Question

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

Original Source Material Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--not unless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks.

Student Version Attributes of rigorous research can be shared across subjects of study. For example, Collins and Porras (2002) highlight the importance of having a control group when comparing companies in any effort to identify what specific company characteristics are able to distinguish the successful from the ordinary.

Item 2 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 Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying because it shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.

Student Version While the theory of evolution does have detractors, I find it provides a very convincing explanation of how highly complex organisms such as humans could evolve from simple atoms (Dawkins, 1989).

Item 3 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 While solitary negative reactions or unjustified suggestions for change have the potential to dissipate discourse rather than build it, the pattern analysis shows that the anonymous condition seemed to provide a safe explorative space for learners to try out more reasons for their multiple solutions. Teachers will rarely give anonymous feedback, but the experience of giving anonymous feedback may open a social space where learners can try out the reasons for their suggestions. References: Howard, C. D., Barrett, A. F., & Frick, T. W. (2010). Anonymity to promote peer feedback: Pre-service teachers' comments in asynchronous computer-mediated communication. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 43(1), 89-112.

Student Version Teachers don't often provide feedback anonymously, but the ability to provide feedback anonymously may create a context where the rationale associated with specific suggestions can be more safely explored (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). However, we cannot assume that all anonymous online spaces will serve as safe social spaces.

Item 4 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 You could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates. The key is to act. Concentrate on two or three issues at the most. If you write on twelve topics, you dissipate the effect. Keep the letter short, one page if possible, two at the most. Your lawmakers and their staffs are busy and are not likely to do more than glance at a long letter. References: Simon, P. (2003). Our culture of pandering. Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University Press.

Student Version There are many ways to participate in the electoral process. Town hall debates are often open to the public in smaller elections. These debates may provide opportunities for the public to ask questions directly. However, “you could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates” since the letter writing approach is not dependent on being able to get access to limited microphone time (Simon, 2003).

Item 5 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 In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners' peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback. References: Howard, C. D., Barrett, A. F., & Frick, T. W. (2010). Anonymity to promote peer feedback: Pre-service teachers' comments in asynchronous computer-mediated communication. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 43(1), 89-112.

Student Version increased availability of technology in my classroom makes it easier for peer feedback activities to be conducted anonymously which "may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited" (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010, p. 90). However, I worry that my students may be overly harsh if they don't have to stand by their comments. References: Howard, C. D., Barrett, A. F., & Frick, T. W. (2010).

In my view, I think the student version is not plagiarised, The student cited the source and as well as whatever is the student version that is the understanding of the student from the particular source.

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying because it shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.	While the theory of evolution does have detractors, I find it provides a very convincing explanation of how highly complex organisms such as humans could evolve from simple atoms (Dawkins, 1989).

In my view, I think this is not plagiarized and shows the citation and the student explains the theory by his own understanding.

In my view, I think the student version is not plagiarized from the original source and the student cited the source and student tries to explain his or her own understandings from the reading.

I think in my view this is also not plagiarized the student explains the passage by his or her level of understanding and cited the author.
