Extended Essay practice: Use academic integrity, citation, paraphrase, and AI boundaries
A student is using sources, notes, and allowed digital tools for an EE about "whether a compost trial improved school garden soil quality". Choose the route that protects academic integrity while research continues. Select the integrity note, citation move, paraphrase boundary, and AI boundary. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the EE research process focused and authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, research judgement, documentation, reflection quality, and expression.
Worked practice: build the decision
Work through the Extended Essay decision: subject fit, evidence handling, analysis or synthesis, then an integrity or reflection check.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
