Golden Chicken Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone.My IB coordinator told me that the 150 hours requirement for CAS is gone from now on.If so, then what is the prerequisite for passing (or failing)?

TheGreatPumpkin Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I believe you mean CAS not TOK, as you don't need hours for TOK. But for CAS the requirements have changed from needing to show you have done 150 hours to having reflections on you time spent doing CAS. Within these reflections you must me 8 learning outcomes set by the IB (your CAS coordinator should have these) if you do not complete reflections in which all learning outcomes have been met for CAS, you have not completed CAS and it should be considered a fail.Hope that helps. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmi Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean by a final reflection. Do you mean a final reflection for each of your individual activities, or one big reflection comprising all of them? If it's the first case, just gather up all of your little reflections that you've written along the way and come up with a big summary of what you've done in that activity, what learning outcomes you completed from that activity, and how you grew as a person. If it's the second case, it's similar to the first, just write one big reflection and include all of your activities. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatPumpkin Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 It depends more on the school. For my school we have to write one big end of the year reflection which summarizes how we have met the learning outcomes, ONLY if you have not done your reflections throughout the school year properly. If you do have to do an end of the year reflection at your school, it should just be a geneal summary of your activities and how you have met the outcomes through your activities (make sure you have specific examples).

turtle turtle Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 THat's not to say that you shouldn't have a lot of hours though. You need variety as well as a lot of evidence of participation in service to the community, activity and a few different types of creativity Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
