Assessment of essays:
The maximum mark you can get for a subject in IB is 7.
One way of looking at whether you are there already is to assess your work and deduce points for the following:
* not writing on the topic
* illegible handwriting
* focusing on oneself / not impersonal enough
* using past tenses instead of present ones
* logic hard to follow
* missing or extremely weak introduction or conclusion
* no thesis statement
* short forms
* too few literary terms used, or terms used wrongly
* excessive grammar / vocabulary / spelling problems
* important issues not mentioned
* nothing on authorial intent
* faulty structure (we should be able to see since the beginning where the essay is headed, and it shouldn't be jumping all over the place)
