A student's career-related study is in culinary arts. Which Reflective Project topic would be MOST appropriately linked to that field?
Answer: The ethics of factory farming and its impact on the food industry
Factory farming raises genuine ethical tensions around animal welfare, sustainability, and industry practice directly relevant to culinary arts professionals.
What is the primary role of the supervisor in the Reflective Project process?
Answer: To provide guidance, feedback, and authenticate the student's work
Supervisors guide students through the process and authenticate that the work is genuinely the student's own, but do not write or choose topics for them.
Which philosophical framework would a student use if they argued that the ethical rightness of an action depends entirely on its consequences?
Answer: Consequentialism
Consequentialism, including utilitarianism, evaluates the morality of actions based on their outcomes or consequences.
A student argues in their Reflective Project that a practice is wrong because it violates a professional duty, regardless of outcomes. Which ethical lens is this?
Answer: Deontology
Deontological ethics focuses on duties, rules, and obligations rather than consequences as the basis for moral judgment.
What does 'academic honesty' require of a student when they paraphrase a source in the Reflective Project?
Answer: A citation is required because the idea originated with someone else
IB academic integrity standards require citation whenever a student uses another person's ideas, whether quoted or paraphrased.
Which of the following BEST describes a strong thesis statement for a Reflective Project?
Answer: A clear, arguable claim that takes a position on the ethical issue
A strong thesis makes a specific, defensible claim that the rest of the project will support with evidence and reasoning.
During the Reflective Project, a student discovers that their initial position on the ethical issue was oversimplified. What should they do?
Answer: Revise their analysis to incorporate the more nuanced understanding
Revising one's position in response to new evidence demonstrates intellectual honesty and the kind of growth the Reflective Project is designed to foster.
