louisa03 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I've heard that doing an EE in several subjects usually doesn't work out too well - in general, maybe you could specify "eating habits" a bit more, also make sure that you have lots of sources and statistics for the specific thing you choose the IB also has an EE syllabus for different subjects as well as generally, so that might be worth checking out Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayaJay Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi, I think q1 is the best one out of all of them since it focuses on a single subject, and will give you a lot to talk about. However, the first part of the question might be too broad so I would suggest you either talk to your supervisor and discard it altogether. If made more specific, the second part of the q1 would serve as a good RQ. Hope it helped! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helped! hi I’m a little afraid to write an economics ee because it’s one of my weaker subjects so I’m still thinking of more questions but I’ll definitely consider cutting out the first part of the question, thank you!

If so I will most likely not do anything psychology related because I do not take the subject and will have to read up on my own. Thanks for your opinion btw!

I would agree that your question is too broad, if you focus on the biological question it would be great Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
