“Academic Honesty”, all by itself, these two words hold
utmost importance in the life of any truthful person. However, “Academic Honesty” is even more instrumental in
the lives of students taking higher level exams or doing extended projects. In
our case, Grade 8 is doing an extended project, our Personal Project. But what
is “Academic Honesty”? “Academic Honesty”
is the way that students can prove that the work submitted is their own through
methods like referencing, linking, using quotation marks, citing resources and
having a bibliography. Ms Geeta Verma, the IB coordinator of our school, gave
us, 8th Graders, an introduction to the guidelines, with a talk on
this subject and how we need to cite our
resources in our Personal Project. Nowadays, people who plagiarise are severely
penalised.
