Question

In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of

student work. Determine the type of plagiarism.

Original Source Material:
Because computer systems exhibit performative intelligence, we can teach them to do tasks. It is this very capability that makes it possible to use computers as an interactive medium for instruction and learning. It is interaction which sets computers systems apart from other media such as books, television, and film. However, present-day computers literally do not understand the culturally bound meanings of the messages which they manipulate during these interactions because such computers lack qualitative intelligence.

Student Version:
According to Frick (1997), computer systems demonstrate performative intelligence, when compared to other media such as books, television, and film. Computers can be programmed to do things. This feature of computer systems makes them an alternative medium for instruction and learning. However, he claims that computer systems lack the ability to understand the meaning of messages they send and receive during interaction with students and teachers.

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

This is not plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

The student version is:

○ Word-for-word plagiarism:❌

This occurs when a student lends ideas in the original source material, and makes use of seven or more words in a sentence,does not have quotation marks encompassing the words obtained and bibliographic reference.

○ Paraphrasing plagiarism:❌

This is done when a student lends ideas in the original source material,can't be grouped as word-for-word plagiarism, and does not have an in-text citation comprising of the writer name(s) and date and bibliographic reference.

○ Not plagiarism:✔✔✔

It's considered Not plagiarized when where is absence of word-for-word plagiarism, doesn't involve paraphrasing plagiarism, without any kind of plagiarism involving using illustrative material and not citing the source (such as in photos, drawings, diagrams, etc.).

The student version won't be noted as plagiarism since it gives the reference to Frick (1997) and also genuinely uses the basic ideas in the original version without literal paraphrasing and word-for-word repetition. Despite the fact that some words in the student version might appear paraphrased, they are mostly important information which as to be used the way it was or without mentioning since it is an understandable example and arguments. The student version looks more of a simplified and well understandable version of the original source material with a reference duly carried out.
