Question on plagiarism accusation time frame

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am an IBY1 student, but my gf just finished IBY2 today (finished with the french exam I think). She has had a problem for quite some time, which was that she forgot to reference 1 sentence she used on her EE (and she copied it word by word). It wasnt too big of a sentence, but she forgot to reference it nonetheless. She was told by our IB coordinator that if the IB is to accuse her of plagiarism, they will do so during her exams in May. Seeing how the exams are officially over in all around the world, and she has not been accused yet, does that mean that she is on the clear? Or is there a chance that she may yet get accused?

Thank you all very much in advance

Hi Nickolakhs,

Your gf would likely hear from the IB by the end of exams, but that is no guarantee, I am sorry to say.  I would ask her to be patient and wait a few more weeks. Sometimes the process drags on due to backlogs, etc. 

Hopefully a single sentence doesn't do her in!

Best,

Rob
