2. In the same online programme Vanya, a fellow participant, shares that she has consulted the internet and copied the definition of a word from a dictionary website without mentioning the source of the definition. You believe this is plagiarism because she has copied content from the internet without attribution. Vanya tells you that it is okay because it is only a participant paper in an online programme and the dictionary is not considered copyrighted material. Who is right?

Even though this is a business description, it is still not your own words so you need to clearly indicate which paragraph you have pulled from the website and have the proper attribution. Otherwise it is considered plagiarism.

Not quite.

Using content from Wikipedia or blogs without proper attribution is considered plagiarism, even if the words are changed. Always cite your sources to acknowledge the original authors.

Question 5

You have been working with a group in your programme and have collaborated well on a number of projects. After collaborating with your study group on various projects, you now face an individual assignment. You’ve discussed it as a group and even have shared notes from the discussion. How should you proceed with your submission to avoid plagiarism?

Select the most appropriate option.

Correct!
 
exact_answer none 1845548 87401

You're right!

That’s correct! Submitting the same assignment as the rest of the group for an individual task misrepresents the work as solely your own, failing to distinguish between collaborative ideas and your individual contribution, thus constituting plagiarism.)

You are working with other participants in the programme and discuss an individual assignment that is quite tricky. Together you work through some potential solutions. One of the participants takes notes and shares them with the group. If you take these shared notes, add an introduction and a conclusion, and submit the entire document as your own individual assignment, would this be considered plagiarism?

exact_answer none 1845549 43214

You're right!

Because you worked together, you must:

(a) write up your full response in your own words, and

(b) identify the other group members who contributed to the discussion. Otherwise, this would be considered plagiarism.
