On the first day of semester you are happy to discover the assigned essay is on a topic you wrote a paper on the last term. You submit it as requested via Turnitin on the due date with a new cover page. This is okay because it is your own work.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Resubmitting a paper you wrote previously for credit in a new course without disclosure or permission is self-plagiarism and is generally not permitted.

Relevant knowledge points: Plagiarism is presenting others’ work as your own; self-plagiarism (duplicate submission) is presenting your own previously submitted work as new for separate credit. Most academic integrity policies treat both as misconduct because they misrepresent what is original work for the current assignment. Turnitin is a detection tool, not an authorization; a new cover page does not change the content or originality.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. You wrote the essay last term and already received credit for it. That means the work has already fulfilled an assessment requirement.
2. Submitting the same content again without informing the instructor falsely represents it as new work produced for the current assignment.
3. Academic integrity rules require that work submitted for assessment be original for that assessment unless explicit permission is granted to reuse prior work, or the reuse is properly cited and allowed by the instructor.
4. A new cover page or submission via Turnitin does not remove the duplication; it conceals the reuse rather than discloses it.
5. Proper procedure is to obtain prior approval from the instructor (or to cite the earlier paper and make substantial new contributions), otherwise the submission constitutes academic misconduct.

Why the correct answer is correct: The statement claiming “This is okay because it is your own work” is false because ownership does not automatically authorize resubmission for new credit. Institutional rules focus on originality for each assessed task, not just authorship.

Why “True” would be incorrect: Choosing True would ignore policies on duplicate submission/self-plagiarism and the requirement to disclose or get permission before reusing past work.

Conclusion: Therefore the correct answer is False, matching the provided answer.
