Does anyone else think TOK is a waste of our time? My school has two hour lessons and trying to sit through two hours of TOK is soo difficult every week that we have ended up hating it. I know that it is about the teacher who teaches it to you but does anyone else think TOK is a waste of the little time we have available to us in the IB? Jenny

Windows Vista problem
by Guest sadfasdfeeeeee- 0 replies
- 601 views
I'm using windows vista but I do not want it to download updates automatically. I changed it to "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" but it changed back to "install updates automatically". Does anyone know a way to stop it from doing this? Is this proof that windows is spy ware, by downloading/installing things without my approval? Also, I know windows is a piece of crap, that's why I dual-boot ubuntu but I need vista for my homework (calc book on CD and can only be run on windows or mac, already tried using programs).

So, who's everyone supporting and why? More to the point, does anyone really even care? I can't decide whether I prefer the Liberals or NDP. So I need some convincing. I do, however, support the Green Party's bid for their first seat (or more?) in history. They deserve a voice in parliament too.

IB INSANE! 1 2

This is my question, how many of you think that IB has actually made you insane? I have to say that for me and most of my class, the answer is yes. I remember last year when we were taking the physics SL test, we started singing row, row, row your boat, in rounds. The proctor, who is our coordinator and TOK teacher, looked at us and said, "You people are scaring the hell out of me." And we all thought he was crazy.

All right, people. You've got 2 weeks to ask deissi any question you want. You can ask more than once but you can't ask more than 20 questions in one post and you have to wait until the interviewee has answered those 20 before asking again. Remember, the interviewee reserves the right not to answer a question. Interview closes on 08/09/08, after which no more question can be asked but deissi can answer any remaining question that is still unanswered. deissi will also get to choose the nominees for next round's interview. Have fun. -------- I can't think of an interesting title for your thread... but then that might be because my head is full of other stuff right now…

Oh, and people on the poll, if for any reason you don't want to be interviewed, please tell me so I can take you off the poll ASAP.

For those of you who don't know one of the amazing contributors to the site is Renee (previously IBStuck). She had the nerve to go to the HMSChocolate and ask for a change in username and by doing so she utterly coufused the masses (including myself). The purpose of this topic is simple and self explanatory.

Something I found quite intriguing is that when I study for memory I am able to retain knowledge best when I go over information in my head during times when I'm not engaged in mental activity (i.e. riding the bus to and from school, cleaning my room,eating, at church... just kidding about church) I have found that when I maximize my brain's resources during times when it would otherwise be inactive I actually remember information better when it comes time to use it (i.e. tests and quizzes) as oppose to the old fashion way of sitting down and studying a subject for an hour or two and then never thinking about what you've studied after you're done. Because of this realiza…
