Academic Honesty requirements for Diploma Programme & across all of IB Programmes

Academic Honesty Guide (You will need to be able to access the OCC to open this document)
from page 7

3.2 The head of school, or his or her nominee, must ensure that all candidates: receive guidance on study skills, academic writing, how to conduct research and how to acknowledge sources.
It is also the responsibility of the head of school to establish a school policy that promotes good academic practice and a school culture that actively encourages academic honesty.

4.3 The need to acknowledge the source of data, works of art, computer programmes, photographs, diagrams, illustrations, maps, etc must also be made clear to candidates by their subject teachers.

4.5 A school policy on academic honesty should at least include: …… examples of conventions for citing and acknowledging original authorship

4.12 Teachers (including extended essay supervisors) must provide candidates with a convention for acknowledging all sources. To ensure there is an organized and consistent approach across subjects,
this may be done by or in consultation with the coordinator.

4.13 Teachers are advised to provide candidates with examples of how to acknowledge sources.

4.15 Students might also be encouraged to use an online citation generator as an aid in achieving full and consistent documentation of sources used.

4.17 because paraphrasing uses the ideas of another person, it is still necessary to acknowledge the source. Candidates must be taught this skill; they cannot be expected to understand the difference
between legitimate and illegitimate paraphrasing without receiving guidance.

4. 20 When marking regular class and homework assignments that are not being submitted to the IB for assessment, teachers should take into account each candidate’s use and acknowledgment of sources. A portion of the marks awarded
could be available for assessing the degree to which a candidate has correctly acknowledged all sources. Reinforcing good academic practice in this and other ways must routinely extend to all subjects and requirements within the Diploma
Programme hexagon.
