It is also highly recommended that students are competent in English language for both HL and SL Psychology with at least a grade C in IGCSE. HISTORY Overview 20 The study of History is concerned with individuals and societies in the widest context: political, social, economic, religious, technological and cultural. It is concerned with trends and developments, with continuity and change through time, and with specific happenings. Historical knowledge rests on widely accepted evidence, derived from a variety of sources, but also draws on information of a more tenuous nature. Historical accounts involve judgments based on qualitative evidence and these judgments may be provisional. Every generation rewrites its own history in the light of new evidence and of subsequent events and processes, and under the influence of its political attitudes and prejudices. Based on these precepts the IB History course at Uplands further develops student skills in argumentative essay writing, source analysis techniques, oral presentation and critical thinking in regard to both contemporary and historical issues.
