Overall Comments • When looking at the comments made on your paper, they may seem harsh. • Given the time it takes to grade each, I felt that writing mostly critiques would be most beneficial for your success for the next essay exam. • The next exam, I will be more true to the IB standards across the board

Common Mistakes • Not meeting the Requirements of the Command Term • Misinterpreting the following terms: • Cognitive Process • Reliable (in the prompt’s context) • Evaluate • Not knowing your Theorist/Researcher • Examples: Piaget…SHE had a theory that… • Ebbinghaus’ “War of the Ghosts” • A study was done about eyewitness testimony (no other info) • Also…watch out for the word, “prove” in your writing
