• Academic honesty: Academic honesty must be seen as a set of values and skills that promote personal integrity and good practice in teaching, learning and assessment.

• Malpractice: The IBO defines malpractice as behavior that results in, or may result in, the candidate or any other candidate gaining an unfair advantage in one or more assessment component. Malpractice includes:

• Plagiarism: this is defined as the representation of the ideas or work of another person as the candidate’s own

• 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 behavior: 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).

GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY
