Plagiarism

You are assuming the role of teacher in this exercise. A student submitted a paper in response to an assignment in your class. A second student has come to you indicating he is aware the first student plagiarized
on this assignment. You ask a few questions to get a better understanding of the accusations and you commit to investigating this charge. You will find the “submitted” paper in this week’s module of your course. Your
research shows the first highlighted area was copied from Masciarelli and the second from Frisch & Green.
How should the highlighted sections have been documented? Submit a corrected copy (using Track Changes, All Markup,
Show Markup, Balloons, Show All Revisions Inline). Did the student plagiarize? Presume you did not know the outcome going into your investigation.
What evidence would have helped you make the determination? Provide examples of evidence in your response. How would you confront this student about the plagiarism? Presume this is an online course. What
would you say to the student? As part of your response to the student, please list at least two (2) resources you would recommend to help guide him/her to an improved product.
