Common problems …
• Students discover too late that there is too little data, or data is inaccessible;• Bad pacing of the research and writing process;• PLAGIARISM/ Citation/Referencing and Bibliographical works;• Over-reliance on web-based sources;• Students discover too late that their knowledge of the subject is not deep
enough;

Supervisor MUST know Subject Specific Requirements!
![Page 12: Extended Essay and Supervisors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a526c1a28ab040e8b6a25/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
History Choice of topicThe topic must:• focus on the human past (at least 10 years ago);• lend itself to systematic investigation in line with the published assessment criteria;• It is not a requirement for the topic to be chosen from the Diploma
Programme history course;

Things to avoid in History EE
• Students should avoid straightforward “What” and “How” questions as they tend to lead to narrative treatment; instead “How significant…?” or “How successful…?” are more likely to engage students in analysis.

EconomicsChoice of topic• Multidisciplinary topics
It is essential that students answer the question using economic theories and concepts, and that the work does not diverge into another subject area;
If students……..they can undertake an interdisciplinary World Studies EE;
• Five-year ruleTopics should not be historical. They should relate to economic information, policies, outcomes or events that are no more than approximately five years old.
