4. In a peer discussion group, you were asked to discuss your paper before you started writing. One of the members of your group gave you an interesting idea. Do you need to cite the idea in your paper as you would cite a quotation from a paper?
According to the definition of citation, this question is not need cite or quote when we write our paper .Because the member is participated our group. If the member is our group, he/she shares our ideas too. We pick up and drop off different ideas between us. From this point there will be a lot of argue between the participants. After the debates, one interesting idea will raise from those of others. Then we will take it and write it. Is it some one's primary source? I don't think so .It is the whole group ideas. So in my understanding, we do not need cite the members idea.
8. You were assigned to post something to a class list online you find an interesting article on the Internet and cut and past it in your posting. Is this considered plagiarism?
Absolutely it is plagiarism. This is some one's particular job or task. Someone exerts or spend time, money and efforts for this issue. If it is some one's effort, we are going to say "intellectual property" Intellectual property is not coping with out cite or asking permission from someone which concern or the owner. So you are taking the post with out quote, and post as yours. This means cheating or stealing, that why i said it plagiarism.
