A friend helped me with a presentation – plagiarism or not?












5















My friend helped me with my assignment. I was having a bit of trouble and he showed me what he did.
The assignment was a speech with a powerpoint in the background.



I did not receive any help in the speech and it was all my own work but two of my slides are similar to his, and I copied his table. The speech is the part directly getting assessed while the powerpoint is merely for the theatrics. This was all done with his permission and he himself showed me how he did the slides.



The powerpoint was twelve slides long. Does this constitute plagiarism?






paper-submission plagiarism

    Could you expand on what you mean by 'copied his table', and what this table contains? Did you literally copy and paste it into your own slide deck? Or did you use the same row and column labels, or other formatting? Did you perhaps just use the same PowerPoint table presets? Was the contents of the table something you have no flexibility in reporting, such as raw data?

Whether it is plagiarism or not, and it is, may be less important than the bigger issue that it is almost certainly academic misconduct. Only your professor can give you advice on whether it is acceptable.



Getting some help may be fine, depending on the rules. Copying a table is less fine and becomes plagiarism if done without attribution. I would disallow it if I learn of it and would encourage you to do better. Since you are a student, I would even discourage your use of "similar" slides since you learn more by working independently and that is the point of the exercise.



The proportion of the copying makes no difference. I assume that you didn't reference your friend in the slide deck, making it plagiarism. I suspect that you think it is probably wrong to do this if you didn't cite the work of your friend.

    "The proportion of the copying makes no difference" - doesn't this lead to the heap paradox? Even with no copying, there will be at least a few words which will be the same. And if not that, then certainly some letters. If I've already seen "i++;" in someone else's program, am I forever forbidden to use it in my code? If not, then what is the smallest amount which is still fine?

This was decades ago, but one of my professors told me, "I will accept work from you as "original" if you can produce it from memory without help." This would not include copy-pasting.



The reason for this test is to track your level of learning. If you could reproduce the table from memory, you would inevitably come up with some (perhaps small) difference from your friend's table. That would signify your learning the material.



You do not appear to have met that test.

  • This seems like a poor test for this scenario. Presumably OP now knows how to make tables in powerpoint (it is really quite easy, one or two clicks and its done). But you cant reasonably expect people to have memorized the data within their table. So I guess tables never count as original work? Or maybe with an exception for data, it does count as original work for OP? Neither seems right to me. We also have yet to get confirmation from OP that "copied his table" means literally copy/paste or a manual equilalent. It could mean that OP used the same row/column labels and style as his friend.

Whether it is plagiarism or not, and it is, may be less important than the bigger issue that it is almost certainly academic misconduct. Only your professor can give you advice on whether it is acceptable.



Getting some help may be fine, depending on the rules. Copying a table is less fine and becomes plagiarism if done without attribution. I would disallow it if I learn of it and would encourage you to do better. Since you are a student, I would even discourage your use of "similar" slides since you learn more by working independently and that is the point of the exercise.



The proportion of the copying makes no difference. I assume that you didn't reference your friend in the slide deck, making it plagiarism. I suspect that you think it is probably wrong to do this if you didn't cite the work of your friend.

    "The proportion of the copying makes no difference" - doesn't this lead to the heap paradox? Even with no copying, there will be at least a few words which will be the same. And if not that, then certainly some letters. If I've already seen "i++;" in someone else's program, am I forever forbidden to use it in my code? If not, then what is the smallest amount which is still fine?

  • @Matt: At this time, we don't know that the OP CAN reproduce this table from memory. We do know that he "copied." So the way for him to correct this is to "pull" the table that he submitted, and replace it with his own work, if it is not too late. And worst come to worst, maybe he'll learn something for next time.But if he had done it right the first time, there would be no need for him to worry about plagiarizing, or ask the question.

  • Yes. That is correct.

  • This seems like a poor test for this scenario. Presumably OP now knows how to make tables in powerpoint (it is really quite easy, one or two clicks and its done). But you cant reasonably expect people to have memorized the data within their table. So I guess tables never count as original work? Or maybe with an exception for data, it does count as original work for OP? Neither seems right to me. We also have yet to get confirmation from OP that "copied his table" means literally copy/paste or a manual equilalent. It could mean that OP used the same row/column labels and style as his friend.

  • Finally, your test seems to be based on what OP "could" do, but then draw conclusions based on what he did do. We dont know that OP cant make such a table on his own. Plagiarism isnt based on what people can do, but what they have done.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana

Image
Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
