“Since I was never taught anything and some of the question were not directly from the text i would study online and read different websites to prepare for the test. I used some of the information on these websites on a few short answer problems that I was unsure of because it was obviously never covered. I did not do this with every single problem. I was simply trying to teach myself so that I could do okay on these exams.”

It seems to me that if you used information copied from websites without citing it that would be plagarism. I have taken tests on line and if the verbage you used was very much like the site it came from she could have easily interpreted that as you googling the answer and cutting and pasting it into your test.
