Shannon Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 At my school, we have both IB and non-IB classes, and the two are usually actually mixed together as well. We also have a very limited number of choices for IB courses. Anyway, I was wondering if we need to be taking a class on the subject which we want to use for our EE. For example, my friend wants to do her EE on religion, but we have no religion classes in our school and no religion teachers to be her advisor. Is it possible to write a paper on religion, philosophy, etc. if we don't even have these courses available at our school? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognac Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah. Sure it is possible to write on IB subjects you don't take.My friend writes on ITGS, although he does not have it.There are subjects like philosophy or World Religion (pilot course) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachez Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 No, you do not need to be taking a related class to write an EE on. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofib Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Even though you do not need to be taking the class that you want to do your EE in, it highly recommended that you do your EE in a course you have taken since you have the required knowledge to write a good EE. Also, it would be advisable to pick an EE subject for which there is a specialist teacher at your school since they will be able to give you valuable feedback if they have knowledge of the subject.

1-2-3 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 You can definately write your EE on an IB subject that you're not taking... For example, I know a people who did not take History, wrote their EEs on History and did well on them. However, I would highly recommend you to write on a subject that is offered in your school as an IB subject. That way your coordinator would be qualified to give you the assistance you will surely need. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nope.I did my EE in history and I didn't take it as an IB subject. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognac Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 it is NOT required (by IB)* to take EE in a subject you take.the EE MUST be on a subject that is an IB subject.*It might be required by your school's internal regulations though.
