Our text books usually gives us exact answers to certain subjects, but in tok, there is almost no precise responding to a lot of topics we discuss. What intrigues me the most is how we can use the different aspects we learned in class to form our own unique and distinguished arguments and values. But although everyone may have different chain of thoughts leading to their final response, there is still a overall consensus that unifies us as a whole. I really enjoyed this course, it made me realize a lot and also made me notice how crooked the world is nowadays.

Sometimes it feels like philosophical lecture, but the contents we discussed comes from a greater scope — a total of 8 AOKs would be explore in this class. I think this helps us recognize how abstract ideas could be applied to the reality. We covered many topics in this year, for example methodology in natural science research. Through class investigation, we dissect complicate ideas into logical concepts, which allows us to understand how knowledge accumulate and advance overtime. We also learned about how their might be flaws in common assumptions, due to various reasoning fallacies. 
In general, I think the most valuable part in TOK course is the development of our value and attitude when tackling a new problem. Now I remind myself to consider more before reaching a definite conclusion, as I am aware about how one’s belief and background could twist our perception to a great extent and cause us to be automatically biased. ]]> 2018-06-26 02:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268537601 jackkpwong https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268545313 Kyohei Ishikawa 

Based on my opinion, I think TOK is the most difficult and eaziest class in IB DP course. In the class, we were told to learn about different ypes of knowledge, respect to the area where the kneoledge from and methods of how these are observed. We have studied a vraity of concepts in different topics, for example, importance of observation in history of human science, etc. One of the reason for me to say the class is eazy because the student only required to be aware of these knowledge and able to demonstrate them. On the other hand, we can assume that the class is difficult because not all of us are capable of these concepts at the first time. Just like mathmetics, if the student is aware of the concepts in the class, he is able to answer the question based on it. While the student doesn't understand it, he may struggle for all of the questions. TOK class requires student to understand knowledge, and use them to increase the way how we interpret the world. Therefore, based on the simplicity of class and the degree of depth in study, I think TOK is both teh eazy and difficult class in DP.

I think TOK is not a easy class in DP course. We used to learn Ways of knowing (WOK) and Area of knowledge (AOK) in this class, we also discuss in the class about different types of knowledge. Every question had it's own answer, but in TOK class, there is no exact answer for each question. The result that you get, only led to the further discussion.  The fun of this lesson is that every people get to discuss a certain question together. In this class, I learned about before we know had a answer before, we might to considered more before we make the final result. The most interesting part for me is human sciences. When we discuss about the human behavior, not only by experiments but observations. TOK class let me learns a lot, however, I think this class is still not that easy to learn for.

I think the course TOK in DP is challenging but interesting. In TOK lesson, it requires students to think in various perspectives instead of providing the exact answer. There's no right or wrong in a TOK questions if you can approach to a question with a logical reason, that's the reason why we learned ways of knowing to improve our thoughts. Furthermore, I enjoyed to have a group discussion with my classmates, because we got the same question but our opinions were all different. Therefore, it was a terrific experience to learn from each other to develop our knowledge. Even though TOK lesson is interesting, I still think that TOK is quite challenging especially when we were doing our TOK presentation, My teammate and me spent lots of time on research and organized the ppt in order to support and explain our claims and counterclaims. Although TOK is a complex course, I would still put effort in it to comprehend more knowledge to improve my thought. ]]> 2018-06-26 12:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268598834 leochiang5029 https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268684800 TOK is one of my favorite course in school. It introduces may different concepts and knowledge that have not being mentioned in the normal classes. In general, I enjoyed most of the course content. They kind of inspires me and opened a new concept of life/thought toward the surrounding. TOK class is always mind blowing. The topics being introduced are also useful and applicable in life, comparing to other courses. In my personal opinion, we can do more case study in order to have a better descent understanding of the WOK and AOK.]]> 2018-06-27 04:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268684800 https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268819927 Momo

I thought the course was just like other courses, student think and learn just to achieve well as the outcome in the entire IB DP program. I would have answered TOK is simply a philosophy class which student required to take in the IB program. In fact, it is true that we have to finish assignments and other stuffs which need to be graded. Nonetheless, I think TOK provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the “nature” of knowledge by questioning how we know what we know, and that we will have an easier time questioning old things we know and new things we learn. ]]> 2018-06-28 04:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/268819927 annietsou20010805 https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/271368162 Annie

I have been looking forward to TOK class since MYP, and after experiencing it for a semester, I enjoyed it a lot.
 It stimulated and encouraged the completeness of my thoughts, my world views and values, also enhanced my knowledge of philosophy and different areas of studies. And most importantly, I think it trained me to observe and care more of my surrounding and ask questions about the world I see. In all types of mean, I think TOK class made me become a better “Inquirer”. ]]> 2018-07-29 13:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/paulrosevere1/vqv4mo62oea9/wish/271368162
