original version
if learners are new to critique, we see anonymity as a scaffold to generating critical feedback. learners can practice giving feedback knowing they are not vulnerable to social repercussions. less than perfect expressions, unwarranted negative reactions, and fruitless ideas are bound to be part of novice feedback, but teachers hope to create learning configurations that support both the giver and the receiver of feedback, especially if the commenters are novices.
which of the following is true for the student version above?
(a) word-for-word plagiarism
(b) paraphrasing plagiarism
(c) this is not plagiarism
