The main problem for me was not paying attention to little details. They were “silly mistakes” and could have been avoided easily by simply referring to the specific labels in the diagram (e.g. Q1). If I pay more attention to small details like this I think I could achieve a 7 on the actual IB [...]

Furthermore, I do not think I prepared well for the evaluation at all. Normally, I would have gone over C.R.A.M.P.S.S. and how it would apply to [...]
On friday, our class had a socratic seminar to discuss the question “Is capitalism so deeply flawed that all attempts to ensure the public good are doomed to failure?” I thought the seminar was very productive. Everyone got to share their opinions and insights at least once. We were also very respectful of each other. [...]
Farmville is one of the most popular facebook games ever. An average of 27 million facebook users play it daily, and an average of 75 million play it monthly. The second most popular game, Cafe World, has barely 30 million plays a month. Basically, farmville is monopolizing these people’s worlds’. In economic terms, this is [...]
