How is TOK assessed? • Part 1 External assessment (40 points) • Essay on a prescribed title (1,200–1,600 words) • One essay on a title chosen from a list of ten titles prescribed by the IBO for each examination session. • Part 2 Internal assessment (20 points) • The presentation (approximately 10 minutes per student) • One presentation to the class. • One written presentation planning document and presentation marking form, using the relevant form • from the Vade Mecum, including: • • the knowledge issue that is the focus of the presentation • • a summary in note form of the knowledge issues to be treated during the presentation • • achievement levels for each of the four assessment criteria, briefly justified, from both student and • teacher. • The presentation should be an integral part of the TOK course.
