If you guys are still trying to get organized with the EE stuff, I made this spreadsheet for myself to keep track of deadlines. If you want to, go ahead and make a copy to personalize (supervisor name, personal deadlines, etc). The colorblocks on the side are a key for fill colors when you complete a checkpoint/task. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Ws70nmisQGjXX9DU5ngr0QPPx687N7Xu4FlG66HQPE/edit?usp=sharing

ohhh this is perfect thank you jade :3

tysm

yeah np :)

@jade s. <3 an angle!!!

1

just realized i havent checked my email in like 3 weeks after i emailed my ee supervisor and ive been too scared to open it since

oh no...

i want to open my email but at the same time my brain simply does not so <3

22:18

there has probably been a reply from him sitting in there for 3 weeks

im just gonna say that it got lost in the sea of all of my other emails Lol....

anyone else doing their proposal literally today LOL

10:35

its due by tomorrow at 9 am

about to now that you mentioned it

I will, not now though

10:35

Oh I didn’t know it was due at 9

10:35

Thanks

i still need to email my supervisor about it which is making me incredibly anxious for no good reason

I emailed mine and she didn’t say anything

no problem!! just glad to let people know cause i saw it on the calendar and knew that was probably going to be an issue

10:36

who's your supervisor??

Langstaff

why would they make the proposal due before the first interaction

4

2

I said a lot of things so I think she must have missed it

RIGHT i feel like its more important that we meet first to discuss the proposal and then turn it in

10:36

also good luck exie...

Do I need her to approve it first?

it’s editable though so you could put in a rough idea and then change it after talking to your supervisor or figuring it out more (edited)

ummm i think once you turn the proposal in then she'll look over it

10:37

OH WORD?

I do like edible homework assignments

mmm edible proposal

i hate y’all

2

wait i cant just submit the propsal, i have to talk to scotty about it

10:45

how do I submit it, am i blind

i think theyre just going to look at what you have saved and you dont have to submit it

10:47

like once it's filled out and you've saved it in managebac thats your proposal

ok good

edibles?

i hate managebac it confuses me

2

me too

I have no idea how to really write a research question but from taking to Harrison I’m under the impression we can go in and change things

yessir we can

my ee supervisor read my email about what topics i might want to do, said "reviewing these rn... i will have deep profound thoughts shortly" and its been 7 hours

Thats really funny

20:41

Who’s your supervisor

OK to be fair i didnt reply to his email for 3 weeks but. still. i might just have to bs my way into a research question

20:41

mr harris

20:42

ive never met him in person and i have literally no idea where he is in the building

No idea who that is

right

Why’d you pick him?

harrison directed me to him after i said i wanted to do my ee in computer science

Same brain

uh oh i just looked in the ee proposal form and they dont have computer science as a selectable subject

20:44

it has its own guidelines pdf though...?!

20:45

so it should definitely be there

Just put science and make it their problem

LOLLLLL

20:45

i might just pick Information Technology because thats close enough

tip for writing research question: if youre stuck just hit them with that "to what extent"

I’ve had like 3 tiny meets with my advisor cause I kept having to broad a topic

21:50

Too

I thought it had to be a yes or no question?

I’m doing an analysis

i thought it was the other way around and you had to make sure it wasn't a yes/no question

21:56

i could be wrong though LOL i honestly have no idea for sure

Uh oh

Yeah what Ryann said

Ok I am 80 percent sure it has to be a yes or no question

false

22:03

it can be a question to be explained

22:04

how do you walk to the sto

I just looked at Abby Murray’s and hers was “Does movement or physical activity improve the mental and physical well being of patients with Juvenile Arthritis?”

yes/no was for history

Oh was it

22:04

Whoops

you put in jacket because cold, you go outside, you walk, you get to sto, you get your sto, you leave sto, you go home, you get home, you take off jacket, play among us

nigga what

that is how you walk to the sto

22:05

my ee

Im not sure what among us has to do with the store

22:05

Pretty sure you’d lose points on that

22:05

Thanks though

np exie I'm glad to be of assistance

I’m very lost Noah

how do you get to the sto

22:11

write it down write it down

Yes or no might strictly have to do with history

22:11

If you say so

guys mentally i am under so much strain i am so sorry

Np

yeah you only got yes or no questions in history

I always take a hat to the store though cause I get cold easily

If anyone’s still up- this is what we’re supposed to do right?

yep, click edit proposal and fill it out

Thanks!

np!

Did anyone put something under notes?

i did not

Good

00:33

I will not then

anyone else not start their ee outline yet

i have done 0 work on my ee past figuring out my topic and finding 3 articles

16:50

its due thursday to our supervisor through email but.... im sure they wont notice if i do it friday instead.. right...

By outline I assume they mean very vague outline cause I’m not really working on the EE till schools over

16:52

I have a research/thesis question though

i just realized i have no idea where to even start with my outline

By Thursday, you mean this Thursday? Like the Thursday 2 days away? If so then this outline seems to be a Wednesday night type of assignment

yep

What time Thursday?

i have no idea LOL

I’m going to assume 11:59 and I’ll do it Thursday

LOL yeah me too

@jade s. <3 your EE spreadsheet is really helpful, thank you for sharing!

hayley c.

