What exactly is duplication of work?

Pre-College Topics International Baccalaureate (IB)

I’ve heard this term a couple of times, but I’m not sure what it means. People say it’s using the same what for different tasks. Is it the same as double-dipping or self plagiarism?

Also, I’ve been planning to write about historical changes of Peking Opera as an example in my TOK Essay, which I also covered as a section in my Theatre research presentation. If I use the same sources and research but adapt it for the different purposes and cite the sources correctly, would it count as duplication of work? (Also since they are parts of larger assignments).

Thanks, any answer would be appreciated! I just want to stay on the safe side.

I really dislike that term

Using the same work for 2 different courses is duplication of work, or whatever synonym you choose to use.

Another example of duplication of work is creating multiple accounts in this site. So closing.
