IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) HL Theory of Knowledge Example

The student chose three specific, personal objects that are clearly connected to the prompt.

The student's exhibition has a coherent focus and each object contributes a distinct angle on the same central question.

The student makes genuine attempts to explain why each object matters, rather than only describing it.

The student's use of lived experience gives the exhibition authenticity and relevance.

Some of the student's ideas stay broad or repetitive instead of developing a precise line of TOK reasoning.

At points, the links between object, experience, and knowledge would be stronger if the student explained the mechanism more clearly.

A few claims are asserted too generally and would benefit from more careful qualification or a concrete example.

The discussion sometimes leans more on personal reflection than on sustained analysis of how knowledge is shaped.
