What are the key features of the TOK course?
Initial thoughts on TOK
Coming to TOK for the first time can be daunting. It has no concrete curriculum, it deals with ideas and concepts that will be unfamiliar to learners, and there is no exam at the end of it to assess the skills and content students have absorbed. Given that it is a mandatory part of the IB Diploma, it can also be a hard sell to students and other members of your learning community.
