Students discover too late that there is too little data, or data
is inaccessible.
Bad pacing of the research and writing process
PLAGIARISM The use of the work of other authors (texts,
data, creative productions, oral statements OR ideas) without
proper acknowledgement, with the effect that it appears to be
the plagiarist’s own work or idea.
Over-reliance on web-based sources
Students discover too late that their knowledge of the subject
is not deep enough.
Ethical issues regarding gathering of data or performing of
experiments
No contribution by the student – the extended essay is a
compilation of information from other sources.
