Internal Assessment

AdornGeo’s fieldwork and report-support area, centred on the long-running Ko Samet tourism investigation.

Purpose of Internal Assessment

Internal assessment allows students to apply geographic skills and knowledge through fieldwork without the time limitations of an examination. Students collect primary information and produce a written report based on a fieldwork question.

Ko Samet fieldwork

At NIST, the archived AdornGeo IA focused on investigating the impacts of tourism on Ko Samet, Thailand, using Butler’s model of tourism to provide the geographic context.
