=ANALYZING THE RESULTS OF THE DATA VIA...= =THE TOOLS PREVIOUSLY OUTLINED IN BOTH [I] THE INTRODUCTION AND [II] THE RP=



In the previous section we told you NOT to analyse the data - just __state__ the main findings. We said we would analyse the data in the next section - this is that section.

This is the section where we analyse and discuss the data ....

... using the tools we indicated *

//* in the Theoretical Framework of the RP - and in the Methodology of the WR//

The IB Guide outlines the following criteria for this section


 * the results and findings should be analysed with the help of relevant business tools, techniques and theories
 * // what are the strengths and weaknesses of the different sets of data, and the potential conclusions you can draw from them.. //


 * these results should also be interpreted - what main issues emerge from the data. You should make links to syllabus **beyond your tools** here where you can.
 * // and are these issues helpful or not to you in your bid to answer your Research Question //

Perhaps the best way to wrap your head around the expectations of this section is to have a look at a few examples..



The Rubric and the Report are not split into precise corresponding sections, but it is fair to say that this section here will //heavily// influence the grade you are awarded in criteria C (worth 3 marks) & criteria D (worth 6 marks) of the Rubric.


 * So think of this section as being worth __9 marks__ of your overall IB grade !!!! **

Here is part C of the Rubric (3 marks) Here is part D (6 marks)

// This Section also has some indirect influence on part I of the Rubric.... //
