Hey so if any of you have taken the 2012 exam or are taking the 2013 exam, i would appreciate it if you could share information regarding the new Paper 2 exam. Our teacher just showed us the generic questions for the paper and informed us that we will be analysing an unseen article related to one of the 6 areas of impact ( health, business, home and leisure, politics and government, science and environment and education) But some of the articles contain technical knowledge that we haven't been taught for example: QR codes. Can anyone give me a brief list of the basic technical stuff we need to have a good grasp of?

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…

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?

Given that one of the prescribed titles for Philosophy is The Ethics of Authenticity, and while notes on it exist online, they are hard to find, I think it would be a good idea if there was somewhere they could be pooled and people could note class notes and ask for help.

*NOTE: while I am still completing this, I shall post it and then be 'editing' updates to it, to avoid losing it, and be able to pause!* Hey everyone! Currently revising for my paper one philosophy mock, and figured I'd pull my revision together to make a huge thread attempting to help fellow philosophers. I'm not sure how the course differs between SL and HL therefore if this will be of much help to SL students. Additionally, it is worth noting that my optional themes are ethics and religion, so no epistemology/politics/art... Sorry! I'm not arrogant enough to assume I have everything, so if you have anything to add, please do so! If you find this thread helpful, a reply…

Hey, I graduated from the IB in May 2012, I passed and got to my uni. Now, our Module tutor in philosophy has given us an amazing assignment for our first assessment: write a conceptual analysis of 1,000 words on one of the following concepts: love, friendship, happiness, forgiveness, goodness and trust. I'm trying to analyse the concept of forgiveness and I'm a little (a bloody lot) stuck. We're not allowed to use books either, but I have no idea where to start... So guys, please help me?

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

Students of Nov 2011 and earlier, Can any of you be kind enough to share your grades? Did anyone get a 7? Cause according to the IBO statistics 0% got a 7 during May 2010 exams, which is slightly worrying. I'm aiming for a 6 atleast, and would be grateful if anyone could link me to actual IB books specific to the course. Or model answers to those 10mark ( analyse/evaluate) questions. The syllabus has changed for 2012 onwards, is the old paper 2 the same as the current paper 1?

Hi, so I´m starting to work on my Geo fieldwork and I´m looking at the Sphere of Influence of two large universities. My question is, could anyone advice me on how many people I should survey? And also, should I ask more questions apart from where they commute from? I´m a bit at loss as to what to do and my teacher won´t help me until I give her a plan. Thanks!

I've read up on the geography syllabus and it says that: "Students are expected to include well-drawn, large, relevant maps, sketches, tables and diagrams as often as applicable". My teacher says that we could and should include them, though she didn't give much detail (I will try asking her again). However, I still have several questions: 1. How much detail is required in a graph? Can it be like in maths where there is a differentiation between sketching (where you draw a diagram with a few relevant data points without necessarily being in scale) and actually graphing? My concern is that if I simply do a rough sketch, I would actually be penalised as opposed to being gi…

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?

So IB is making major changes to its computer science syllabus. It's now a part of Group 4 (experimental sciences). As well, learning Java (or any programming language for that matter) is apparently not mandatory. Options have been included (yay) So my question is, If I'm taking the exam in May 2013, does the new curriculum affect me? In my school, we don't do computer science at all in Year 1 (regardless of HL/SL) because our grade 9/10 computer science program is rigorous. So from a teaching standpoint it isn't impossible to teach the new curriculum. http://www.ibo.org/recognition/dpchanges/documents/CompSciUniversityGuide.e.pdf

After being told by our teachers for 2 years that we should use the term "HIC (highly industrialised countries)/ LIC (less industrialised countries)", rather than the usual MEDC/LEDC, I still doubt whether this is right or not since I have not yet come across a single textbook that uses the HIC/LIC terms. What would you say? Many thanks!

Gong ho IBros, After learning from this magnificent community that we could be penalized in our language A1 paper for using literary works that were not studied in class during our two year voyage (apparently because the teachers send out forms stipulating what books they chose to teach to the IB examiners, which are expected to read them beforehand), I am starting to wonder whether I did the right thing in investing my time and sweat understanding John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" over Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morals", which we studied in class and which I found to be as enjoyable as sucking on a poop nugget. What seems to save me however is that, unlike the language A1 p…
