If this poll had an option for "other", I'd fill in "Copying and pasting verbatim examples (such as from stack exchange) and tweaking them until they work", an actual primary approach that I have seen among university students that I have tutored.
I say that like it's a bad thing, but I have done the same thing myself a time or two, but with a different goal in mind. The student seeks to fulfill an assignment and move on; I was seeking to get something working and then take it apart to see how it works and how I can do that again in the future and how I can adapt it to various projects and the other various "how" questions.
