Academic Honesty Definition Academic honesty refers to the process and the means by which a student produces an original piece of work that acknowledges the thoughts and contributions of others. Rationale We believe that instruction in academic honesty is a fundamental part of each student’s education. In line with our College Values, we encourage all students to act in a responsible, ethical and honest manner towards intellectual property and authentic authorship. This includes all written work produced by students, essays, scientific research and reports, computer programmes, music, visual arts, film, dance, theatre arts, and photographs. The original authors of these materials have the right to identify such work as their own intellectual property, and we respect this right. It is expected that each part of the College will create their own specific procedures and practices to put both the aims and objectives of this policy and the spirit of academic honesty into effect. As students progress through the College, they should learn about intellectual property and how it is covered by copyright. The school will follow UK copyright law, particularly with regard to photocopying practices, audiovisual materials, production scripts and scores, and computer programmes. Responsibilities of Teachers • Modeling good practice. All articles or quotes from newspapers, journals, books and websites should be referenced before being presented or put on display. • Educating students about the importance of academic honesty. Teachers will take into account that students are still learning to understand what academic honesty means. • Teaching older students how to cite (reference) sources correctly • Dealing with academic dishonesty when it arises • Clarifying to students whether collaboration on a task is allowed • Publishing classroom guidelines on academic honesty. Responsibilities of Parents • Encouraging their children to try to do their homework on their own and write in their own words • Stating clearly in writing when help has been given on the work itself • Informing the school if academic dishonesty is suspected. Responsibilities of Students • Trying to produce their work on their own. If any help is given, it should be acknowledged in writing. • Knowing how to cite (reference) sources and how to create a bibliography • Asking their teacher or the respective librarian for help. Examples of academic dishonesty include: • Copying all or part of another students work • Arranging to have the work completed by someone else • Cheating in tests, by referring to prohibited materials during testing, or gaining knowledge of the test unofficially before hand • Copying homework. 25
preparing for the world Sanctions Any student found committing an act of malpractice within a College-based assessment will receive a zero for that assessment and appropriate sanctions will be applied. Within the Diploma Programme, for Internal Assessments and Extended Essays the student will be allowed one opportunity to revise and resubmit the work. If the candidate goes on to commit a further act of malpractice in any other element of IB Diploma programme Internal Assessment, this would constitute a knowing breach of IBO regulations and the school has to then follow reporting procedures with the IBO, which may well result in the candidate forfeiting that Internal Assessment and, possibly, the award of their Diploma. The consequences of academic dishonesty may include: • A change of grade on an official document • A parent conference • The student being placed on an internal suspension. Further repeated offences may result in suspension and ultimately expulsion from the College. 26
