Many thanks from your (somewhat) neighbors at IA Central

Hi, this video is of great help and absolutely awesome! But I have a question about the different perspectives and historians or Schools of thought we should be looking at in order to make sure we evaluate them properly. Could you maybe give us a few examples of a historian or a school of thought for maybe a question that talks about mutual fear and suspicion about Cold War leaders?
I'm really glad your channel exists! I revise and learn everything about Cold War and World War 2 here!
Thank you so much for all your help and for being precise and efficient!

Firstly, thank you truly for all your videos on P1 and P2, they were incredibly helpful - your teaching style is very informative and explanatory! But I have a question regarding the historical evaluation. I know the perspectives of historians, but I do not know if I am evaluating them enough. At the end of one paragraph, I usually go something like this: "Earlier historians xx say this, but this view is limited by xxx fact. Historians of later period, having more access to resources, say xxx, this view is supported by this xxx fact." Is this enough or should there be more? Our teacher, sadly, does not give any feedback on our essays, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, this video is really helpful for me to get the structure of writing a p2&p3. I have a quick question, do I have to remember the historians' words and evaluate them. If I don't, can it influence my final grade?

Hi Sir, do you have any predictions for Cold War in paper 2? I'm planning on doing practice exams today and it'd be nice to do something that's more likely to come. They don't have to be accurate obviously because at the end of the day it's contributing to my knowledge but it's just better to attempt something worthwhile. Thank Youn

Hi, thank you very much for the video. I have one question about incorporating perspectives. Is historiography and schools of thought the only way to score points in this rubric? Are there other universal ways of getting perspectives and if yes, what are those? Also, do you maybe have a sample essay that is be near to perfect ( with knowledge, perspectives etc.) and would be so great to share it via email/something else. It would be really helpful since finding such exemplars is crazy hard and the teacher at my school unfortunately isn't an IB master like you 😜 All help greatly appreciated :)

Hey Dobbie! How are you? I have a question about paper 2. Do students need to write a conclusion in their essays?

[SUAVEcritic]

Under paper 3 section of Interwar Years, will there be one question for Hitler/Mussolini/Weimar Republic for sure?

Hey Dobbie, a question: ¿How long should each essay be in paper 2?
