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. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy http://plato.stanford.edu/ Reso…

Hi guys ! I am new on the forum so let me first present myself. My name is Augustin but you can call me gus. I am french and I am actually in my very first year of IBDP. I decided to take the following subjects for the IB: • French A (SL) • English B (HL) • Economics (HL) • Physics (HL) • Maths (HL) • Chemistry (SL) • The thing is that I would love to take Computer Science in addition to all my current subjects. Therefore my question is the following: " Is it possible to self-teach myself this subject ? " I guess the answer is "depends your school" So I have asked my IB coordinator but apparently my school doesn't offer Computer Sc…

Apparently 0-5 people received a grade 7 out of the 1000++ candidates who were registered in May 2010 for ITGS HL. The year before that was like 12 people who got 7? That really worries me as I'll be taking ITGS HL in May 2011 and the number of people getting a 7 is decreasing session by session! So, this makes me wonder: 1. What makes ITGS HL so unapproachable for a 7? 2. The grade boundaries are very low for a 7 at HL. (Overall for a 7 will be around 71% fluctuating only by about 1-2% per session) So why aren't people getting the 7? 3. Which part of the assessment do people usually trip up at? Paper 1/2/3 or portfolio or extension? I personally believe that the paper 1+…

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?

Good evening, This is my problem: I want to make a web page for a school for my ITGS proyect (november 2012)... there aren't any people that know web programming in this school, so I am planning to use a CMS software (like joomla! or wordpress) in order to allow easy data entry for those people. Of course I am going to create my own template in css. The CMS software will be only used for an easy data entry. does ib allow us to use this kind of software? Thanks

Hello! I'm very interested in studying Geography at university, but my school doesn't offer it as an IB subject. So, I want to read some about it on my own. What textbooks do you guys recommend? Which books are you using in class, for example? From what I've read so far, Planet Geography seems to be common. Is that a good one?

Hey yall, I am fining it quite difficult to find a topic for anthropology, I did come up with a topic and have discussed about it with my teacher and he gave me a green card however I am planning on doing two IA's for Anthropology because for the first topic I am planning on writing about body suspension and body modification however I because I have to do an observation I am nt quite sure if I will be able to do that due to private reasons and because there might not be any body suspension rituals in my country during the summer, therefore my second topic would be more of a back up plan if everything fail.

I was speaking to my Anthropology SL teacher a few days ago (and with some friends), and apparently it's been really hard for our school to earn 7s in this subject. Is anyone else taking this subject? And if so, have you (if you've taken the exam already) or your school (historically, if you haven't taken it) gotten good marks on this? For some reason, even our best students who have been predicted 7s, or have earned marks of 98-99% on their report cards always seem to get 6s. Is there something wrong with our school, or is it generally difficult to score high on Anthropology exams?

My school is introducing Social and Cultural Anthropology, this September, as a new subject. I don't 100% trust my school to hire a qualified person, in Anthropology, as a teacher. So I want material to study over the summer, so I don't go into IB fully reliant on the teacher. From what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be a textbook for IB Anthropology specifically but rather general Anthropology textbooks. Which of these does your school use for Anthropology? Is your school planning to/using different textbooks for the post-may17 syllabus?

I need a philosopher whose position is antipodal to that of Mill's in terms of civil liberties. Mill stood for individual liberty. In essence, Mill argued that the state had no right to restrict one's freedom UNLESS the individual's actions threatened to harm others. If you want to drink 5 gallons of beer a day, go ahead - just don't step foot in a car. If you want to smoke 20 packs a day, go ahead - just don't smoke near anybody else. Is there a philosopher who argued that the state has every right to intervene if the individual threatens to harm himself? Thanks!

I'm in the midst of trying to do my ITGS IA, and I've found a surprising lack of instruction during my progress through it. I've only just finally gotten the forms.zip and started looking through those, but I'm not exactly sure what to put here and there. Are there any structured guides or resources that you guys have found useful to help structure your IA off of? I'm starting to feel a little lost with the paperwork aspect of the project. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey you guys ~ At my school, ITGS is considered an easy course so I decided to take it and lower the possible workload I would have. However, the school wasn't able to offer it this year so instead, I took the course online (it's a 2 year program) so right now I'm taking ITGS HL online on this Pamoja site where I'm in a class with students all over the world. Even though it was outline, I assumed it would still be easy but right now I am legitimately failing. I do all the discussions and assignments we have each week and I do well on them but on the practice papers (which are huge parts of our mark right now), I am receiving 20%~30%... I haven't received anything above th…

Commentary: One of the world’s most important jobs has put the U.S. in great danger by increasing national debt, causing unemployment to be at its lowest, and increasing interest rates. Despite the tax cuts, Trump has increased his import and export tariff expenses causing multiple debt situations. According to this article, this debt is caused by poor decision making from the president and minor setbacks that cause major debt. Analysis: Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the United States government debt has grown faster than any other former president’s administration. Since 2012, the national debt has grown over $5 tril…

Hi I got 26/30 on my IA for geography, which is a 7. I made a very stupid mistake on my essay question on paper 1 yesterday that will probably cost me about 11 points, plus losing a couple more points here and there for various reasons. I've estimated about 42/60 on paper 1. I did very well on paper 2 this morning because I studied really hard, and I think I could get around 34/40 on paper 2. Both of those exam estimates are low estimates, just in case. It's possible the things I thought I got wrong were actually right. But I know that I lost AT LEAST 11 points on P1. Is a 7 in IB geo SL still even a possibility for me, or will my mistake on paper 1 cost me and bring m…

Can you do your computer science IA in any language? I asked my teacher if I could do mine in Python, and she said no. But I've seen other people online saying that they have written their IA in a language other than Java, like C++ for example. I would like to use Python as I find it much easier to read and write; plus I've been coding in Python for a lot longer than I have in Java. So if we can write the IA in any language, does it say that anywhere in the guide? Thanks for your help

Hello there, Our chem teacher told us to solve this question; An organic compound contains 58.8% Carbon, 9.8% Hydorgen and 31.4% oxygen by mass. Its moral mass is 102 g mol- a) calculate the empirical formulae b) calculate the molecular formulae It doesn't make any sense to me cuz when I work it out I get C5H10O4. The mass of this compound is 102 so does that mean that the molecular formulae is the same as the empirical formulae
