In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. determine the type of plagiarism.
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.
original version
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.
which of the following is true for the student version above?
(a) word-for-word plagiarism
(b) paraphrasing plagiarism
(c) this is not plagiarism
