Malpractice
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.
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
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 on the coversheet)
•
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!
Grades
IB subject grades
are
determined by IB and are
based on:
•
Internal Assessment
(teacher
moderated)
•
External Assessment
(IB
examiner graded)
•
1-7 point scale
TOK
CAS
Extended Essay
Class grades
•
Based on Teacher grading
guidelines and may be
different than AP or IB grades
•
Include all required student
work and exams and
on time
completion of required IB
internal assessments
.
(detentions will be
given)
