Question

Original Source Material:

APT was compared with numerous extant methodologies, including the linear models approach and event history analysis. The fundamental difference between APT and these other approaches is that no particular mathematical model is assumed in APT. In APT a model is viewed simply as a temporal pattern, whereas in most other approaches parameters of a mathematical model are estimated from data in which variables are measured separately. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration.

Student Version:
In this study, Frick (1990) clarified the distinction between statistical linear models and Analysis of Patterns in Time (APT). Compared to the linear models approach (which includes particular mathematical models), APT is a straightforward way to create temporal maps and analyze them for recurring patterns of events. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration of those events.References:Frick, T. (1990).

Question:
1. Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?A. Word-for-Word plagiarismB. Paraphrasing plagiarismC. This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

C. This is not plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

Student version does not qualify as plagiarism for several reasons:

• The student does state the name of the original author in a way that partly corresponds to the Harvard Referencing System for periodicals. Meanwhile, the student also should have indicated the pages on which authors states the given ideas.
• The student is using paraphrasing techniques to restate the ideas of the author, thus they are not required to be taken into quotation marks. Though, the student’s text would have had more value, if he or she also has added his own thoughts about this research and how it applies to the particular object student is exploring.
