Unethical issue?
Honestly I used to copy and paste information from wikepedia to do my last minute homework. Also I sometimes copied friends' work. But since becoming an IB student, I haven't done these kinds of cheating. In IB it strongly says that cheating (more mature term-plagiarism) is not permitted and if it is detected, students will get sanction for that. I didn't take an issue with cheating quite seriously in the past, but I realised how unethical plagerism is. Since becoming an IB student, I apprarently felt the big difference between IGCSE and IB from much more tasks to complete like internal assessment or FOA. I put a lot of time and efforts to produce the best work as much as I can. And if someone steals or copies my whole hearted works and even gets good grade, then I would be really upset and can't help with anger. And in reality there are several cases that someone who copied others'work got a good score in even university, which is obviously unfair for studnets who did put a lot of time and efforst . During CAS, Mr.Gray suggested an idea to make an academic and I thought it is such an efficient way and good opportunity to highlight the significance of academic honesty and prevent this unethical behavior in my school.
Plan for a video
For a video, I and some of my friends made a group and planned to show several things that we are not supposed to do such as copying and pasting or changing just few words from a book. The video should be serious, but also interesting as well as if it is boring, then people will not pay attention to it too much and hence not realize the importance of academic honesty. This is the plan we made:
> Enjoyable and pleasant music- music is a significant factor which influences the mood in the video. Although academic honesty is a quite serious issue, we still want to make it interesting as we don't want people to be dozing while watching our video
> First person perspective? - This is an easy way to take scenes and complicated story is not needed. Also the message is quite straight forward.
> No voice at all? - Actually no one in my group, including me, doesn't want to be involved in narrative or talking. So we decided not to put any voices, but to convey a message only with scenes and subtitles. This might be efficient, but can be ineffective.
It is not the first attempt that we make and edit a video, so we can do better than last time. However still it is a challenging work as we still don't have good skills to make a nice and com.
