Question 19

0.5 / 0.5 pts

Please read the original source material carefully and then select the entry, either "A" or "B," that has not been plagiarized. Original Source Material: Interactive multimedia instruction brings mediated instruction from more than one source to bear on an instructional problem that the learner experiences as integrated. We can think of it in terms of many single inputs, with one multi-channel output. The instruction may contain motion images from a video disc, computer animation, text screens, and sound from a compact disc, for example, but the instruction is a tapestry woven from these sources. The learner experiences the tapestry, not the individual threads. Source: Schwier, R., & Misanchuk, E. (1993). Interactive multimedia instruction. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Educational Technology Publications.

Correct!

 Designers had realized by the mid-1990s that the various forms of media, previously viewed as separate, twined together in multimedia instruction to form an integrated experience for learners (Schwier & Misanchuk, 1993). References: Schwier, R., & Misanchuk, E. (1993). Interactive multimedia instruction. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Educational Technology Publications.

"B" is the correct answer. This example has been paraphrased and is not considered plagiarized. The student has cited the original author and included an appropriate entry in the reference list.

Question 20

0.5 / 0.5 pts

Please read the original source material carefully and then select the entry, either "A" or "B," that has not been plagiarized.

Lesson 1 Assessment: COMM 160 FA2016 Merged Course

Original Source Material: By instruction I mean any deliberate arrangement of events to facilitate a learner's acquisition of some goal. The goal can range from knowledge to skills to strategies to attitudes, and so on. The learners can be adults or children of any age, background, or prior experience. The setting in which learning takes place can be formal, school-based, on-the-job, or in the community - wherever programs for learning are being designed and implemented. Source: Driscoll, M. P. (2000). Psychology of learning for instruction (2nd ed.). Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon.

Correct!

 Driscoll (2000) defines instruction broadly as "any deliberate arrangement of events to facilitate a learner's acquisition of some goal" (p. 25). She includes learning knowledge, skills, strategies and attitudes in a partial list of possible goals for learning. References: Driscoll, M. P. (2000). Psychology of learning for instruction (2nd ed.). Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon.

"B" is the correct answer. Quotation marks have been used properly for a word-for-word citation from the original author's work, and the student has credited the author correctly.

Question 21

0.5 / 0.5 pts

Please read the original source material carefully and then select the entry, either "A" or "B," that has not been plagiarized. Original Source Material: While computers are very good at certain tasks, such as diagnosing equipment malfunctions or performing mathematical functions, they are morons at doing things your dog or cat can do, such as recognizing you and acknowledging your presence. Computers lack qualitative intelligence, that is, the ability to identify those features that make each of us unique and different. Source: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation.

Correct!

Lesson 1 Assessment: COMM 160 FA2016 Merged Course

 Computers can do some things and not others. Frick (1991) explains that "While computers are very good at certain tasks, such as diagnosing equipment malfunctions or performing mathematical functions .... [they] lack qualitative intelligence, that is, the ability to identify those features that make each of us unique and different" (p. 30). References: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation.

"B"is the correct answer because the student used quotation marks properly, and cited author in the text.

Question 22

0.5 / 0.5 pts

You are asked to summarize the plot of a chapter from Madame Bovary. You copy the chapter description from the online Spark Notes Web site and don't cite your source. Is this plagiarism?

 Yes

This is clearly plagiarism. You did not write the chapter summary, nor did you cite your source.

Question 23

0.5 / 0.5 pts

You take a sentence from a professional journal and reorder the phrases, keeping the meaning and most phrases intact. You do not cite your source. Is this plagiarism?

Correct!

 Yes

11/18

2016/10/15

Lesson 1 Assessment: COMM 160 FA2016 Merged Course

This is plagiarism. Simply reordering the phrases does not make the work original. You must either quote and indent the passage as written and cite the source or put the ideas into your own words, with your own phrasing, and cite the source.

Question 24

0.5 / 0.5 pts

You have been asked to write a paper on Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. You copy several sentences from a variety of textbooks and reorder them into a new paragraph. You put the copied text in quotes and create a footnote or citation for each sentence. Is this plagiarism?

Correct!

 No

Because you have placed quotes around the copied text and cited each sentence, you are not plagiarizing the work, however, this is still not a good method to use when writing a paper.

Question 25

0.5 / 0.5 pts

You find a paper online that answers your assignment instructions exactly and submit it as your work. Is this plagiarism?

Correct!

 Yes

This is plagiarism. You did none of the work and are telling your instructor that you wrote this paper. This is theft of someone else's work.

Question 26

Lesson 1 Assessment: COMM 160 FA2016 Merged Course

You and a friend decide to work together on a lab assignment. Because you are in two different sections of the same course, you print out two copies of the completed report, and each submit it as your own individual work. Is this plagiarism?

Correct!

 Yes

This is plagiarism: You are each expected to submit a report which you wrote on your own unless explicitly given permission to do otherwise by your instructor.

Question 27

0.5 / 0.5 pts

Your roommate took the same math course last year that you are taking now. To save yourself some time, you copy your roommate's old homework assignments and turn them in as your own. Is this cheating?

Correct!

 Yes

Copying someone else's work and leading others to believe it is your original work is plagiarism. In the case of copying homework assignments, it is also considered cheating.

Question 28

0.5 / 0.5 pts

You copy another author's ideas to compare and contrast with your own ideas. You indent the text, identify the author, and use quotation marks when stating the author's ideas. You also provide a citation of the work you copied in the bibliography of your paper. Is this plagiarism?

Correct!

 No
