3IBA IA and Exams
As of February 25, there are now four missing IA's. The due date was Wednesday, February 23. Concerning the four, three I have heard word from, and one I have not. I realize there have been problems with It's Learning this week, but everyone else seemed to realize there were other ways to submit the document, including It's Learning. According to the IA and IB guidelines, you are now being referred to the IB coordinator concerning your IA.
Concerning the exams, some of you who signed up for the history exam skipped it. There is no make-up day and you will not receive credit for the exam.
