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 Student Version Cobbling together elements from the previous definition and whittling away the unnecessary bits leaves us with the following definitions: A game is a system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome. This definition structurally resembles that of Avedon and Sutton-Smith, but contains concepts from many of the other authors as well. References: Salen, K., & Zimmerman, E. (2004). Rules of play: Game design fundamentals. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press. Salen and Zimmerman (2004) reviewed many of the major writers on games and simulations and synthesized the following definitions: "A game is a system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome" (p. 80). They contended that some simulations are not games but that most games are some form of simulation. References: Salen, K., & Zimmerman, E. (2004). Rules of play: Game design fundamentals. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press. Which of the following is true for the Student Version above? Word-for-Word plagiarism Paraphrasing plagiarism This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

Answer:

This is not plagiarism

Explanation:

The student version clearly references the author source. Although the definition is the same, the reference is added, so it is not plagiarism. This would be plagiarism if the student did not cite the source, or if he/she paraphrased the meaning of the original excerpt. There is no need to reference authors that have been referenced in the original source.
