This is an introduction post (and will be by far your easiest post of the semester) to TOK.
I would like to get an idea of the following:
1. Why did you decide to take TOK?
2. What do you hope to gain from taking TOK?
3. What questions about the class do you have going in?
You weekly answers, including this one (unless specified otherwise), should be at least 1 paragraph in length.
Forum Posts are always due by Wednesday of each week at 11:59pm.
Post due by Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 11:59pm.

The reason why I'm taking TOK as an elective because I keep on hearing good things about the teacher and the subject. I personally want to find out why everyone's saying good things about this class, this made me curious to see and learn what this class is about. I don't really know what to expect from this class but I’m hoping to gain as much knowledge as possible. Some people tried explaining TOK to me but I wanted to find out myself in class. I guess that this is a new experience to be studying a subject of this type so I hope that this will be a great semester. I don’t really have any questions all the questions that were on my mind were answered during class today and the day before.

I entered TOK because it was my only option as an elective. However, I do beleive that if I had a choice I would've chosen TOK. I hope to understand the philosophy behind knowledge. I also hope to try a variety of different types of learning, something better than sitting and listening to lectures. To tell you the truth, there are no questions up on my mind because I have no background about TOK. If I had one question it'd be what's theory of knowledge?

The main reason for me to choose TOK as my elective this semester is because it is an interesting subject. I was told that it was really enjoyable. I also heard that it was a realativly easy subject in comparison to french and spanish. I am looking forward to take as much from this coarse as possible. I hope to get by the end of this coarse a better idea about knowledge and the way knowledge influences people. I have no questions so far.

I entered TOK because i didnt have any other choices. But i am looking forward to the class because i think it might be interesting. Many of my friends told me that the subject is easy but has alot of work. I hope to gain knowledge by studying this course and learn about other people's opinions. How will TOK help me in life?

I decided to take TOK because I believe that learning and gaining knowledge is better than wasting time in other subjects. Also, I heard that Me. Cory was a really nice teacher and he treats his students with respect. I would like to learn about different TEDTalk topics and have discussions and debates with the class. I hope to gain knowlege from the subject and come up with new ideas instead of focusing on an idea for too long. I would like to know how long are we going to stay on a specific topic.

I decided to take TOK because of many reasons. The first is because i wanted to challenge myself in a corse that required deep thinking and reasonable replies, i always wanted to challenge myslef in these type of electives. The secons is that i didnt have another choice. I hope to gain the experience of knowing how to analyze a video well and to gain the most in Theory Of Knowledge. There isn't alot of questions about the class, but the most impotant one is why does everything has be on the internet or by using our smartphones or computers.

I had chose tok because I did not have any other choices other than it. I would like to gain new information and know about things much more. I would like to be taught in a different way like watching videos or negotiating with each other. I do not have any questions about the class because I do not know what it is about or what tok means. |

I didnt decide to take this elective, I was forced to have TOK for an elective becuase all other subjects were full. But it seems to be an interesting subject to learn and gain knowlege from it. Also I heard some of my friends that took TOK with you said its a great, easy, joyable subject and that they got perfect grades. I hope to learn new things from this elective that would help me in my life. I also hope to expand my mind to think in ideas from diffenrt point of views. I really dont have certain questions, but I only want to know if this elective TOK will help me in the future or not.

I did not have other choices but TOK but I think that I will learn valuable lessons that will help me in the future and I believe that I will gain experience. I hope to learn new stuff that will help me in the next year. I want to get new information that will help me when education gets challenging. I also want to improve my thinking ability. In TOK I hope to gain new skills to improve my education. I have no questions about the course.

I decided to take TOK because i think it is better than buisness management, the other elective. I hope to gain from taking TOK is to know the filosophy of knowledge. I don’t have any questions about TOK because unfortunately I don’t know about TOK. That’s why i took TOK, to know more about it.

I've decided to take TOK for several reasons. First I wantd to know what is the essential meaning of TOK. Dealing with knowledge in life im my personal perspective gives you wisdom. I hope to gain information about knowledge that eould help me in life. Stuff I've thought about that maybe knowledge will fix them. I'll see what's the benifit of taking this course. My main question is will TOK have the ability to make us think out side the box?

Well first I wanted to join TOK just for the fact and of debating and the discussions,then it came to mind the interesting topics that we talk about and the diversity of our talks. All the classes in our school are about grades, but TOK on the other hand is all about gaining the knowledge and stepping out with good mentality. I ant to have a better judgement of people and get out with better debating skills and vocabulary. I just wanted to know of how many topics we will be entertaining.
