Let u er alstublieft op dat alle schriftelijke onderdelen in onze meivakantie vallen – dit komt

Organisation mogelijk is om onderdelen van het examen in te halen of te herkansen. Dit kan
dan pas bij de volgende IB-examenronde in november 2015 en er zijn extra kosten aan

verbonden. Het is daarom van het grootste belang voor onze leerlingen om gezond en
punctueel aanwezig te zijn op bovenstaande data. Daarnaast verwachten wij dat onze
leerlingen vertrouwd zijn met de bijgevoegde IB-richtlijnen voor Academic honesty en er naar
handelen.
Van IB-kandidaten die op 4 mei 2015 ook aan de Decentrale Selectie voor geneeskunde van de
Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen willen deelnemen, ontvangt onze IB-coördinator mevrouw
Heidrun Basset (h.basset@kandinsky.nl) graag vóór 31 januari 2015 een bevestiging van hun
definitieve inschrijving. Samen met de Universiteit en de IB-organisatie zijn wij bezig om een
oplossing te vinden voor deze leerlingen. Zodra er duidelijkheid is, zullen wij contact
opnemen met de betreffende leerlingen.
Wij hopen u hiermee voorlopig voldoende geïnformeerd te hebben. Voor verdere vragen zijn
we uiteraard altijd beschikbaar.
Met vriendelijke groet,

Bijlage: Academic honesty in the Diploma Programme
As the legal guardian of a Diploma
Programme student, how can I support
my son or daughter?
• Encourage your son or daughter to plan each assignment.
• Provide support with the scheduling of their work, as your
son or daughter may have many assignments to complete.
• Let your son or daughter do his or her own work, but show
them how to research and plan their work.
• Establish a good level of communication with the school
so that you understand the requirements of the Diploma
Programme and what is expected of students.
• If your son or daughter is having difficulty with their work,
encourage him or her to ask a teacher for advice.
What is academic honesty?
Academic honesty in the International Baccalaureate (IB) is a
principle informed by the attributes of the IB learner profile. In
teaching, learning and assessment, academic honesty serves to
promote personal integrity and engender respect for others and
the integrity of their work. Upholding academic honesty also
helps to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to
demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquire during their
studies.
Academic honesty is an essential principle of the IB’s academic
programmes that enhances the organization’s credibility and
position as a leader in international education. As stated in the
IB learner profile, all members of the IB community strive to be
“principled”, acting with “integrity and honesty, with a strong
sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the
individual, groups and communities”. In all their studies for the
Diploma Programme, students must demonstrate academic
honesty and avoid any form of academic misconduct.

Why cite?
What is academic misconduct?
Proper citation is a key element to academic scholarship and
intellectual exchange. When you cite, you:
Academic misconduct is a behaviour that results in, or may
result in, the student or any other student gaining an unfair
advantage (or a behaviour that disadvantages other students)
in one or more assessment components. Unfortunately in every
Diploma Programme examination session there are students
who are investigated for alleged “academic misconduct”.
• show respect for the work of others
• give the reader the opportunity to follow up your references
• help the reader distinguish your work from the work of others
Of all cases investigated during examination session (on
average):
• give the reader the opportunity to check the validity of your
interpretation
• 52% concern plagiarism
• receive proper credit for your research process
• 25% concern collusion
• demonstrate that you are able to use reliable sources and
critically assess them to support your work
• 12% concern misconduct during an examination
• 11% concern other forms of academic misconduct, such as
the duplication of work.
Plagiarism is defined as the representation, intentionally or
unwittingly, of the ideas, words or work of another person
without proper, clear and explicit acknowledgment. The use of
translated materials, unless indicated and acknowledged, is also
considered plagiarism.
Good practice—recommendations
for students
• establish credibility and authority of your own knowledge and
ideas
• Ensure that all sources you have consulted are acknowledged
in your work using the referencing style agreed with your
teacher.
• demonstrate that you are able to draw your own conclusions.
Plagiarism misrepresents the work of another person as your own.
• Make sure that information you have used is acknowledged
in the body of the text and is fully listed in the bibliography.
Essentials!
Collusion is defined as supporting academic misconduct by
another student, for example allowing one’s work to be copied
or submitted for assessment by another.
• Use quotation marks or indentation to show all text that is
someone else’s exact words and do not forget to show whose
words they are.
Examples of misconduct during an IB examination include:
taking unauthorized material into an examination (whether the
student uses it or not), behaviour that disrupts the examination
or may distract other students and communicating with another
student during the examination.
• Cite your sources so that readers can find them; if you cannot
state the origin of the source it is probably better not to use it.
• Give credit for copied, adapted and paraphrased material.
The IB has no means of knowing whether an act of academic
misconduct was deliberate or not. The IB expects students
to know what is and is not acceptable behaviour in the
examination room, and expects students to know how to
indicate and cite material originally developed by others. For
these reasons, a student’s intent cannot be taken into account
when investigating an alleged breach of the General regulations:
Diploma Programme.
• You must cite the source of images, maps, charts, tables, data sets,
musical compositions, movies, computer source codes and song
lyrics—any material that is not your own.
Duplication of work is defined as the presentation of the same
work for different assessment components and/or Diploma
Programme requirements.
• Make clear which words, ideas, images and works are not your
own.
• If you paraphrase an idea—that is if you restate it, but alter the exact
wording—you must still cite that source.
• Make clear where the borrowed material starts and finishes;
this can be done by using quotation marks, using an “opening”
indication and a closing page number.
• All sources cited in the text must also be listed in the
bibliography (or reference list/list of works cited) and all sources
listed in the bibliography (or reference list/list of works cited)
must be cited in the text.
