Writing an extended essay can provide a fantastic opportunity for you to develop your research skills, and you can get more in depth about the topic you are interested in.
*Tips: the extended essay can be one of the supportive materials in your application of university, so think twice before determining a research question for the EE!
TOK is a subject that learns about the essence of things. As a result, we usually ask 'how' and 'why' instead of 'what'. Through this course, you can learn to evaluate a phenomenon or a thing from different perspectives.
