2. A student cannot pass another person’s work off as their own, even if the work has been gifted to the student. 3. In assessment work, such as the Extended Essay, students are expected to work independently with the support of their supervisor. Even though a student may be part of a group where they collaborate, the final document must be their own. Collusion 1. Collusion is supporting malpractice by another candidate; for example, allowing one’s work to be copied or submitted for assessment by another candidate. 2. Students need to be reminded that working together is collaboration, but they must maintain their own work and know the difference between collusion and collaboration. It is important that each subject teacher stresses the difference to ensure that students are clear. Copying

Knowingly allowing work to be copied by another student is collusion. This includes, but is not limited to, essays, assignments, tests, lab reports and computer programmes. Falsifying Falsifying is making up data or information or incorrectly entering information, such as CAS records. Especially where CAS is concerned, honesty is to be fostered, as is the importance of involvement and giving. Duplication Duplication is submitting the same or very similar assignments for more than one course. A student cannot present the same piece of work for different assessment components. They cannot submit a piece of coursework in a subject and then use the same material for their Extended Essay. Careful monitoring by teachers is essential. Authenticity In order for authenticity to be guaranteed, teachers will test and check whether the work presented by a student is genuinely their own. Any other behaviour that gains an unfair advantage or affects the results of any candidate is malpractice. For all cases of malpractice, the IBDP Coordinator or CIE Examination Officer must conduct a thorough investigation and keep detailed notation. Action taken where a breach of these guidelines appears to have occurred; Internally Assessed Assignments/Projects 1. Before handing assignments back to the class the suspected breach needs to be investigated fully by the IBDP Coordinator or CIE Examination Officer who will seek pertinent details from the subject teacher in the first instance.
