why no information on the CRS classes?

So Further Math SL...
So Further Math doesn't count as Group 5
 * It does, and it's discussed under the section "Further Mathematics" Splat 00:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

CS
Computer Science is also part of IB group 5 projects. There is nothing written about it in here.

NO! CS is has moved COMPLETLY to group 5. Last exams with CS being a g4 will be written in the november session 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.58.175.150 (talk) 20:13, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

History
the entire history section is wrong. what is studied in the papers is incorrect as are the lengths of the exams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.34.195 (talk) 20:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Fairly significant restructuring
There had been no edits to this article since February, but I thought it warranted some significant overhauls. I went through and restructured the placement of the information for each of the 4 courses, listing them in order from lesser difficulty to greater difficulty (this just seems a lot more logical, at least to me).

I also edited the information about Mathematics SL and HL to clarify it and bring it up to date. Furthermore, I thought that a table would be the best way to clarify the external assessment structure. The previous presentation of this information has long seemed a bit cluttered and unclear to me--no offense is intended to those who made earlier edits, of course!

I plan to come back later this week (maybe tomorrow) and do the same thing with the Mathematical Studies SL and Further Mathematics SL sections, and perhaps mention that a change from SL to HL is being considered for Further Mathematics in a few years. Also, it appears that some of the information about Math Studies SL is false (that this course also adopted the new external assessment model now used by Math SL and HL).

It also seems to me that the section on calculators needs to be rewritten. I don't think it's necessary to get into the weeds about PRFs and such, but I do think that information about what types of calculators are/are not authorized is good to include.

It was pointed out earlier that we don't yet include any information about Computer Science SL and HL. I don't have a lot of experience with these courses, so I would hope that someone else can come in and edit that part of the article. CinchBug | Talk 23:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * One more note: I think I can find the references we need to cite. We can't link directly to secure/private pages on the OCC, but I should think that we can legitimately reference the paper documents/guides without any problem.  I'll look this up in the help files and try to get that done in the next couple of days, too. CinchBug | Talk 00:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I updated and corrected the curriculum composition and assessment information for Math Studies SL. I have inserted a direct quote from the Math Studies SL Subject Guide, but I have yet to provide the citation.  Right now, I'm going to look up how to properly enter that citation and the other citations that are needed.  Once that's done, I plan to update the information for Further Math SL and the calculator section. CinchBug | Talk 14:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment
I believe what should be referenced for HL Maths is that the course is generally offered to student acheiving an A* at IGCSE. Abhijay Let's talk 08:57, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Update Computer Science
AFAIK, Computer Science has moved from Group 5 to Group 4. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liamzebedee (talk • contribs) 00:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

New Mathematics Courses
Should we add a section that explains that all of the information will be deprecated for the next academic school year as there will be new math courses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorenzoi (talk • contribs) 09:33, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
