Is this plagiarising? (1 Viewer)

[xNinjax]

Someone told me that it is NOT plagiarizing if you can memorize an essay (that is not your own work) and write it in exam conditions. Is this true (especially for ENGLISH) ?

If it's someone else's work, then how can it be anything but plagiarising? o_o

If you're memorising it, as in reproducing it word for word, then yes, that is plagiarism.

If it's not your work then its plagiarism. Straight up. Didn't you do the grueling 'All my own work' course at the beginning of hsc?

of course it is plaigarism.. it's not your own work.

@showy - even if it's not plagirism, it could still be plagirism.

Its plagiarism but quite a few people do it sadly..

I get what you mean.. memorising essays (to write in exam) is supposed to prevent plagiarism, but it's still regarded as plagiarism.. as it is not your work

I wouldn't recommend doing this at all.

Never plagiaries, a few years ago a ESL student at my school remembered a short story and was caught. They were N Awarded or something, and did nto end up getting their HSC(international Student)

Definitely plagiarism. You can get expelled for this if you get caught in uni.

Okay, lets say for English i use the exact same techniques and effects (includes same related text) but i change slightly , is this still plagiarising ?

One of my friends copied the same techniques and structure of my essay cause it was "all sweet", that he "changed pretty much most of it".

We both almost ended up getting 0's luckily he admitted he used my essay and was deducted a few marks while my mark remained.

Do your own work.

100% plagiarism.

Whoever told you probably wants you to fail.

Don't rely on stupid people =)

Yeah fair enough, I see what you mean.

Has your principal signed off to say that you have?

If not you will have to do it to be eligible for the HSC.

As for the question about plagiarism - the English people are the ones most likely to pick it in the HSC and every year some students get sprung and get zero marks for an essay or even for the entire paper.

It isn't worth jeopardising the HSC for something like this.

Yes, because they are not your own ideas being represented.

Hold on... what happens if it was for another subjects... particularly a ROTE learning type subject... and you answer it using someone else's idea word for word... (eg. directly from a textbook)?

I don't think it's a major issue with subjects such as the sciences, as you're meant to display your understanding of concepts, etc, rather than individually analysing texts

 

[heteroskedastic]

Yes. Yes it is.
