Is there a required number of CAS activities?

I've heard talk about five, ten, and that only ten reflections are necessary, plus the completed amount of hours.

Now, I've heard the ten-reflections part from my TOK 2 teacher, but the 5 vs 10 activities has reached my ear as rumor that I'd like to put to rest.

This really varies from school to school, so it's best to ask your teacher about it.

 

I mean, at my school (I'm not sure if this is necessary everywhere) we need 6 majors (2 from each category), 10 one-offs, and 1 major CAS project. We need to write a reflection on whatever activities are currently on about once a week (though this varies depending on how often your activity occurs).

 

So, yeah, it depends on your school. Check in with your CAS Co-Ordinator about it.

I think it varies greatly school to school.

At my school we need a plan (the goal being to think about long-term activities), two reflections, proof that you did the learning outcomes, and at least ten pieces of evidence that we did things.
