Okay, I realise that not many people here must do Philosophy given the general lack of posts about it, but I was wondering if anybody felt like sharing any useful links or tips about revision, resources etc. Particularly with regard to set texts A few places/things I've found very useful: IB Philosophy at Pearson College Page http://peernet.lbpc.ca/Philosophy/contents.htm Notes on: Philosophy of Religion, Political Philosophy, Plato's Republic, Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, Rousseau's Origin of Inequality (Social Contract), Solipsism, Descartes' Meditations (summary) and various smaller topics.

There is no thread in this forum for Geography! And personally I think it is one of the most interesting subjects in the IB course. Although I don't always get the marks I deserve for this subject, I think I learn the most from it. As you all know, case studies are really important in Geo, and I think it would be good if we share some. Let me start of with some Population Pronatalist - Singapore Antinatalist - China, Ethiopia Arid Environments Management - Grand Canyon Land use - UAE Reversal of Desertification - Tunisia Please add more!

Several questions: How hard is it to get a 7 on IB Philosophy? Will reading summaries - e.g. Sparknotes - be sufficient for Paper 2? How are the essays graded? I know that each essay is out of 30 points. But how do the graders determine how many points you get? Do you get a point for each name you drop? Do you also get "quality of construction" marks? Where can I find a markscheme?

Hey people. I´m in a hurry, and would like to receive suggestions. I must develop a website for my ITGS Project. My client is the director of a school, and wants me to create a website for the community of the school. Being it a communitary website, it will have the need to be updated constantly with school announcements, photos of events, etc... My problem arises at this point. I need to find a website creating tool that gives me the opportunity to develop 3 or more complex techniques, but at the same time, can be updated by computer dummies. Everyone at the school sucks at technology, so I need to offer them a website editing tool that is extremely simple for them to u…

6. Socrates was illiterate and avoided the written word because he felt it weakened the mind. Similarly, many people today fear that we’re weakening our children’s minds by making them too dependent on computers and calculators. What do you think? 10. Think about educational goals in relation to technology. What should people be able to do with no tools? What should people be able to do if they have access to pencils, papers, and books? What should people be able to do if they have access to computer technology? Can somebody help me with these questions? its for my homework but i cant understand anything...

Anyone in here taking philosophy? I am in the first group to take philosophy at my school, which makes me feel more like a guinea pig than a philosopher.. Therefore, I'd like to hear about what other people in other schools do in their philosophy classes. We mostly talk about old philosophers(Plato, Kant, Freud, Marx) and do some less historical work with.. examining life? what is a human being? I don't remember the subject But it's some more practical work, and mostly historical. What's it like in your classes?

The ITGS SL consists of 2 papers as follows: Paper 1 which is related to the topics you have studied and usually direct questions. They could ask to : define, compare, or give example on a definition Identify points about a certain topic Explain points Mention advantages and disadvantages Paper 2 which is related to the topics studied but nothing is memorized. This Measures how you can relate issues in the world to IT..basically how you can use what you have learnt in IT into real life situation the first parts of the question are usually easy and rather made to make you gain marks **make sure to fully understand your case study and relate your answer to what is given …

I am thinking of swapping from History SL to Film SL because there are no final exams, and although less interesting than history, seems like a fun course. The only thing that worries me about History is that your exams pretty much determines your grade whereas in film you can guarantee your mark. Film Final Mark: 50% 4 minute short Film (you work with 5 other people and you specialise in a job like being a sound editor) 25% 10 minute oral presentation 25% 700 word commentary The universities I am applying to don't care about my SL choice subjects. What is the difference between History SL and HL?

Hello! So i have to choose my IB subjects fairly soon. I was planning on choosing HL Maths, physics and chemistry but now hearing how absolutely insane HL Maths is I've decided that i should perhaps drop HL Chemistry.. now i have to choose which subject i should choose instead. I've always thought of myself as "bad" at geography since im bad at knowing where the countries are and names of capital cities etc. Recently i did one test for geography, one for economics, and one for history. On the geography one i got 100%, on the economics one i can't remember but i was one point away from a 7, and on the history one i got 100%. I've always planed on choosing economics but no…

Hello everyone ! I study 2-3 hours a day and that seems to be enough for me, but some subjects are harder than others. Chemistry and Biology seems to require a lot more time than for example history and business and management. Biology and Chemistry are my favorite subjects, but since I think it's a lot easier studying for history and Business and management, I'm thinking about choosing these subjects for the IB programme next year (I'm in the pre-IB right now). what would you have done ? Would you have chosen the subjects where you have to study the least and graduate with good grades or put a little extra effort and get good grades at the subjects you like? P.s (I'm …

Hey guys! We have a new syllabus (as I'm sure all of you know ) for 2014 and I was wondering whether we could all band together and think of a few possible questions they may pose us! If we manage to think of a lot (especially for question 4) we would be much better prepared for this paper, which in my opinion is kinda hard to prepare for. Here's how they structured the specimen paper: 1. Defining terms 2. Applying the knowledge from the case study 3. Extending that knowledge a bit more 4. An essay using knowledge that you researched; for this one you have to have researched and done much more than just reading the case study and learning the terms, if you just did that y…

Hi everyone, We were asked to think of an IA topic in Computer Science, so I came up with an idea but I'm not sure whether it is acceptable. I thought I could make an application that helps IB students manage their CAS portfolio. So basically, there will be a database storing proposal and reflection forms, and students can fill it up and all this data will be stored in a database. Is this topic acceptable? Thank You.

Well I don't know if this is a common problem with ITGS students but I guess students do get the feeling that this is somewhat a very vague subject I am writing in two days and have absolutely no clue what I should study. Anyone have any recommendations on particular parts to focus on? I really don't think I can remember every single thing from the Computer Confluence text book, it is just ... a bit too much for me Your help will be very much appreciated

I noticed that this isn't part of the "other subjects" forum, nor does it fall into any of the categories that exist. This is an IB subject, and I think you should at least have the syllabus up. Also, do people really not have this as an option? I find it odd, since our school has been offering this subject for a very long time. Is it that schools consider this subject useless? While our cultures are becoming more intertwined, the study of Anthropology has helped me understand much about human nature. In any case, I have attached the syllabus.

Hello. I've never taken a course in anthropology before, but I'm quite confident that anthropology will be of great interest to me. I love all the social science courses. If I could, I would just take 6 courses from there alone. However, I do want to get the IB Diploma, and I chose to take theater over a second social science because my school placed all of them at the same block. Anyway, on to my question: I want to take the Socio-Cultural Anthropology course at a standard level online. I do not even want to take the exam, I don't want to stress myself over this course as I want to take it as a seventh course where I just enjoy learning about the subject. Do you think t…

Hello you clever philosophers! I have recently begun harboring doubts for my philosophy coursework - and I'm being very picky and cautious with it as I am aiming for a 7. My question is 'How practical is utilitarianism when faced with moral dilemmas?' Obviously the majority of the marks come from it being a balanced, relevant and analytical argument. I'm beginning to worry I'm approaching it wrong. Obviously, I am analysing utilitarianism, so I'm not going to be penalised for not having Kantian Ethics or something, my teacher clarified that I can obviously still have a good balanced argument with just utilitarianism: as long as I give strengths and weaknesses. So I'm begi…
