I apologize if this thread isn't located in the proper place but while I was practicing with the Reading Comprehension exercises that were posted online I came up with a doubt regarding one of the questions asked in "Cheating and Plagiarism".
Q7 - If students want to use other students' laboratory data, they must ask them and the lecturer first.
We can answer with "True" / "False" or "Not given". In the text it is said that one particular form of plagiarism is " 'dry-labbing', which includes obtaining and using experimental data from fellow students without the express consent of the lecturer".
So I thought I could infer from that sentence that as long as you have the consent of the lecturer you could use experimental data from fellow students - thus making the answer "True" , but it seems the correct answer to the question is "False".
The only thing I can think of is that nowhere in the text it is said you would also need your colleagues' consent though I'm not entirely sure if that's why the answer is "False".
Could someone please explain?
