4.2 anyone else feel like profs are adding more and more work to the curriculum now that we're all basically taking online classes?

So, I’ve personally never seen any posts supporting or praising writers who have a clean, sparse style so this is one’s for them. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re a bad writer just because you don’t write flowery, extravagant prose full of metaphors and obscure words. Vocabulary and metaphors aren’t the only things that makes writing “good”. Rhythm, tone, clarity, word choice, and voice also makes writing good. And you know what? You can achieve that with minimal description and a complete lack of metaphors. Your writing, no matter how minimalist it is, is just as valid and just as good as pretty, flowery prose.

Tips for surviving IB

* Get as much as you can done the first year when it comes to internal assessments, TOK, CAS and your extended essay. Even if it’s an outline of each, even if it’s only an idea. This way you have a point of reference when you actually complete the tasks.  


* If you’re concentrating on the project/essay part of IB your grades will drop and that’s completely normal as long as you still get your notes done, feel like you have a general feel for the subject and you just need more time to study. After you get the projects done refocus on studying because you don’t have an excuse anymore  


* READ THE GUIDES! I cannot stress how important this is. After completing 3600 words of my extended essay I read the guide and I had to change the focus of my essay because it didn’t fit the criteria for what I wanted to do and that was a pretty stressful thing to fix. Also it can give you an idea to where to start if you’re totally lost.  


* Do your EE on something you’re interested in. I really liked the topic of my EE and I’m not someone who likes to sit down for long amounts of time on one task but when doing my EE I was really interested and actually curious to write down the conclusions to what I’ve found. This applies to as many IAs that you can. 


*  Find out when you’re the most productive, for me it’s in the morning. I have a friend that got most of his stuff done around 2 or 3am. Find what’s best for you. 


* Ask questions, even if it makes you feel dumb or you think it’s stupid. You have to remember that this is your education and you should take advantage of the resources you have. 


* Past papers are a life saver  


* Make sure you take care of yourself because if your burnt out you won’t do as well as you can. Try and find a balance in your life. IB is hard and it takes a lot of time to complete but it’s not your whole life. Don’t beat yourself up. Enjoy your life. IB will only be in it for 2 years so remember that it’s temporary. 


* Have someone to hold you accountable if you feel like you’re procrastinating too much. 


* Define what success is to you (I’m still having trouble with this one). I’m not shooting for a 45 or anything around that. I know the requirements to get into the uni I want and that’s what I’m aiming for. When/if you do this remind yourself of it. 


* Don’t have unrealistic expectations, don’t lie to yourself, it might feel good in the moment but in the long run it’s going to make your life very difficult.
