crappingmyself Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 So I've handed in my final EE and I've noticed that I have accidentally plagiarised about 50 words straight out of a website. I'm wondering if I'm about to fail my IB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_taking_over Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 If they catch the plagiarism, you will receive no points for the EE (no diploma) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moma Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 This may easily happen... so for the future, run important assignment through 2 or 3 different "plagiarism checker" to check if there is any plagiarism. Usually they should only highlight your quotes in the assignment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 You should talk to your school about this issue and ask to resubmit. Teachers have to certify that there is no plagiarism in the paper so it's not like they won't let your resubmit just those 50 words or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, you should have a talk with your teacher and see if you can change those 50 words or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
