Q

This form of plagiarism involves collaborating with others on an assignment but submitting the work as if it were your own individual effort. Collusion is often considered unethical in an academic setting.

A

Collusion

31
Q

Failing to properly cite or attribute sources, or incorrectly citing sources, can also constitute plagiarism. It’s important to follow the appropriate citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) and provide full and accurate references.

A

Incomplete Citation or Misattribution

32
Q

In this form of plagiarism, an individual invents or falsifies sources or data to support their claims, which is not only unethical but also fraudulent.

A

Source Fabrication

33
Q

Plagiarism is not limited to words; it can also involve stealing someone else’s ideas or concepts without giving them credit. Even if you rephrase the text, if you use someone else’s unique ideas or insights without citation, it is considered plagiarism.

A

Idea Plagiarism

34
Q

References within the main body of the texts, specifically in Review of Related Literature.
APA style is use (American Psychological Association)

A

Citation or In-text Citation

35
Q

This is one way of citing or referring to the author whose ideas appear in your work.

A

Integral Citation

36
Q

This citation style downplays any strength of the writer’s personal characteristics. The stress is given to the piece of information rather than to the owner of the ideas.

A

Non-Integral Citation

37
Q

It is a shortened version of the original text that is expressed in your own language. Making the text short, you have to pick out only the most important ideas or aspects of the text.

A

Summary

38
Q

Instead of shortening the form of the text, explain what the text means to you using your own words. In doing so, it is possible that your explanations may decrease or exceed the number of words of the original text.

A

Paraphrase

39
Q

Only a part of the author’s sentence, the whole sentence, or several sentences, not exceeding 40 words, is what you can quote or repeat in writing through this citation pattern. Since this makes you copy the exact words of the writer, it is necessary that you give the number of the page where the readers can find the copied words.

A

Short Direct Quotation

40
Q

This citation pattern makes you copy the author’s exact words numbering from 40 up to 100 words. Under APA, the limit is eight lines. Placed at the center of the page with no indentation, the copied lines look like they compose a stanza of a poem.

A

Long Direct Quotation or Block Quotation, or Extract.

41
Q

Active verbs are effective words to use in reporting author’s ideas.
Presenting their ideas in any of these tenses: present, simple past, or present perfect tense.
The APA system, however, prefers the use of present perfect tense.

A

Tense of verbs for reporting

64
Q

These types of questions do not have predetermined options or answers.
* Open -ended questions often need probing or follow -up questions to clarify certain items in the subject’s response.
* Typically ask the “how and “why” of something.
