Assessment in the Diploma Programme is a combination of multiple measures of a student's progress and capabilities over the entire course of study. Most courses include a final examination but many do not. All have some form of internal assessment conducted during the course. These internal assessments may be laboratory investigations, research projects, or text analyses. Many courses have oral commentaries conducted, recorded and uploaded by the IB teacher. With all these different means to assess Diploma Programme students, a single number score represents much more than just how well they can perform on a written exam.
Mike Cassidy, a Diploma Programme coordinator, Film and TOK teacher, and a Film examiner, helps us better understand the multi-modal DP assessment system.
