Which of the following is NOT a potential consequence of plagiarism?
A. Academic warning
B. Academic probation
C. Failing the course
D. Cancellation from program
im confused between C & D
I don't think any of those answers are correct. In the college where I taught, the first three were used every time a student plagiarized; he/she unfortunately didn't believe plagiarism rules would be enforced.
I am not sure what 'cancellation' means here, though. Students aren't 'cancelled,' so it doesn't make much sense.
I don't know what the answer is "supposed" to be, but all of those are potential consequences of plagiarism.
I knew a college freshman who inadvertently plagiarized and was suspended from school for a semester. She appealed and that decision was repealed -- but it was touch and go for a while.
The correct answer is D. Cancellation from program. While failing the course is a potential consequence of plagiarism, cancellation from the program typically happens in cases of severe academic misconduct or repeated instances of plagiarism.
To determine which of the options is NOT a potential consequence of plagiarism, let's break down the options:
A. Academic warning: Plagiarism is a serious academic offense, and receiving an academic warning is a possible consequence for committing this offense.
B. Academic probation: Plagiarism can lead to academic probation, which is a period of restricted academic privileges due to poor academic performance or misconduct.
C. Failing the course: Plagiarism is usually considered a breach of academic honesty and integrity, and as a result, failing the course is a common consequence.
D. Cancellation from the program: Plagiarism can have severe consequences such as being dismissed or removed from an academic program.
Based on the explanations above, option D, "Cancellation from the program," is the correct answer. Failing the course (option C) is a potential consequence of plagiarism, while cancellation from the program (option D) is also a possible consequence.
