Why Academic Honesty Matter?
Academic Honesty
Refers to a set of values, attitudes and skills that promote personal integrity in teaching, learning and assessment. Examples of academic dishonesty include plagiarism, collusion (allowing one’s work to be copied or submitted for assessment by another), taking unauthorized material into an examination room, misconduct during the examination including any attempt to disrupt the examination or distract another student.
Don't forget:
As you develop academic writing skills during your high school years, it is important that you learn to acknowledge the ideas and the words of others.
Books, journals, official publications, newspapers, online publications, licensed images, etc. are used to reinforce ideas in the personal project, you must give credit to these sources.
Referencing also demonstrates that you have done research, read relevant information and are able to provide supporting information for the decisions you make throughout the project.
Plagiarism is copying of other people’s work and thoughts without their express permission or without acknowledging of the source. Examples of plagiarism include copy and pasting from the internet or from text books. Copying works of art, whether music, film, dance, theatre arts or visual arts, also constitutes plagiarism
Collusion: this is defined as supporting malpractice by another candidate, as in allowing one’s work to be copied or submitted for assessment by another.
Duplication of work: this is defined as the presentation of the same work for different assessment components and/or diploma requirements.
Any other behaviour that gains an unfair advantage for a candidate or that affects the results of another candidate (for example, taking unauthorized material into an examination room, misconduct during an examination, falsifying a CAS record).
Intellectual Property refers to other people’s original work for example, writings, art, music, speeches, PPTs etc. Material found in text books, on the internet and in live performances is intellectual property.
Originality is the idea of developing new work as expressed in the student’s own language, expression, style etc.
Paraphrasing is the presentation of other people’s words in a new style by altering the word order in sentences or by inserting a few new words. When work is paraphrased, the source MUST be acknowledged.
Acknowledging Sources is the practice of citing the original source of information either by using a bibliography or by quoting the source as you write a report etc.
