We shall take the simpleminded view that a theory is just a model of the universe, or a restricted part of it, and a set of rules that relate quantities in the model to observations that we make. It exists only in our minds and does not have any other reality (whatever that might mean). A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements. It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations.

Hawking and Mlodinow (2008) identify two requirements for evaluating the quality of a theory: (1) its ability to accurately describe what is observed based on the model associated with the theory; (2) its ability to make accurate predictions about what will be observed in the future. These two requirements form the basis for comparing one theory to another.

The design team held weekly meetings during the first semester of work. In addition to these meetings, the team members used emails and a listserv for communication. The team eventually created a website hosted by Google to keep track of all of the decisions made during the design process.

In the end the design team created an online repository to document all the design decisions that were made (Lara, Myers, Frick, Aslan, & Michaelidou, 2010). However, initially they held weekly meetings with emails and listservs providing additional means of communication.

In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners' peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback.

We agree with the idea that teachers must know how hiding identity can influence a learning experience so that they can make intelligent decisions regarding when hiding identity is apt in peer feedback situations (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). Without this knowledge teachers could be creating peer feedback activities that result in feedback being shared that is very different than the type that was desired or expected.

What, however, does not merge in this autobiographical text are the ego boundaries of mother and daughter, mother and granddaughter. They always stand apart but close, always in relation to each other, always in a mental and spiritual proximity, but as presented by the text, never threatening each other's subjectivity. In this way, this textual representation of female and, in particular, maternal subjectivity rewrites--or rather, writes herself out of--the patriarchal inscription of the maternal: there is no fusion between the mother and the child; as is the self-sacrificial element of mothering missing from the text.

The lead women in this autobiographical text consistently stand closely to each other while remaining separate individuals. With respect to their mental and spiritual perspectives, they strike a balance between closeness and independence. Through these relationships, the "textual representation of female and, in particular, maternal subjectivity rewrites--or rather, writes herself out of--the patriarchal inscription of the maternal" (Séllei, 2009, p. 180).

No matter how kindly voters treat the panderer in the voting booth, the public overwhelmingly believes that candidates will say one thing to get elected and then ignore their pledges once in office. This lack of sincerity, to the extent that happens, reduces public confidence in government. Candidates should say what they believe. At the same time, the public should demand that candidates speak frankly and truthfully about issues of concern, and it must understand that once a person is elected and looks at the fact in much greater detail, changes in attitude do and should occur.

The public needs to comprehend that, once in office, an elected official may be able to examine the facts much more closely and may, subsequently, change their perspective and that this is not necessarily a bad thing. I agree that "candidates should say what they believe" (Simon, 2003, p. 5) but doing so is difficult when the public is unforgiving when justifiable changes in belief occur.

My position as teacher/designer and a new media opportunity (video annotations) initiated the re-design. I created the YouTube videos because I (1) believed in shared teacher observation discussions and (2) I could. I also brought to the situation an interest in online discussions. I had planned the discussion to take place on top of the video via annotations because I was curious about how people use new media to communicate.

Howard (2011) says that his position as teacher/designer and a new media opportunity (video annotations) initiated the re-design. He created the YouTube videos because he believed in shared teacher observation discussions. If YouTube was purely a tool used in education, would it have received as much attention and investment in advancing its functionality?

The patterns which control a portion of the world, are themselves fairly simple. But when they interact, they create slightly different overall configurations at every place. This happens because no two places on earth are perfectly alike in their conditions. And each small difference, itself contributes to the difference in conditions which the other patterns face.
References:
Alexander, C. (1979). The timeless way of building(Vol. 1). New York, NY: Oxford University Press USA.
Alexander connects simple patterns to the apparent complexity that seems to surround us. The fact that no two places on earth are perfectly alike means that when simple patterns interact they create slightly different overall configurations at every place. This is analogous to the way that the result of math equation can be changed using different variables.

Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of the novel as an embodiment of moral philosophy.

It is not expected that the aspects of a design case which excite the authors are precisely what reviewers see as the case's true points of merit. I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case. A design that is unusual or new forces the author to explain its complexity with more precision.
References:
Howard, C. D. (2011). Writing and rewriting the instructional design case: A view from two sides. International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2(1), 40-55.
Coming up with a novel solution is often a good way of getting attention, “but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case” that describes in detail how the design solution was arrived at (Howard, 2011). A novel solution to a problem may also meet with resistance from those who are invested in the old ways of doing things.

To return to the primeval soup, it must have become populated by stable varieties of molecule; stable in that either the individual molecules lasted a long time, or they replicated rapidly, or they replicated accurately. Evolutionary trends toward these three kinds of stability took place in the following sense: if you had sampled the soup at two different times, the later sample would have contained a higher proportion of varieties with high longevity/fecundity/copying-fidelity.

Explanation / Answer
Item 1:
We can see that student has restated the two required conditions for a theory to be a good theory in different words; therefore, this is paraphrased plagiarism.
Item 2:
Again the student has restated what the team did early on in the semester and what they did towards the end of the semester using different words. Therefore, this is again paraphrased plagiarism.
Item 3:
In this paragraph, student has shared entirely different ideas with using different set of words, therefore, this should not be considered any kind of plagiarism. This is not plagiarism.
Item 4:
In this paragraph, student has copy and pasted the part “textual representation of female and, in particular, maternal subjectivity rewrites--or rather, writes herself out of--the patriarchal inscription of the maternal” from original source. Therefore, this is Word-for-Word plagiarism.
Item 5:
Though the student has given a reference from the original source, but it has been used as a “reference” rather than their own material. Apart from that none of the material has been restated or copied. Therefore, this is not plagiarism.
Item 6:
Most of the first half of student’s part is re-stated version of the original source material. Therefore, this is paraphrased plagiarism.
Item 7:
Student has restated most of the material from original source. Therefore, this is again paraphrased plagiarism.
Item 8:
A major portion of student’s version is copied from original source material as it. Therefore, this is Word-for-Word plagiarism.
Item 9:
This part of the student’s version “but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case” has been copied from the original source as it is. Therefore, this is again Word-for-Word plagiarism.
Item 10:
Almost entire student version has been copied from the original source. Therefore, this is Word-for-Word plagiarism.
