Plagiarism in hsc exams? (1 Viewer)

[mac1996]

Hey guys
I ask this question to myself pretty often, whether or not plagiarism is taken very seriously in relation to short answer questions in the hsc?
Let me know what you guys think.

thanks

Any form will get you a zero.

plagiarising is taken very seriously, possibly a 0 awarded.
but memorising a definition isn't plagiarising?

It's still plagiarism - to avoid it, just site the source (According to the Oxford Dictionary, destroy means...).

 

[Macqncheese]

tbh, it is harder to plagiarize.

Think about it, answering things from the top of your head would provide a better answer, and would be easier to write/form.

What?! So you're saying you can't recite a definition word for word from a hsc textbook?

Depends on the value of the question and the decretion of the marker.

 

[Capt Rifle]

I don't think its plagiarism... I mean it is a definition.

However if it is a subjective question, and you write what others have answered... then yeah.

It is still plagiarism. You're taking someone work word for word and passing it off as your own without acknowledging the source.

That said, I highly doubt your going to get in trouble for textbook definitions though.

As long as you use quotation marks and tell where you got the source from, you will be fine.
Plus definitions in general should be fine if it's gotten from a textbook, just modify it a tiny bit.
