I don't know. Maybe that's the answer. Let's TOK about it.

Ethical theories are proposed by different philosophers illustrating dilemmas, often in the mind experiment. What about ethical facts? Are ethical facts = ethical judgment?

How can I start preparing for IB1?
pppraz58 replied to utbd's topic in Economics and Business & Management
Welcome to IB! I would recommend start with exploring some Youtube course videos for your subjects. It's easy to do and enjoyable. Most importantly, it could be a great foundation for your mindest. I have one for Economics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmjzgB_tUJ8&index=3&list=PL72F6BDC91310C0DA Economics is heavily based on understanding the concepts (kind of a common sense). My teacher is a textbook reader so the class is quite boring. Though the fun part is that you can apply them to the real-life context! Enjoy!- 3 replies

I think the idea sounds so great! It's just, a bit sounds like an IA, not the Extended Essay. Maybe include "so-what??" kind of thing into the research question might make the question sounds deeper?

How much free time do you have on average in year 1 IB?
pppraz58 replied to Lord of the Pickles's topic in General Discussion
I have some of the same courses. I played through my Year 1. I just kept my study on studying the concepts, not practicing doing the questions. It ended up with a bunch of free time for hobbies in my year 1. I got rid of CAS and most of the EE as well. But, it seems not for Year 2 (All IAs are done in Year 2, EE is due, ToK is finalizing, and the paper practice) -
I just finished my final IOC yesterday... I think I did quite well this time! I feel like it is basically the "oral paper 1", but the difference is that you can actually prepare for it in many ways. It just takes time... It's nice you still have 6 weeks!!! Knowing the commentary structure is quite important. The awkward silence is the least thing you want during IOC because 10 minutes is actually quite short to analyze the 30-40 lines passage. (and it is how I screwed up my mock IOC) Make sure you talk about the background information of the text. Theme, purpose, cont

Thank you very much! The book we are using now is Oxford 2014 version, which I think is good but not so great. I was really seeking for the supplementary materials and your video works perfect for me! I got less concerned about the contents now, but it seems I really should look at the syllabus to see if I covered the standards. My teacher does use the numerical value from AP course sometimes. I should be aware of that.

So... I'm taking Chemistry HL. It's about to finish my first year of IB. - I started my revision as I'm almost done with my year of Grade 11. - I realized my teacher didn't cover some parts of the syllabus. We covered up to kinetics chapter, but my teacher didn't make any test for us yet. I realized my teacher haven't even read the syllabus yet, and he basically taught us from his intuition as former AP teacher. ... It seems I have not much choice but learn from Mr Richard Thornley's video on Youtube. It's his first year of teaching IB Chemistry and I

Economics Economic HL self-study possible?
pppraz58 replied to L.smy's topic in Economics and Business & Management
Don't worry! I think it's the perfect timing for you. I'm currently taking Econ HL. For first 6 months, my feeling was like this: "Can I not attend regular class for this ****? " since the basics are about your common sense. Although it really depends on the person, but I believe Econ HL is relatively easier than other courses, for me it was Chemistry HL, to learn chapter 1-7 by yourself. The videos from this website are really helpful for my preparation: http://www.econclassroom.com/ I also recommend the textbook Economics for the IB diploma published by Cambridge. Just be careful -

HL is great if you are confident on little algebra.

I am using the Physics study guide from Oxford, and I like it except for it has little space for me to write into the book. I believe e-book version should be fine for use. ... their textbook is horribly made, though.
