Hi guys! End-of-year promotion exams are coming up, and I'm getting very confused on how to go about doing evaluative questions (e.g. Evaluate the view that monopolies and harmful). He keeps going on about using "The Language of Economics". I don't doubt the need to use it, but if there are non-Econs points that I use, would it be alright to: 1) Talk/ Elaborate about the point and then 2) Talk about the impacts from an Econs viewpoint (with Econs lingo)? Any help/ input would be great. (: Thanks for reading.

And im having a little bit of trouble of finding supporting documents, i was thinking about: One interview with the guy who controls the papers in school like how much they use and stuff and why the school still hasn't started using recycled paper. ANother interview with someone who is looking for a school for their children, and whether the school having recycled paper would make a difference in their choice (probably won't but oh well) And for the last one i'm not sure, i was thinking about trying to find a document which…

I'm in the process of writing my IA commentary, and I was wondering about a couple things. 1.) Is there a specific type or format of graph we are supposed to use for the commentary? I've seen a couple friends hand-draw their graphs, and a couple use computer programs. Our teacher tells us that the graphs should look like the ones in our textbook (shown below), but since our textbook is NOT an IB book, I was a little concerned that they weren't right. 2.) Do the words in the graphs count towards our final word count? I recall reading somewhere here that every word in the IA counts towards the word count. Does that include the graph and/or cover page?

Hey! I am starting my BM HL IA. I am doing it on a fashion boutique run by a lady. She used to operate from home earlier but has now opened a boutique in a mall. My IA will be based on the marketing module so I need help with a suitable research question for this boutique. Also, Can I first go and just generally interview the lady instead of having to worry about the research question?. What questions should I ask her? I am completely clueless. My school opens 5th july and the BM teacher wants a rough plan by then. Thank You!

Hey guys, right now i'm struggling with data response paper 3 (HL). The most difficult part for me is evaluation. I was wondering whether you should include any diagrams in the evaluation part, as it says EVALUATION. I mean e.g for comparing increasing competition i can show that under pc it is more efficient than under monopoly, hence evaluating it is better for the consumer as allocative&productive efficiency is achieved. However i am clueless when it comes to resource allocation. E.g when it asks me to evaluate the role of decreased prices in reallocating resources or also about externalties,evaluating possible solutions. How can i there include diagrams ? Do …

In paper 1 you get to choose among 4 or 5 questions and in paper 2 you also have the choice. What do you think? Is it okay not to study development economics, or is it better to stay on the safe side and study it?
