Academic honesty
All I.B. candidates must understand the meaning and significance of concepts relating to academic honesty, esp. authenticity and intellectual property.
Authentic work: Is work based on the candidate’s individual and original ideas with the work of others fully acknowledged. Therefore, all assignments, written or oral, completed by a candidate for assessment must wholly use that candidate’s own language and expression. Where sources are used or referred to, whether in the form of direct quote or paraphrase, such sources must be fully and appropriately acknowledged.
Intellectual property: Intellectual and creative expression (eg, works of literature, art, music) must be respected and are normally protected by law.
