I remember when I had to do my ib exams..ib was somewhat new when I went and I was so depressed about them. after I took the exams I was so relieved to have gotten them out of the way hope you did well
@GArodrigo Perhaps you refer to when I say that we can study either Canada, the US, or Latin America. I refer to "Latin America" as a whole because that is what the curriculum entails. Not sure what makes you think that I refer to it as a single country.
you said so yourself: "Canada (saingle country), the USA (single country)(you should reeeally include the A) and Latin America (according to the trend you're following, it's perceived as a single country)"
@GArodrigo Yes. The curriculum is that the class studies either the US (one country), Canada (one country), or Latin America (multiple countries). Just because the other choices are one country, how does that make Latin America a single country as well? Don't make assumptions if you know nothing about the course.
@fezmovies just so you know, I AM taking the course (SL because the coordinator just wouldn't let me take a fourth HL) and my exams are this friday. it's not that personal against you, i just think that the naming itself is evidence of bias, it's just something that bothers me, EVERY time that I read or hear the phrase "Latin America" or I observe someone mistaking any other south or central American for a Mexican, it just makes me sick.
@GArodrigo Well just for the record "History of Americas" is only part of the HL (as far as I know, I could be wrong). Good luck with your tests. I think you're over interrupting it; nobody thinks of "Latin America" as a single country just as nobody considers "Europe" or the "Middle East" as one either. The nice thing about studying LA for the tests is that there are numerous leaders from various countries you can compare and contrast.
@fezmovies yeah, it's a regional option, i know, i take History in HL but i'm doing the exams in SL... the teacher says that the populisms will work for R&R of single party and authoritarian states and the mexican and cuban revolution will work for Cs, Ps and Es of war. they might, but i'd rather focus on the core stuff
@HeyKidStopIt some of my notes are available on my website (dannyzeff dot kom slash schooltools), just fix that url. one day i hope i'll get all my sources up there.
If I recall correctly, I studied specifically 3 sections I learned in HOA: Mexico Revolution, Single-Party States, and something else. On the actual Paper 3, I got lucky there was a Castro question IDENTICAL to a Castro question I answered on a test in class. So I easily wrote that with the Castro outline I studied. I don't remember the other two as well. There weren't a lot of Latin America q's even though that's what we studied. I think I wrote one on the US constitution and made up sources.
@fezmovies Ok, cool. I'm taking the IB exams in May and I am not exactly looking forward to preparing for Paper 3. There is so much material to study.
omg I feel your pain. i was in the exact same position as you...also took History of the Americas..I still remember that weekend and I felt the same way as you. Well, now it's over! Hope you were satisfied with your results!
i hear ya man!! i've got tests every day this week plus mon next week. just took paper one and two history today. it went better than i thought but still was mentally exhausting and long..
you're obviously unintelligent....... = =

How come an ib student refers to latin america as if it were a single country?
