Unfortunately in our soon to be past (and largely current) offline system of medical education system we inadvertently reward students for stealing by giving the best marks in theory answer papers to the best copy pasted answers from memorized text books thus encouraging a hitherto unrecognized form of plagiarism but the real world of 'virtual shared learning' cannot tolerate sharing of unoriginal work.
Conversational instructions from Faculty Coordinator FC to each student for peer to peer assessment of their monthly assignment for online summative assessment--
(For more about conversational learning check out the reference links below)
"We are planning to start a peer to peer assessment of all the assignments for the month of May by some/all of you as assessors.
More about the process here :https://teaching.cornell.edu/
Will get one student to assess the answers to one question for all the batchmates answers shared here : https://onlineassessmentmay.
Let me know which question you would like to assess for all of your batchmates
Conversational learning from Student responses :

[6/11, 7:41 AM] 1st Peer assessor 2017 batch : Okay sir I would like to do question no. 1
[6/11, 7:45 AM] 1st Peer assessor 2017 batch
: Sir for how many marks am I evaluating each question?
[6/11, 7:45 AM] Faculty Coordinator FC : Will be looking forward to one sample review of one question asap.
One question is 10 marks
[6/11, 7:48 AM] 1st Peer assessor 2017 batch
: 1) for roll no. "n" for that question I would like to give a 9 sir. She has given beautiful illustrative pictures for a better understanding. Also all her answers are correct with proper explanation and images.
[6/11, 7:49 AM] Faculty Coordinator FC
: Are you sure they are her original answers and there is no plagiarism? 🤔
[6/11, 7:50 AM] 1st Peer assessor 2017 batch
: Yes sir, it seems original
[6/11, 7:55 AM] Faculty Coordinator FC
: What about answer 5? She has borrowed an image from some online resource without acknowledging it? What if someone sues her for copyright?
[6/11, 7:55 AM] Peer assessor 2017 batch
: Yes sir that’s true
[6/11, 7:55 AM] Peer assessor 2017 batch
: All her images are from online
[6/11, 7:59 AM] Faculty Coordinator FC
: That would be plagiarism unless she acknowledges them adequately and adds disclaimers about her uncertainty of their copyright issues promising to remove them if anyone objects?
[6/11, 8:01 AM] Faculty Coordinator FC
: But even with a disclaimer how can one be sure that one isn't infringing copyright?
Also what is the evidence for what is displayed in those images? How can we take the images at face value unless they are supported with adequate data driven evidence?
[6/11, 8:02 AM] 1st Peer assessor 2017 batch
: Yes sir that’s there
