eTMA1 Question 1 Read the extract in Box1 and explain it in your own words. The word plagiarism originates from the latin word “plagiarius” meaning “kidnapper”. This describes the basic principles of a plagiarist, someone that “kidnaps” work which is not their own. Whether a person is not entirely assured with their academic ability or they may display an inadequate knowledge of what is required in there chosen level of study, these could be the reasons that lead them to replicate another persons work. This can be identified as plagiarism. There are several interpretations of what constitutes as plagiarism. This can be copying another persons work in its entirety, by getting another person to complete work for them and by altering certain parts of someone else’s work with the intention of passing this off as their own. There are numerous degrees of severity to plagiarism, starting with plagiarism, intentional plagiarism, plagiarism with intentional fraud. An example of this is if a student, who is not confident in their abilities, is set an assignment and they search the internet for information. They come across a completed piece of work, they proceed to copy the completed piece of work changing no part of it, they then hand in the assignment as their own.
