is it very necessary to discuss ways of knowing in the TOK essay if the essay title does not mention any WOK?

...not really possible to discuss TOK without mentioning ways of knowing
It's like doing Maths without numbers.

I'm starting up my TOK essay, and was wondering if it's like the presentation in the regard that you should always include counter-claims. Should it be like make a point, show it in a real-life example, counter-claim, and then move on, or do you have to give a final opinion about whether you agree with the original claim o the counter-claim, or is the counter-claim even necessary?

A tok essay without counter claims is like a sandwich without bread... it just doesn't work.

OK, so I bring up a point, and then give a counter-claim, but then must I say which claim I believe is better or should I just bring them both up?

You guys are all lucky, my school doesn't even have ToK classes. We have one 45 minute lesson a week set aside for ToK; but there's no formal class covering theory etc; that class is simply set aside to prepare our presentations and essays (which we haven't even had explained to us). I am well and truly f***ed for my bonus points matrix.

Does anybody knows the final deadline to submit the ToK essay online?
