Dog does EE

At UWCRCN we are trying a new earlier deadline for the completion of the extended essay, it's today! As any IB diploma teacher will tell you the EE can become a bit of a nightmare for students and supervisors if it drags on too long. In the past I have had several students pushing the deadline to the final hour before postage, this is not good for them and it's not good for me. So this year we have postponed the start of classes by two days and used the time freed up for EE writing. I should clarify that this is just writing, all the practical work and research has been done over the holiday or last term. Well that's the theory. In practice the hypothesis seems to be correct that it is possible to get an EE finished in 2 days. In this mornings half way meeting I received one complete EE and the others are all progressing nicely. May not all be finished by 12 tonight but they will be a lot further advanced than they would have been otherwise. Don't be fooled by Ben's attentive looks, he hasn't written a single word.
