Examiner's summary

Criterion A

3/5

The student has successfully identified ethics as the key concept in the Internal Assessment (IA) and clearly indicated this on the title page. The research question focuses on a current issue regarding how effective Roblox's policies are in protecting young users from exploitation, demonstrating relevance to ongoing concerns. The work is centered around Roblox, providing essential background information about the organization and outlining the ethical challenges it faces. They should enhance the analysis by explicitly linking the key concept of ethics to specific policies and practices of Roblox throughout the IA.

Criterion B

1/4

The student includes three supporting documents in the IA, which is within the required range, but the complete supporting documents were not included. The supporting documents are contemporary, published within three years prior to submission, showcasing recent research relevant to the topic. However, the student fails to clearly label each document and does not provide sufficient depth or highlight relevant sections that connect to the IA. Additionally, the supporting documents lack a variety of perspectives and an assessment of their validity and reliability, which limits the overall analysis.
