TOK presentation reflection
by Albert, on May 24th, 2012
It was very helpful to see others presentations. I learned a lot about organization of the presentation. I think many of us lacked including me lacked specific aspects that the mark scheme requires such as different point of view. I think many presentations pretty much ended up too focusing on their own point of view. Real life situation will be immediately 0 if not stated, so these criteria has to be reviewed thoroughly.
Besides, presentations were very interesting and I think we had good attempt for the first trial. For my area of improvement, I focused too much on the interest of it and actually pretty much disregarded what criteria is asking for. Next time, I should try a topic that does not need much extra information and I will cover all the aspects on the mark scheme possible.

Is TOK a Philosophy Course? YES, in the sense that the name of the course itself is in any dictionary effectively synonymous with "epistemology."
NO, in the sense that IB-specific ToK has many philosophical elements, but is not just philosophy. ToK is at root an interdiscipinary course that allows students to become aware of how the six subject-groups on the corners on the Diploma hexagon overlap and integrate. The interdisciplinary aspect is the crucial thing . . . .

Webs & Chains Natura in reticulum sua genera connexit,
non in catenam: homines non possunt nisi
catenam sequi, cum non plura simul
possint sermone exponere.
Nature knits up her kinds in a network, not
in a chain; but men can follow only by
chains because their language can’t handle
several things at once.
—Albrecht von Haller (tr. Howard Nemerov)
