Supervisor Support
Supervisor Support
Your personal project should be your own work, but your supervisor is there to support you. You’ll meet with them at least three times, and these meetings will be recorded on the academic honesty form.
Your Supervisor’s Role
Your Supervisor’s Role
Your supervisor is responsible for making sure you understand the project requirements and assessment criteria. Here’s what they can and cannot do:
✅ They can:
Give you feedback to help improve your work.
Provide one round of formal feedback on your project report (but not detailed edits or heavy critiques).
Offer general guidance on how to approach and complete your work.
Ensure your work meets IB requirements for submission.
❌ They cannot:
Rewrite or edit your report for you.
Provide excessive feedback that influences your final project too much.
Academic Integrity & Authenticity
Academic Integrity & Authenticity
Your work must be your own. Your supervisor will explain this to both you and your parents. They will also take steps to make sure your work is authentic.
Plagiarism and collusion are serious offenses and can have consequences. If you submit work that isn’t your own, the school will follow its academic integrity policy.
You and your supervisor must understand IB academic integrity rules, including those about authenticity and intellectual property.
Once you submit your final project materials, they cannot be changed or resubmitted.
Make sure you follow these guidelines to keep your project fair, original, and IB-compliant!
