Is there a site that you can go to, to tell if a student has plagiarized?

Question

Or to help you be able to tell. Thank you.

Michael R....you are right, I'm not a student. I'm a teachers aid and as I was grading papers I noticed that somebody had done very well on an essay and this person is usually a slacker. He showed depth and detail and I didn't even think he was aware of the assignment.....so thats why I wanted to know.

Answer 1

Yes, I have heard that there is. University professors seem to know about it.

Here is a good link I found.

Answer 2

Hi! Jacarta Monkey had the right answer -- you Google it. Having had plenty of experience with plagiarism (it sure is fun to kick future teachers out of the teacher ed school for doing so), here's what you do. 1) Find the unique phrase. 2) Type that onto the search engine, only put quotations around it. This will call up the exact phrasing from wherever they got it. 3) Print the page. 4) Highlight the offending, exact copy words on both the printed internet-available page and on the student's copy. Highlight the website address at the bottom of the page.

In cases of paraphrasing (but not exact copying), I like to do the same thing, only instead of highlighting I just make a comment like "Please cite your source even when you paraphrase."

Good luck!

I say,,, are you so confident you're able to lay your existence down via fact which you have self belief he plagiarized? Why no longer supply him a 2nd probability to redeem himself? in line with probability a 22 website paper or see what the youngster can arise with to settle the priority. The embarrassment would be a memory for the the remainder of his existence. Why no longer make a memory of a instructor giving a new child a 2nd probability at the same time as coaching a effective lesson on an identical time. A instructor differences lives for the greater advantageous with a bit of luck. particularly circumstances existence training are discovered the embarrassing way . I say think of it over as quickly as returned ,particular an apology would be needed, yet will it fairly make any distinction? i'm particular this new child has discovered a lesson. clarify to him, he's breaking the regulation and might bear greater advantageous punishment in his grownup existence for his habit. So help make a distinction in a new child existence in the previous it gets started.

Answer 4

Yes there are a few ways...but, if you are a student trying to find their way around these things, I would be helping you cheat, wouldn't I? Cruuising you questions and answers I still don't have a clear picture of you as teacher. More info is needed.

Answer 5

Alot of teachers just surf the internet to find reports that students copied. Google it. I'm sure there's 100's of sites

Answer 6

take some of the more unique phrases and put them in quote and run them thru yahoo or google - if you think they purchased the paper online

if you think that the paper may belong to a friend or sibling - speak to the principal about checking on the other students work

Answer 7

I don't know of a site like that, however, I would try to copy and paste what they have written and perform a search on the net and I think you will find a match if they took it from the web.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

if you copy a phrase from the essay and place it in inverted commas in the search window you will find any webpage that has that exact phrase..

ie.

"copy a phrase from the essay"

Answer 9

type word for word...some of the sentences in a search engine....it will pop up..just like if you search for articles with "history of China" or whatever

Answer 10

You bet there is and it will pick up even if there have been alterations to the text.
