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

The student uses three specific, personally relevant objects rather than generic examples, which makes the exhibition concrete and grounded in the real world.

The student's strongest object shows a clear distinction between raw evidence and expert interpretation, which is a very effective TOK move.

Across the exhibition, the student consistently connects the objects to the idea that expertise shapes access to knowledge, understanding, and decision-making.

Some claims are broader than the evidence in the objects can fully support, especially in the social-media example.

The explanation of who counts as an expert is sometimes too general, which weakens the precision of the argument.

A few links to the prompt would be stronger if they were tied more closely to the specific details visible in each object rather than to general ideas about institutions or authority.
