Reviews for Geography Study Guide: Oxford IB Diploma Programme

This is a study guide which follows the syllabus carefully. It is useful when students are completing practise extended responses, as it provides a quick and precise overview of each topic. I use it to help summarise the Development topic after students complete a series of research projects. I keep a stash of these in my class to help students who struggle with the rich English requirements of the course. * Andrew McCarthy, International School of Singapore *
