It is very important that your work is your own. This includes the piece of music that you use. Creating a piece of music from loops is not your own piece of music it is an arrangement of other peoples work. You cannot take credit for it.. You did not write it, play it or record it. Any samples must be acknowledged.
If you do use someone else's work, you will marked as a zero and fail to get your certificate. Below is the school's policy on academic honesty. Academic Honesty ISS Students are expected to be principled, therefore, know inherently that they must live up to the spirit of our ISS Academic Honesty Code. Honor and integrity are qualities that all students should value and model as fundamental tenets of a healthy learning community. Accordingly, our students are expected to demonstrate personal respect for the Academic Honesty Code and to help all members of the ISS community uphold its principles. All students will submit work that is their own. Students may receive assistance on homework or in class assignments as per teacher-specified guidelines (see below for the distinction between collusion and collaboration). Recognizing the cultural differences with our community, the ISS curriculum strives to educate students on the values of the Academic Honesty Code, and teach them how to abide by it. In teaching students about academic honesty we are preparing them for the demands of the IB programmes (MYP and DP), as well as university and life. The IB states explicitly: “Schools are reminded that all work submitted to the IB for moderation or assessment must be authenticated by a teacher, and must not include any instances of suspected or confirmed malpractice. Issues of authenticity, if identified before the submission of work for assessment or moderation, must be resolved within the school without exception.” There are occasions when collaboration between candidates is permitted or even actively encouraged. Nevertheless, the final work must be produced independently, despite the fact that it may be based on similar data. This means that the abstract, introduction, content and conclusion or summary of a piece of work must be written in each candidate's own words and cannot therefore be the same as another candidate's. If, for example, two or more candidates have exactly the same introduction to an assignment, the [IB] will construe this as collusion, and not collaboration. It is essential that both teachers and candidates are aware of the distinction between collaboration and collusion. The following shall be considered violations of the Academic Honesty Code and will result in disciplinary action: • Plagiarizing (copying) work from others on any type of assignment • Presenting source material without giving the reference • Copying during a test, quiz or exam or using any unauthorized reference or receiving unauthorized assistance • Giving/receiving information during a test / examination ISS Students strive to be Balanced Caring Communicators Inquirers Knowledgeable Open-Minded Principled Reflective Risk-Takers Thinkers • Obtaining/distributing test information illicitly or otherwise trying to gain an unfair advantage in examinations or course work assignments Students who are giving/aiding/receiving or assisting in violations of academic honesty will be considered to have violated the policy. Consequences will follow prevailing school policy. As a guideline: ISS uses the Internet based services of www.turnitin.com as a plagiarism prevention and detection tool. Please refer directly to the website for more information on this service. Students are required to submit soft copies of their work (homework, major assignments, Extended Essays etc). Teachers will use an electronic copy with Turnitin. They will also look at the draft work/homework, and compare it with class work to check for consistency in writing style, i.e, ‘is this the student’s usual voice?’ It is the student’s responsibility to keep draft work, copies of sources, and a reference list (bibliography) to demonstrate that his/her work is authentic.
