasons for the use of a technique and sample size.
“Describing the graph instead of analyzing it.” We teach you to use geographical theory to explain why a graph goes up or down; linking your findings back to the geography syllabus concepts.
Mapping the Geography Requirements
To ensure that your investigation meets the marks, you’ll need guidance from true specialists. Our team consists of IB certified teachers, active fieldwork leaders, and geography tutors who have guided hundreds of students through the data collection process ¡And some have even been students just like you back in the day! We understand exactly how to structure your 2,500-word report to satisfy all of the assessment criteria:
Fieldwork Question and Geographic Context (3 points)
Your question must have a specific focus and a theoretical background. You also should be able to locate the study area on a map.
Method(s) of Investigation (3 points)
Give a detailed description of apparatus, sampling methods (random, systematic, etc.), and justification.
Quality and Treatment of Information (5 points)
The data (maps, graphs and statistics) must be presented effectively following conventions.
Written Analysis (10 points)
Do you interpret the data? Do you identify anomalies? Do you link findings back to the geographic theory?
Conclusion (2 points)
You must directly answer your question based only on the data presented.
Evaluation (2 points)
You must critique your methods by discussing the reliability of your data and suggesting improvements.
