What kind of plagiarism did Daniel Fine commit in preparing his speech? Daniel Fine chose “Recent Discoveries About Dinosaurs” as the topic for his informative speech. In his research, Daniel found three especially helpful sources. The first was a printed guide to a recent museum exhibition about new dinosaur discoveries in North and South America. The second was Wikipedia, and the third was Montana State University’s Web site about its dinosaur research program. Unfortunately, instead of using these materials creatively to write a speech in his own words, Daniel lifted long passages from the museum guide, Wikipedia, and the university Web site and patched them together with a few transitions. When he was finished, he had a speech that was composed almost entirely of other people’s words.
