The essay is the culmination of a brilliant course, but it’s a challenging task which many students struggle to fully understand, and fail to engage with in order to showcase their TOK knowledge and skills.
This 80-minute webinar video and presentation gives you a clear, engaging, step-by-step guide to the task, helping you to understand the assessment rubric, choose the right PT, and produce an essay that hits all the assessment targets.
