possible to plagerise during a test? (1 Viewer)

[jeniii]

during a test .. when you memorise exact sentences, quotes, paragrahps and use them to asnwer short/extended responses is that still called plagerising???

i always thought it was different ... this came up coz i have a physics exam coming up and we have to hand in our notes. my notes .. are like direct sentences summarised from this book. as long as i write bibliography its not plagerism right?

but still ... is it possible to even plagerise in a test?? apart from copying stories ... more like information (maths/physics/economics/legal etc)

not that im implying anything ... ok the title sounds a bit off =="

If you memorise or reproduce information from other sources and claim it to be yours that is considered plagiarising. Peronsally, I think anything more than a paragraph of reproduced information that is NOT acknowledged (i.e. given reference) is considered plagiarism.
- It's NOT plagiarism if you recall information that you have learnt
- It IS plagiarism if you reproduce information word for word without acknowledgements

so in a test am i really expected to give a reference when im memorising paragrahps from a text book?

in a physics test.
an extended responce asking for characteristics of various star groups.
i memorized a whole page from this physics text book and answer the question word for word from the book ... with out mentioning the text book.

am i plagerising?

Just remember key points and rewite them in your own words, devote the time that you spent memerising to other subjects.

2) I dont think the teacher will mark you as plagerising from your textbook. Firstly, i doubt the teacher memerised the book. Secondly, i doubt he can be bothered to check. However, to me it's still plagerising. You are using your textbook information and reproducing it under your name, hence your test.
