Calculus IB Portfolio for the suck.
Seriously, if someone can give me a real and decent reason why non-IB students have to do IB work, this might, just might, become a little bit more bearable.

Because we're good enough to be IB students.
I understand your pain, Rashi. It might also have helped if I had started this one before 4:00 today.
i'm sorry... on behalf of all IB kids.
yeah.
I love IB, but I wouldn't wish the work on people who didn't ask for it.
I'm on page six of mine. All I can think of is how much paper this must be wasting, schoolwide.
what do they even do with the ib projects of non-ibers? Send them anyways? Throw them in the trash? It sucks.
It helps you learn.
maybe your faculty is just primarily sadists
The IB papers are good projects, and least they give us a standard set of expectations.
For example, I've done IB papers every year but my freshman year. In Precalc, Calc AB, Calc BC, and Statistics, the expectations for those papers are standardized, and I know what to expect and the format in which to do them (instead of adapting to a new teacher's expectations each year).
The only challenge for me is showing all the work and writing everything down instead of doing it in my head. The IB papers give us time that would be taken up in formatting guesswork and let us use it to acquire and exercise a more in-depth understanding of the concepts being studied.
Not in the case of the AB project this year. The concepts that we got an "in-depth understanding" of were "forget everything you've learned since September" and "do mindless drone-work until your eyeballs fall out." In other words, prove that the derivative of blah is blah, except you're not supposed to know anything about derivatives.
Teh useless!
say word... pre-calc... let's talk about not knowing transformations of sine functions... um... can't i sum that up in only one sentance? no... that would be too easy.
