Question

Original Source Material
APT was compared with numerous extant methodologies, including the linear models approach and event history analysis. The fundamental difference between APT and these other approaches is that no particular mathematical model is assumed in APT. In APT a model is viewed simply as a temporal pattern, whereas in most other approaches parameters of a mathematical model are estimated from data in which variables are measured separately. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration.

Student Version
In this study, Frick (1990) clarified the distinction between statistical linear models and Analysis of Patterns in Time (APT). Compared to the linear models approach (which includes particular mathematical models), APT is a straightforward way to create temporal maps and analyze them for recurring patterns of events. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration of those events.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

a. Word-for-Word plagiarism
b. Paraphrasing plagiarism
c. This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

Answer:

It is true that the student version of the text is an example of 'paraphrasing plagiarism'.

Explanation:

• In order to avoid the text to be recognized as plagiarized, many opt to make the text sound and look different with the support of paraphrasing plagiarism.
• In this type of writing, the words are changed simply by making use of suitable synonyms and phrases with similar meanings to the ones used in the original text.
• The words are changed but the collective meaning of the text remains exactly the same as that of the original text.
