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:
Learning from demonstrations is enhanced when learners actively engage in interaction with one another rather than passively observing the demonstration. When learners are required to find a new portrayal of the information that has been presented, they are required to process the information at a deeper level in order to identify and demonstrate this new portrayal. When they are required todemonstrate their new portrayals to one another, this provides additional portrayals of the information being taught, thus increasing the richness of the instruction.

Student Version:
In order to make instruction more effective, learners should be required to find additional portrayals of the information which have been presented by the instructor. Learners are expected to then demonstrate their portrayals to one another. Learning from demonstrations is enhanced when learners actively engage in interaction with one another rather than passively observing the demonstration.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?
Word-for-Word plagiarism
Paraphrasing plagiarism
This is not plagiarism
Answer:
Word-for-Word plagiarism
Explanation:
We notice from the above that the student quoted the original source word-for-word where he writes" "Learning from demonstrations is enhanced when learners actively engage in interaction with one another rather than passively observing the demonstration" and also "demonstrate their new portrayals to one another". This is word-for-word plagiarism as the student does not reference the author of the original work here instead he goes ahead to copy the author's references too.
