Which form of academic misconduct did Claire commit?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating forms of academic misconduct, we need to match the scenario to standard definitions and recognize common misperceptions.
Option 1: 'Cheating on an exam' Often implies using unauthorized resources or assistance during an exam. While serious, the question specifies Claire claimed ownership of someone else’s work, which is a distinct form of misrepresentation rather than cheating during an assessment with prohibited aids.
Option 2: 'Claiming ownership of someone else's work (plagiarism)' This aligns with the act of presenting another person's ideas or writing as if they were one’s own, which is a direct violation of academic integrity policies. It involves misrepresentation of authorship and intellectual property.
Option 3: 'Handing in the same assignment in more than one course' This describes self-plagiarism or duplicate submission, where the same work is reused across courses. While also an integrity concern, it does not necessarily capture the act of claiming another’s work as one’s own, unless the duplicated submission includes others’ work—context matters, but the phrasing focuses on ownership of someone else’s output rather than reuse.
Option 4: 'Presenting falsified or invented data' This is fabrication or falsification of data, a form of research misconduct. It involves making up results rather than misattributing authorship, so it does not describe taking credit for others’ work in general.
By distinguishing between misattributing authorship (plagiarism), misrepresenting data, cheating on an exam, and duplicate submissions, we see how the core issue in Claire’s action fits plagiarism, which is about ownership and originality being falsely claimed.
