TOK Essay Topics - Are They Desired?
TOK Essay Topics - Are They Desired?One of the more difficult aspects of TOK essay topics is how to provide them with the proper depth of information. What do the topics look like? What are the typical topics that students study? These questions need to be answered before submitting any essay.Depth of Information is about the degree of understanding of the subject that the reader has. How do the student's understanding of the subject compare to the standard understanding of the subject? Depth of understanding is not the only thing that need to be considered, but it is a good predictor of how much the reader will enjoy the essay. If the depth of understanding is low, the reader will only read a section or paragraph of the essay and not read the entire essay. An essay can benefit by having an excellent depth of understanding that is on par with the standard understanding.Depth of Understanding is also about the degree of comprehension of the student, what the student knows, and what th e student does not know. If you only have one topic covered and that topic is not that well understood, then that is more than likely going to inhibit the student's comprehension of the material. It is important to include details on how the student can do the research, how they are going to make the connections, and how they are going to make the conclusions. This is where the student must do more research and gather the information. If the student can do that, then the reader is not going to be frustrated by what the student tells.Students may not have the standard course materials to write their essays on, but they can use a combination of standard course materials and the required TOK essays. Most students have resources to gather the information that they need, so that should be an important part of the essay. Students should not have to pay for the textbook to learn how to write their TOK essay topics.As a teaching assistant, I find that most students have already done the nec essary research and have the materials to make the assignments. If they do not have the textbook or the TOK assignments to make their essays on, then they can use the material on the internet to make their essay. Many students find a large list of topics on the internet and follow the links to a list of topics that have been selected. They can then link to the list of ideas. If there is a discussion area in the list, they can use that information as well.At this point, if the student does not have the needed material, then they can get the needed information from other sources. If they do not have a list of topics on the internet, then they can get other sources of information. Most professors have a list of topics that have been discussed in the past. They have a list of the student's grades for each of the topic, and they can review these grades with the students. If the student has a low grade on a topic, then they may need to revise their essay to bring the topic up to a standar d.Good essays will attract attention and will make the professor think that there is something more to write about. This can result in revisions to the topic, especially if there is a discussion to be made about it. Depth of understanding and depth of comprehension are important factors in getting the essays in the mail.
