Malpractice Plagiarism: How to avoid it You must reference your sources AND You must make it clear which words are not your own AND No extensive quotes; no very close paraphrasing Collusion: How to avoid it Discuss your work with others, but don t give anyone a hard copy, and under no circumstances whatsoever give anyone an electronic copy. Both result in no grade for the subject concerned and hence no Diploma for that session
Consequences You may lose the option of receiving the full diploma and being able to test in a subject this May if: ANY internal or external requirements were not completed on time ANY malpractice is discovered (especially after signing the declaration uon uploading) ANY disregard to the Learner Profile and the Mission of the IB. If this happens there is no refund in the costs of the exams!

(detentions will be given) Class grades do not change based on IB/AP grade received Included in determination of Diploma Anything not completed may result in a student not receiving a certificate for that subject and possibly the loss of the opportunity to receive the diploma. No refunds will be given for students failure to comply.

COVID-19 UPDATES Exams last year did not happen. All diplomas were determined largely by Internal Assessments and predicted grades through a special formula designed by IB. This year some courses have been amended and some requirements have been removed for May 2021 testing due to the nature of the course and many schools having to teach remotely. Teachers will do their best to still get you the content needed to be successful on the exams in whatever context they occur. IB is constantly updating based on worldwide changes with COVID- 19 conditions.
