HUM-10 · IB / AP Research scope lock

Write the research question and method section that fits the official rubric without scope inflation.

Official AP Research or IB EE rubric excerpts the teacher provides from current course materials. Student draft RQ + method. Scope-lock checklist (what is out). Computational component sized to finish. Non-claim list drafted at proposal stage.

RQ that requires a lab the student does not have. Method that promises a literature review of fifty phantom sources. Skipping the official rubric language.

Locked RQ; method section mapped to rubric rows; out-of-scope list; timeline; mentor sign-off that the scope can finish.

CT: rubric as design constraint. CR: finishable method. CO: peer tries to inflate the RQ — student defends the lock. CM: proposal packet. CZ: future self at deadline.

AP/IB supervisor reviews rubric mapping. School-supervised.

R1: one RQ. R2: method matches rubric. R3: computational piece sized. R4: out-of-scope explicit. R5: proposal clear. R6: non-claims early.

(a) Dissertation cosplay. (b) Method that needs invented sources to look serious.

Lane A immediately (AP Research / IB EE wrappers). No verified credit claim.
