Okay, I realise that not many people here must do Philosophy given the general lack of posts about it, but I was wondering if anybody felt like sharing any useful links or tips about revision, resources etc. Particularly with regard to set texts A few places/things I've found very useful: IB Philosophy at Pearson College Page http://peernet.lbpc.ca/Philosophy/contents.htm Notes on: Philosophy of Religion, Political Philosophy, Plato's Republic, Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, Rousseau's Origin of Inequality (Social Contract), Solipsism, Descartes' Meditations (summary) and various smaller topics.

Hi everyone!!! So to May I have to choose my IB subjects. I am definitely taking Math HL AA ( I just love this subj) and English HL ( we are forced to take this, because it isn’t our native language). Also I have to take take polish SL for sure, but then I have a problem. I am considering an idea whether to take geography HL or physics HL. Everyone is saying that physic HL is so demanding and it is difficult to survive this, and geo HL is just super easy. However I don’t enjoy geography - I just hate any theory. I have more scientific mind. On the other hand, when we now have started magnetism and electricity - it is also more theory than exercises and it is not as…

Wow, I haven't been on this site since I started MYP. It's great to be back here, this time as an IB student!! So we were recently introduced to our Global Politics IA (Personal Engagement Activity), and I'm semi-lost as this is a newly offered course at my school and no one's ever taught it before. My teacher isn't being that helpful in terms of the expectations and all, but I have a broad idea of what I need to do. We're expected to have proposals ready in the next couple of week and present them to our teacher for approval. As this is a relatively new course offered by the IB itself, there aren't that many resources available for help or inspiration. I feel as tho…

For the past 2 years I've been trying to complete my computer science IA based on very little support from my teacher. The class had never been taught how to code properly and more importantly how to make databases and make http requests. After lot's of struggle I have a quite poor Android Studio application that meets few success criteria of the client. I'm wondering If even with a detailed criterion B and planning stage I could get decent marks? The teacher gave the impression that without a perfectly functioning and complex programme that we would fail so all of my efforts have been towards trying to make the application despite having practically 0 coding experie…

Hi guys! Recently our Computer Science teacher assigned us to find a topic and a client for our IA. I found my client who requested an android app that would let him save bills of the things he bought and track their warranty date. I liked this idea because it seemed manageable. However, when I presented this idea to my teacher he said that it is an alright idea but I don't have a chance of scoring more than a 5 for it. His reasoning was as follows: firstly, writing anything for android usually requires you to use APIs and supposedly IB tends to grade the projects using APIs poorly, secondly for the project to be graded higher it needs some kind of more advanced c…

Regarding the ITGS IA, does it have to be of an actual client? Can it just be a real situation but the actual personal information be changed? Also out of the possibilities like a database and website and etc., what is easier because I'm SUPER BAD at technology which makes me rethink life and wonder why the hell I'm doing HL ITGS.. (don't ask I'm just really stupid).

Hi everyone, We were asked to think of an IA topic in Computer Science, so I came up with an idea but I'm not sure whether it is acceptable. I thought I could make an application that helps IB students manage their CAS portfolio. So basically, there will be a database storing proposal and reflection forms, and students can fill it up and all this data will be stored in a database. Is this topic acceptable? Thank You.

I'm considering taking the Ib next year, and I have a question : I'd want to take the music subject, but I've only been learning the violin for 1 year and half (I don't play really well). Is it still possible for me to take this class? Will my assignments and what I learn be in relation with my level, or how does it works? Or must I be really good at my instrument to take the music subject? Thank you a lot for your time, if my question is not clear let me know!

Hey there my Gs, I'm about to start IB in a few months, 3 to be exact, and I wanted some final pointers on Subject options for myself. So I'm in a dilemma between Geo SL and Econ SL, but the thing is I am notoriously bad at Econ and absolutely despise going to Econ classes. But people are telling me to not switch subjects at this stage, which is why I am having a bit of doubt. If someone could shed some light on which is a little less challenging/doable that would be real helpful

I am wondering if anyone has done or has heard of someone doing video editing as their ITGS project. Basically my IA would be a commercial because finding a client would most likely be a product based company. This would help my school is tiny and basically I'm forced to do this class unless I want to do music or art.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if my ITGS IA product could be a brochure because when I read one of the PDF IB files it says that for Desktop Publishing it is "ideally 12 pages"... so that got me confused. Or should I just make a magazine? Any idea, suggestions or tips? Thanks soooo much in advance. My client's problem is that the customer base is limited so he wants more people to be aware of his business (which is a library). Let's say the IT solution or product is a magazine..... should I just use pictures of books and include descriptions there as a way to inform people about the library or wouldn't that be counted as advertisement or solving the client's problem?

Hello. I am having trouble picking the Group 3 choice for IB. The options are History and Geography. I do not know which one to go with. When I asked people's opinions of which should I take for IB, most of them, including my parents, suggested that I should take geography since it is the easier subject. However, I dislike geography and I tolerate history. Also, taking IB History would grant me two 12th grade university credits (Year 1: CLN4UE, Year 2: CHY4UE), while IB Geography only grants me one (Year 1: CGD3ME, Year 2: CGW4UE). Also I am not a social science person, which means I can't decide which social science should I go with. I do not know which university progr…

Hey there! I have a question regarding the MLI. Is it really a big deal if the chosen pieces are inappropriate? So I was looking at the criteria, and the only criterion that affects the chosen pieces is criterion A. The rest are independent, or so it seems (it's never explicitly stated). For instance, criterion A tells us that "This criterion concerns the student’s choice of musical examples. A student should choose one (or more) musical piece(s) from each of two identifiable and distinct musical cultures. These examples must also share two or more significant musical links that can be investigated in detail.". However, if we look at the grading, and s…

Good Afternoon/Morning Computer Science Students, Hopefully everyone is enjoying their weekend..... Just a question regarding the pseudocode conventions (Topic 4) surrounding switch-cases. I have had a look at the IB Comp Sci guide and "Approved Notation for Developing Pseudocode" and have not found anything regarding it. Does anyone know if we can use switch-cases in pseudocode? If not, maybe I'll just have to go back to if, else if, else if, else if, else. Oh well. Thank you very much in advance.

My philosophical question I thought of is: Should suicide be an option? or this question: Why shouldn't we commit suicide [I like this one more] I would really appreciate any; ideas which I could contribute to this IA as I am currently experiencing Writer's block.

So im 4 months into IB and I've taken IB math HL. In these 4 months we've had constant tests in which I've barely managed to get a 3. Im considering shifting to SL but many unis prefer math hl students for computer science courses. I've shifted to IB from CBSE where i managed to get an overall of 97% in math. Despite this i am unable to do math HL. Do all universities require math hl for computer courses?

For our internal assessments (e.g. Biology), will you fail IB if you don't do in-text citations, but you did do the works cited at the end? I have a whole list of works cited on the last page but no in-text citations throughout it. It is difficult to go back and find each sentence to in-text citate it. In-text citations are a pain and it's giving me anxiety! Please help! Thank you very much!
