__inthemaking Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I believe that 3 out of the 4 commentaries must be on different sections. I've done 2 commentaries so far, one each on section 1 and 2. Your last commentary can overlap with others but I'm not sure because technically you haven't done 3 separate commentaries, because your first one overlaps with section 4 . I would ask your teacher to clarify. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 If you do a commentary that overlaps with say 2&3, it doesn't count as doing it in both 2 AND 3. I can't remember the amount of how the modules go, but in your portfolio you basically want to have one thats STRICTLY Microeconomics, one STRICTLY Macroeconomics, one from Dev/Int'l Economics and then one that's your free choice (in your portfolio this is the one that combines 2&4) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deissi Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yes, you can choose to do your last IA in microeconomics and since you haven't done it yet, I recommend you to do so. According to our teacher, your portfolio isn't considered very serious if you lack a commentary on Microeconomics. Also, according to her, it should be something related to the Theory of the Firm (assuming that you are HL). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul_oms Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Dude just use 4 commentaries from different sections 1,2,3,4 or 5. The more diverse your portfolio is the better it will look to the examiners. Should cover at least 3 different sections but having 4 would make it look great.

blindpet Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I highly recommend you do your last IA on Development Economics. The examiners will basically frown upon your portfolio if it does not contain a development commentary. It is even mentioned in the new refined Economics syllabus that students generally skip section 5 which they are now making impossible. Then again you probably already finished your portfolio by now... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
