by Rodgers

Developed in collaboration with the International Baccalaureate Organization, Oxford's Course Companions provide extra support for students taking IB Diploma Programme courses. They present a whole-course approach with a wide range of resources, and encourage a deep understanding of each
subject by making connections to wider issues and providing opportunites for critical thinking.
With coverage of the 2007 course outline, this course companion has been written by a principal examiner for IB Diploma History and has been extensively reviewed by teachers, consultants and the IBO. The book contains a unique approach, integrating theory of knowledge and internationalism
throughout. Lively and accessible, activities and features are provided for learning and discussion around core and wider issues, and include much needed guidance on study and writing skills. Also included are exam and Extended Essay advice.

[Sarah LeFay · Rating 2 out of 5]

Informative at times, incredibly patronizing at others (I think the only way you reach the last year of IB-level history without knowing what "partisan" means is if most of it were taught in a language other than English... in which case, wouldn't it make more sense to translate the book for those students rather than define every word that wouldn't be taught by the fourth year of Foreign Language in parthentheses? Or perhaps just use the simple word rather than the "big" word and bypass the whole issue?). Also, IBO needs better proofreaders. Ex-President Robert Nixon and the Catholic hurch, among others, probably take a bit of issue.
