Janine Curmally – Research and Essays

“Writing a Math IA was an arduous journey, but it is one that was worth it. I truly believe finding a topic is the hardest part of any IA; to say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. I had struggled with finding a topic and some of mine had been rejected as well. I approached CourseLeap to guide me through the IA process, starting from the very beginning. They helped me deduce which topics I was interested in and guided me into formulating an exciting and unique research question. Throughout the entire process, CourseLeap teachers acted as guides, showing examples of different IAs for reference and helping me improve my academic and writing skills in order to achieve the maximum marks in each criteria. Their helpfulness and guidance allowed me to not only learn skills that prepared me for university but also new HL mathematical concepts such as partial differentiation, which I was able to incorporate in my IA. Along with CourseLeap’s help, I was awarded a 7 in only my first draft, but even still they pushed me to make it the best it could possibly be. I am thankful to all the teachers who supported me throughout this journey.”
