Question

Item 1 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work.

Original Source Material:
There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Student Version:
Rapid prototyping has been used successfully in software engineering and is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction. This is especially true due to the shared challenges faced by software and instructional designers (Tripp & Bichelmeyer, 1990).

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

a. Word-for-Word plagiarism
b. Paraphrasing plagiarism
c. This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

Answer: A. Word for word plagiarism.

Explanation: plagiarism simply involves using someone else's words or idea without citation to show they are not you own idea or words.

The student's version contains sentence having the same wordings as the original content and the student did not put those sentence in quotation to show it were not his or her own idea. Although the student cited the author but by not putting those sentence in quotation, it's in possible to differenciate his or her own words from the author's words, the student is simply telling us that those words are his or her own and it's not true. So this is a word for word plagiarism
