Hey guys We're just starting to plan out our IAs and I literally have no clue what I could possibly do in my town/local area. It's a relatively boring town and all we have covered course wise are 3 options: leisure, urban environments, and hazards. My town/city isn't exactly a hotspot for any disasters, we have transit system, and the people here are generally affluent :/ the water's clean/inaccessible for collection, and soil is almost never truly "native". I guess I could always go to the nearby Met area, but any thoughts/suggestions/general ideas? Thaankss

Would it be possible to do a Minecraft mod for my IA, I already have all the stuff set up to begin work, but I'm not sure how I would go about submitting it once the time comes. I obviously shouldn't send them a copy of Minecraft (as that might be illegal), but without Minecraft (and Forge) the mod won't run. So would the video be enough? Or should I just abandon the idea entirely. Any help would be welcome. Thanks!

Well, I'm starting my second IB year in about two months, and I've already gotten books for all of my IB subjects except computer science and maths. I was wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation on which books to buy for these subjects, since my school doesn't ask for books in these two subjects so I'm kinda lost on which book covers the syllabus in an understandable and "deep" way.

Hey guys, So my computer science teacher is not particularly well at his job. He starts with a concept but whatever he says in class does not seem like teaching to me. So, me along with my friends have to pretty much do that portion on our own to understand it better. So I was wondering, fellow Computer Science students. How do you revise? Which books do you use? Do you have any suggestions and recommendations on how I could revise well for the final exams? Thanks in advance.

Okay so, my computer science teacher is a pretty bad teacher, he knows his stuff but he doesn't know how to teach it, at all. But i'm not here to rant about my Computer Science teacher, i'm here to ask about my computer science write-up, i finished the programming, the internal documentation, the log and a user guide. All i have left, i presume, is the write-up. Since my teacher hasn't provided our class with any useful information for the past year and a half-ish, we have no idea how to write up the write-up! What do we write about? How do we organise it? Last year's Year 13 Student failed computer science so i can't get help from him. So when i looked online ll i f…

Hi guys, I'm starting my first year on IB and I've decide to study Computer Science SL in spite of not having a teacher who is IB prepared so I'm going to be on my own :'(. Here is the only place where I can ask my doubts: 1. Where can I find the updated syllabus/guide for the upcoming 2 years? 2. I've been reading forums and older guides and I don't know whether or not the case study is only for HL, if it isn't, is it the same for both? 3.

I am currently working on my ITGS IA (website). I am on criterion E and I'm stuck on describing the "complex techniques". One of the advanced techniques is: Creation of original templates. But, I'm not sure what this means. I looked over some other posts, but they haven't helped me much. I did my project on notepad++ and the only "unoriginal" templates I used were the basic ones on a book that teaches how to do CSS and HTML. I pretty much followed those and adjusted them to my needs. Other than that, I wrote every piece of code one by one. Is this creating original templates? Please help!! I have to turn this in really soon! Thanks.

Do you know if in Paper 2 Criterion A you have to take a social/Ethical issue mentioned in the article or can it be just related to the IT system described? For example, if the article talks about the security, can you still choose your social concern to be a digital divide or similar (even though the article hasn't mentioned it)?

Do have any recommendation regarding book for revising political philosophy? All of the previous generation passed philosophy in my school with lower grades so it could be said that the teacher does not know the needed material that much. So, any tips about which links and books to use for this topic, previous philosophy students would be GREAT! Thanks!!

Hey guys, so I figured out the art to acing paper 1 Geography and it's time to move onto paper 2. They say that paper 2 is way harder than paper 1 mainly due to the Essay questions. So I know that I have to get cracking on the essays, which I'm not very good at. I usually only get 10/15 on the paper 1 essay and ace the short answers to get 7's but Paper 2 is predominantly graded on the Essays and I don't really want to lose marks on it. Can anyone help me to improve my Geography Essay skills? Any tips? Guide to a perfect geography essay structure? My teacher said I tend to 'waffle' a lot on my essays and not answer the questions directly; the reason why I lose marks. …

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

Hey guys! I will be starting the IB Program next year and I am taking HL Computer Science. I already did a computer science course in Grade 10 as an elective and I finished with the second-highest mark in the class (93%). My teacher is teaching an IB course for the first time and I am concerned about the grades. My goal is to get a 7 and I also have a few questions about the course: How easy is it to get a 7? Should I be preparing in any way and how? How tough is the course? What do you think about the course? Thank you for the answers!

I got my individual paper marks yesterday and one things that stands out the most is my level 2 in geography P1! I'm so confused as to how I managed to get such a low mark, when during the school year I'd been getting between 5-7. Level 2 is incredibly low and I'm starting to think that the examiner who marked my paper is having a laugh. I'm not remarking because I'm 7 marks off the next boundary but has this happened to anyone else? In another subject where they got an extremely low mark for a paper when you expected more?

I had a question about the ib anthropology sl test. What is the consequence of spelling an ethnographers name wrong... (Bourgeois instead of Bourgois) and writing the wrong publishing date of an ethnography... (1996 instead of 1995). I mixed it up since Veiled sentiments was 1986, so I said 1996 for the first ethnography and 1985 for Veiled sentiments which was also one year off..... MY essays were really good and I wrote a lot and answered the questions... Thanks!

I am a bit confused because our teacher told us that we need to be able to implement those things, but in the CS Guide 2014 i didn't see that. I am also confused a bit about advanced data structures like maps and hash tables, because we learned that, and i have seen this in our older books, but there is no word about it in the CS Guide 2014. I would also like to ask if someone would say to me what advanced data structures are we considered to implement and what sorting/searching algorithms are we considered to imple…
