Where Does Plagiarism Start, and Inspiration End? (1 Viewer)

[AKONS]

I've found an essay with mostly perfect summative quotes for a text. Is it okay if 80% of my essay's quotes where aligned with this essay? Or is that just plagiarism?

If it's just the quotes that are the same It is fine, because in a HSC cohort there is bound to be some students who have all the same quotes for 1 text. It is only when the analysis is word for word for 80%+ in which its a real possibility of plagiarism (although I know students have word for word copied and didnt get caught).

If your quotes are the same that means your ideas/themes explored are the same/similar. Not a risk I would personally take as over 600 kids get caught for plagiarism.

Same I stole the quotes from one of the exemplars and used it in trials and did decent, never got alarm bells.

lol. To be safe I would just replace them with similar quotes which convey the same themes/ideas. But you can keep it if you want.

I don't think it would be necessarily plagiarizing if you use the same quotes but if you did the same analysis then it would become a bit obvious.

lol our teacher gave many 0s in trials because kids had 2 or more of the same quote in each para. This is because their analysis becomes similar as the ideas/themes explored is similar.

Yes the HSC marker may not get all the same students who did this. But is it really worth the risk?
