03 Answers and one-line notes

# Answer One-line note
1 50 years After that the work falls into the public domain.
2 Presenting someone else is work or ideas as your own without acknowledgement. Even with reworded sentences, an idea taken from a source must be credited.
3 Copying and sharing the work under the licence terms. CC BY, for instance, allows reuse as long as the author is credited.
4 No. The NC condition forbids commercial use. Commercial use needs separate permission.
5 A patent protects an invention; copyright protects the expression of a work. One covers a technical solution, the other covers text, music or images.
6 The idea still belongs to the source; uncredited paraphrase is still plagiarism. Paraphrasing changes the wording, not who owns the idea.
7 The customer is name and phone number Only data that identifies a specific person is protected.
8 Six They run from purpose of collection to access and correction.
9 Misuse of personal data without consent, and the caption may be defamatory. It also involves using another person is image and online bullying.
10 Being online does not remove copyright; use still needs a licence or an exception. Only public domain material, licensed material or fair dealing use is free.

04 What to do after marking

  • After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
  • Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
  • Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
