Plagiarism Pattern: Deceptive Dupe

Definition

A deceptive dupe is a word-for-word plagiarist who takes text from another author, omits quotation marks to identify what has been taken and omits the full in-text citation, while including the reference.

For a Certification Test item that is similar to this pattern, the correct answer is:

  •  
  • Word-for-word plagiarism
      Paraphrasing plagiarism
      Not plagiarism
    Explanation: Correct Version: Not plagiarized

    The student version is word-for-word plagiarism because seven or more words are copied from the source, and quotation marks are missing. The full in-text citation with the author, date, and locator is missing, but the full bibliographic reference is included.

    Merrill (2002) claims that "learning is promoted when learners are engaged in solving real-world problems, ... existing knowledge is activated as a foundation for new knowledge, ... new knowledge is demonstrated to the learner, ... new knowledge is applied by the learner, and ... when new knowledge is integrated into the learner’s world" (p. 43).
