Question

In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button.Original Source Material:Of course, you could say that free will is an illusion anyway. If there really is a complete theory of physics that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being, and it involves a certain randomness due to quantum mechanical effects.Student Version:Like Einstein before him, Hawkings has established himself as a physics superstar. Of particular interest is his work towards a theory of everything. If physics govern everything, a comprehensive theory of physics could also make predictions about how people will act in the future. A precise calculation is, however, impossible in the case of an organism that is as complicated as a human being, and it involves a certain randomness due to quantum mechanical effects.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:

The student mentions the author when he says "Like Eistein before him, Hawkings has established..."

When yo cite or mention the author of the original text and you paraphrase what he is saying, is not plagiarism, because the reader knows where the author took the idea originally from.

In consequence, when citing the author, the student isn´t making plagiarism.
