How To Organize Your Dossier

Last Revised, May 2006

Omar Khan, Sir Winston Churchill High School

This is a course on how to complete and organize your IB Computer Science Dossier. It covers every section of the dossier from beginning to end, and also explains how to complete a number of the dossier aspects.

For maximum benefit, go though these notes as you complete your dossier, as opposed to reading through them all and then completing the dossier after.

These notes assume that you have Microsoft Word 2003 and Paint, and thus explain steps specifically for these programs. In addition, I highly recommend using the Eclipse SDK for your programming, and I also do explain some things (such as Javadocs) only in Eclipse. This is not to say that these things cannot be done in other programs - you just have to find that out for yourself. If you are using equivalent programs, consult the user manual and/or in-program help for more information on how to do things (such as adding a footer).

Before actually starting your dossier, I recommend you read up on Section E.
