I took IB Global Politics SL. If you are not interested in current events or politics, then do not take this class. This class requires a lot of writing. The unit tests require essay responses and short paragraph answers. You need to take good notes and memorize them. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CASE STUDIES!! Case studies are good to have on tests. The engagement activity, or the internal assessment for the class, is a pain. I had to complete it during quarantine, so it was nearly impossible. You need to engage in political action, so please start it in advance and read over all the requirements. If you do not have a strong work ethic, do not take this class.

The teacher makes the class interesting and fun. However, he is not very helpful when it comes to the internal assessment. He did help a little bit with the assessment, but not until the due date for it had nearly approached.
