IB CP Core: Reflective Project 5

Question 1

A student completes their Reflective Project but does not submit the required Reflective Statement alongside it. What is the likely consequence?

Accepted Answer

The student may lose marks on the reflection criterion

Answer

The reflective component is assessed under Criterion D, so omitting it directly reduces the marks available in that criterion.

Question 2

Which scenario BEST demonstrates that a student has successfully connected their Reflective Project to the IB CP service learning experience?

Accepted Answer

The student reflects on how service learning challenged their assumptions about the ethical issue

Answer

Genuine integration means the service learning experience actively informed the student's ethical thinking, not just appearing as a passing mention.

Question 3

Which of the following would constitute academic misconduct in the Reflective Project?

Accepted Answer

Submitting a project that someone else wrote on the student's behalf

Answer

Submitting work produced by another person as one's own is a clear violation of IB academic integrity policy.

Question 4

What does virtue ethics emphasize when analyzing an ethical issue in the Reflective Project?

Accepted Answer

The character traits and moral virtues of the people involved

Answer

Virtue ethics, associated with Aristotle, focuses on the character and virtues of moral agents rather than rules or outcomes.

A student's Reflective Project concludes by recommending a policy change in their career field. Which criterion does a well-reasoned recommendation most directly strengthen?

Accepted Answer

Criterion C: Risk-taking and creativity
