Question

source: amanda montañez, \unveiling the hidden layers of deep learning.\ published in scientific american, 2016:

it seems logical that the way to make computers as smart as humans is to program them to behave like human brains.

student text:

to be as intelligent as human brains, computers should be programmed to function like human brains.

is the student text plagiarized?

no, it is not plagiarized.

yes, because it fails to use quotation marks.

yes, because it fails to cite the source.

Explanation:

Plagiarism involves using someone else's work (ideas, words) without proper attribution. The student text rephrases the source's idea but doesn't cite the source. Even with rephrasing, not citing the original source when using its idea constitutes plagiarism here. The "No" option is wrong as the idea is borrowed. The "quotation marks" option is incorrect because the student paraphrased, not directly quoted, so quotation marks aren't required, but citation of the source is. The correct reason is failing to cite the source.

Answer:

Yes, because it fails to cite the source.
