All places of learning require academic honesty The IB has clear guidelines for students and teachers “An authentic piece of work is one that is based on the candidate’s individual and original ideas with the ideas and work of others fully acknowledged.” (2003) All ideas and work of other people must be acknowledged in writing, according to accepted formats, such as MLA Handbook
4
Plagiarism: presenting the ideas or work of another as your own Collusion: supporting malpractice of another candidate, such as allowing your work to be copied Duplication of work: presenting the same work for different assessment
5
Passing off others’ work as your own: copying research papers; works of art, music, film are also included Collaborating with others on the final, assessed product when it is attributed to one person Duplication of work for more than one subject Downloading free research papers for use Buying research from others Translating research from other languages Cutting and pasting from several sources
6
Quoting less than all the words copied Paraphrasing without attribution Faking a citation
7
Ignorance in not understanding the need to acknowledge sources Careless note-taking Access to tempting and easily accessed on-line sources Stress and competition- linked to time management issues Misuse of tutoring and over-dependence on help Attitude to the task and reasons for undertaking the programme: being more concerned with the product than the process Running out of time for research and development of original ideas
8
Self-defence- “everyone does it” Expecting it will not be spotted Too many choices to make- so some tasks have low priority Perception that authorities condone cheating or are complicit in it Looking for shortcuts and ‘breathing space’ (based on Harris, 2001)
9
Seek and accept guidance on research and writing skills Be aware of the consequence s of malpractice Understand the school and IB guidelines Be aware that schools and examiners use programmes like Turnitin Be aware that schools and IB randomly select work for checking Be organised and meet deadlines- late work is checked Enjoy the learning journey for its own sake
10
Bibliography- the list of all works used in preparing an assessed task (including AV sources) Bibliographies are broadly divided in two areas: Works Cited (a reference list of primary and secondary works quoted or paraphrased, or their key ideas discussed) Works Consulted (works read and considered but not used in a specific reference)
