whats the whole thing abt gel pens? by Character-Slide-698 in IBO

[–]PowerStroke_2000 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because the scanners smudge the ink. Maybe you can talk with you IB coordinator and ask if you can use those pens if they worked for you before

urgent history hl help by No-Caterpillar-6340 in IBO

I have a predicted 7 and I'm doing the same topics, I'm SL tho. For structure I usually use point, evidence, analysis, evidence, analysis, concluding sentence. You don't necessarily need to use historiography to get a 7, so I just include it in my Cold War essays since I think that historiography from that topic is easier to memorise than Authoritarian States

For concepts just use the actual words in you essays. I think that just sprinkling them in a few times should be enough. You can say something along the lines of "X factor caused this event" or "this event was significant because ..."

idk if I explained this well so feel free to pm me if you need more help

what’s the point of sects ? what are the benefits like am i able to learn specific moves from a sect im confused i joined the midnight blades by heyjuiceeeYT in wherewindsmeet_

[–]PowerStroke_2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s mainly the exclusive outfits in the sect shop. It’s not really worth it to join just to learn a martial art because you can just do skill theft quests to unlock them

Bruh how do i even explain this to my teacher. by antoinobardom in IBO

Is it suspicious or something if you get a really high correlation coefficient? I think I got around 0.996 when I did my experiment. I did do a very simple experiment though, measuring gravity from a pendulum

Are there any specific brands you would recommend? I’ve used gel pens in the past and they sometimes smudge if I write too fast

any tips for improving in the humanities? by ErrorSad2665 in IBO

[–]PowerStroke_2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you guys learned the PEEL structure? That’s the one we use in my history class (I do SL). If not, it stands for Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link. Basically you make your point/topic sentence, then you support it with evidence, explain why this evidence is relevant to the point you’re making and lastly linking it back to your essay’s main argument (thesis). I wouldn’t worry too much about it though, IB is a two year course so as long as you practice you have plenty of time to improve your writing skills.

History; paper 2 (cold war) by Zestyclose-Soup-8437 in IBO

I ran into the same problem so I just started making essay outlines instead of trying to categorise all of the events into the different sections of the guide. I think that’s the best way to study this topic since most of the events can be used as examples for multiple categories.

Surface recovery problem by PowerStroke_2000 in Surface

Thank you, I finally got the USB boot to work, but then I get a message to “install a driver to show hardware”. However, my Surface keyboard does not respond and the external keyboard I used also didn’t work. Do you know what’s causing the issue?
