Extremely helpful
By AJILW712EBCE0 on 2007-12-12
This course companion has proved immensly helpful in my studies. For every topic I personally have encountered, it fully explain all statements from the syllabus - though my experience seems to differ greatly from that of the other reviewer. Additionally, the book provides the slight amount of depth needed to understant the topics as opposed to simply memorize terms.
Perhaps the most helpful feature, however, is the short quiz/review at the end of each section. The questions are IB-style and provide insight about whether you have fuilly comprehended the material.
Altogther, I would highly reccomend this book to any IB student, escpecially one who has struggled (as I have) in a class they have always done well in in the past. It is an excellent additional resource and quite worthy of its cost.
A+ !

The Oxford IB Diploma Programme Biology Course companion is incredibly helpful. It raised my test scores greatly and it's a great supplement tool to the course.
Poor Source for Syllabus Questions
By AFUMFJQ4C6RO7 on 2007-10-30
I was very disappointed upon receipt of this book. I needed a good source for my coursework and to study from, and this was not at all what I needed. It does not even cover all of the IB Syllabus assessment statements, I firmly recommend "Biology for the IB Diploma" instead.
excellent course companion

Follows the new IB Biology syllabus PERFECTLY, so if you study from here you're sure to get ALL the details you need to know for the exam. the information is written clearly and it's not only just plain text, it's got articles and also additional material and information that's interesting to read. there are also review questions at the end of each chapter (one negative point is that the answer section just covers these questions, not the ones that are found throughout the book like in every single page, but I guess the book would be ten times bigger if it answered all of them). highly recomend it :)