@jade s. <3 your EE spreadsheet is really helpful, thank you for sharing!

aw of course, i’m glad it helps

reading a published study/experiment means having to sift information out of the parenthetical citations that are after every 5 words

10:34

like ..,,,...,,

where is everyone at on their EE?

not yet lol

That’s a next month project I am working on other things rn

preach

i forgot it existed

i did too but my mom was asking me how it was going and i got scared

Is there a certain amount of sources we need?

just as many as you feel you need

21:08

i think i have around 7 so far but it really depends on what you’re writing. my paper is mainly backed by data analysis so i’m gonna end up with quite a few

i have 20 but i’ve gone through none of them

i have none [smiles painfully]

hey has anyone else not started on their ee btw

11:34

if you have and you're about to mock me don't reply

✋

i have made the barest most naked outline

11:35

i have no sources

11:35

we are in this together

HEEEELPPP this is so true

11:35

im probably going to end up waiting until like literally the week of to get going

idk it was just the irony of them telling to have a relaxing and fun summer vacation while finishing ia’s ee’s and summer reading

LOOL YEAH

11:39

while i understand the summer reading is so that we can like. discuss the material or whatever immediately i think its cruel to assign three books and three essays and site work on top of all of the ias and ee

3

frr

the summer between jr and sr year for most people is like “let me work more hours and build up money, get ready for college apps, and have fun with my friends”

11:40

for ib kids it’s a full semester of work packed into three months

god this really is the last summer before college and... "adulthood" isnt it

shut ur mouth hole pls !!!!

understandable this thought is making me want to throw myself out a window

hi everyone <3 don't laugh at me for asking this but where did you guys look for your sources for your ee??

google scholar tbh

i know google scholar is an option and gale resources and infohio

23:03

i think ill start there ive heard a lot of good things

yeah!! if you're getting hard-locked out of any articles, make sure to just do a regular google search of the title and author!! you might find it on jstor or someplace like that for free

swaggggggg

23:11

i think i've heard libgen sometimes has articles for free too

23:11

sci-hub as well

23:14

OMG YEAH i just found an article that was behind a paywall and put the doi into sci-hub and the entire thing just fuckign popped up[

u can also email halaseh if u dont wanna find it urself (edited)

true!!

heres what you do

23:21

read wikipedia and cite sources that are on there

23:21

ez money

gamer pro strat

23:29

okay yeah after a few minutes of searching around for sources i cannot recommend scihub enough if you want to access a paywalled article

23:29

https://sci-hub.se

Sci-Hub: removing barriers in the way of science

The first pirate website in the world to open mass and public access to tens of millions research papers

23:30

literally all you do is plug in the url or DOI of the article you want to read and it just. spits it out for you. for free

23:31

ALSO!!! if you are on a computer there's a program called zotero you can use to organize and download your sources (it's free btw and works on mac and windows)

23:31

thats what im using rn and it lets you tag your sources so you can find them easily later and automatically spits out a citation for you (edited)

23:33

https://www.zotero.org/

Zotero | Your personal research assistant

23:34

actually let me just do this

23:37

resources for writing the EE!! ibo official extended essay guide (http://isob.ukw.edu.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/extended-essay-guide-first-exams-2018.pdf) - literally just the official guide from ib on how to write the EE. includes a rubric and things like that... i think we looked over this in tok google scholar (https://scholar.google.com) - used to find articles, academic journals, etc... generally just a good place to start looking for sources sci-hub (https://sci-hub.se/) - used to unlock paywalled articles (hopefully it's unblocked on school wifi but i'll check tomorrow!) libgen (https://libgen.rs/) - used to find books for free! you can also search for books so you might want to do this if you're worried about getting book sources zotero (https://www.zotero.org/) - program for organizing your sources/citations!! (downloadable on mac/windows/linux - unfortunately not available for chromebooks/phones) (edited)

ryann pinned a message to this channel. 08-Sep-21 11:38 PM

let me know if anyone else has any resources to add and i'll edit that message :D

ok i have like 12 sources now dead

00:37

i think i am going to retire for the night.... tomorrow. i will write like 3500+ words in one sitting and it's gonna be awesome

good shit!!

the time has come for the spirit of ib to overtake me and make me bang out ~4000 words in one sittin g

hell yes

i dont know if this will actually happen. but. we'll see

you got this, you've got the spirit of all those that came before us with you

i gotta say though it was hilarious that harrison was like Yeah if you miss the deadline nothing will really happen other than your supervisor will nag you

17:02

good thing i never open my email

LMFAO

https://c.tenor.com/0RFxc-I4l_kAAAAM/no-escucho.gif my ee supervisor desperately emailing me trying to get my ee

quick question... are we allowed to use personal pronouns like "i/me"

17:41

i was looking through some of the examples and i noticed that which was a little strange considering this is like supposed to be a formal essa

17:41

*essay

i would assume not

ryann

https://c.tenor.com/0RFxc-I4l_kAAAAM/no-escucho.gif my ee supervisor desperately emailing me trying to get my ee

can’t have a supervisor nagging me if i don’t have a supervisor

HEEEELP

18:50

what are you even gonna do about that

also great news everyone i have resigned to NOT finishing the whole thing tonight

19:00

i wrote an email to my supervisor explaining my situation hopefully he understands dead

19:01

i am definitely laying out that groundwork so i can write the FUCK out of this essay tomorrow and saturday

ryann

what are you even gonna do about that

im going to beg saal to be my supervisor, but it’s going to be weird because i saw her cry over the summer

good luck with that o7

19:02

ok lets see what i need to do here

im completely ignoring the ee and the history ia and just working on all of the other hw

- intro/personal connection - formatting in general - table of contents (basically a really shitty outline) - more research probably depending on what i put in my outline husk

- basically just getting ready to go ham on this paper over the next few days

19:03

godspeed exie

19:03

and i know some of you might be reading this and thinking "Ryann. why didnt you do this over the summer. what's wrong with you."

i am not

thank you

i am thinking “damn you got more done over the summer than i did” (edited)

but yeah ummm the reason why i didnt do it over the summer is because i just did not have the mental capacity to do anything related to school my brain was just so fried constantly
