She didn’t commit plagiarism since she wrote the original paper!

Answer 1

Although Trudi technically did not commit plagiarism by using her own work for a different course, it is still considered academic dishonesty. Turning in the same paper for a different course without making significant changes does not demonstrate a genuine effort to engage with the material specific to the new course. In order to maintain academic integrity, students should always submit original work tailored to the requirements of each assignment.
