General Questions about the TOK course/requirements/criteria

I'm starting up my TOK essay, and was wondering if it's like the presentation in the regard that you should always include counter-claims. Should it be like make a point, show it in a real-life example, counter-claim, and then move on, or do you have to give a final opinion about whether you agree with the original claim o the counter-claim, or is the counter-claim even necessary?

A tok essay without counter claims is like a sandwich without bread... it just doesn't work.

OK, so I bring up a point, and then give a counter-claim, but then must I say which claim I believe is better or should I just bring them both up?

You guys are all lucky, my school doesn't even have ToK classes. We have one 45 minute lesson a week set aside for ToK; but there's no formal class covering theory etc; that class is simply set aside to prepare our presentations and essays (which we haven't even had explained to us). I am well and truly f***ed for my bonus points matrix.
