[quote=Anonymous]Why is anyone surprised IBDP on its own is not that big of a deal? The breakdown for what’s required and the amount of teaching hours: Theory of knowledge: 100 hours of light discussion Creativity, Activity, Service: used to be 150 hours, but they removed the time mandate because of rampant cheating and misreporting and now they focus on “learning outcomes”. Extended Essay: 50 ish hours In all, the diploma specific tasks are 300 hours of easy work with most of it (CAS) being self reported with no assignments and no verification. An HL class is 240 hours, and that’s a college level work, not sitting around chit chatting. It would be completely unfair to give the edge to a diploma candidate taking it easy with fluff instead of someone choosing to do a challenging HL class like Chemistry instead. Colleges aren’t stupid.[/quote]
