at large universities there are whole dedicated servers with a program on them that searches through databases of electronically filed papers that have been turned in before. so if you bought a paper from your frat brother who had the same teacher 3 years ago it wouldve been logged. then when the teacher gets your paper the search for sentences or phrases from "your" paper. previously logged papers come up like a search engine. then they examine you paper with the ones closest to it. i used to have friends that interned i the office of the english department at the University of Alabama. all they did all day was log papers into these servers.
overkill. maybe maybe not. most fraternities have tests, papers, exams, homework on file. because if you fail they don't get your dues.

Go to http://www.plagiarism.org/
They have information on sites that teachers can use to scan submitted work. These scans check against databases containing millions of submitted papers. It searches for statiscally inprobable phrases. If a paper contains enough matches of these phrases in the system, it becomes flagged and the teacher can then compare the paper with the possible match and decide if there was actually plagiarism.

Well, if it's something you're getting off the Internet or popular book it may be something your teacher has seen before.
If the writing is nothing like any of the other term papers you've sent in before. Is the writing style different? Are you using different words? Or your thoughts more complex?
Also, I suppose they could just plus certain phrases from your term paper into Google and see what comes up and if it matches anything.

They can compare it with what you have written the rest of the class and if it does not seem the same it is suspicious. There are websites they can submit the paper to and it checks to see if it is something someone else wrote. You are better off doing your own work, there are times I wish I could cheat but it is not worth being kicked out!

My teacher says that when he marks our coursework, he knows our style of writing. By knowing this, he can tell if its another persons work. If he feels that it may be, he simply types a couple of the sentances in a Google etc. search and the essay is found. This, of course, only works for copied Essays from the internet, but if the teacher is really into his subject (like mine, grrr) he reads outside of teaching English and can tell if our work is copied from somewhere. Obviously he hasnt read EVERYTHING.... but sometimes I think he is damn well close to it! lol

it extremely is not probable plagiarism, i think of...it extremely is greater such as you're no longer bringing up your components. the component approximately papers of this length, i'm guessing severe college? is they do no longer probable care approximately your suggestions on the war. they only choose for you prepare summarizing and quoting. In college and destiny life, you ought to stand lawsuits or expulsion or w/e...(no longer that the instructor cares, she or he's merely following a rubric to grade) All those issues that have been underlined weren't stated. for occasion, you have merely made up that 2000 Tutsi have been killed and no person could be attentive to. you ought to upload a footnote or something that references another source. If human beings see "cnn" they're going to flow "hmm, extremely precise in keeping with possibility" if it extremely is "gossip r us" then your paper won't get lots appreciate.

Well, the first big clue is that the teacher knows your abilities and writing style. If you have spent the semester turning in marginally acceptable work with a barley illiterate writing style and then suddenly turn in a brilliantly insightful piece that uses obscure vocabulary and complex sentence constructs, (s)he is likely to get suspicious.
In short, do your own work!!

Most colleges and schools pay a program called turn it in and this compares your paper with ever online paper, reference, article etc, as well as with other students ever submitted essays or sold essays. they pay thousands of dollars for this and they do use it, i am a student helper of a techer (english teacher) and she makes us submit every paper thorugh here! be careful :O)

any good teacher would have a good idea of what her wards' capabilities and writing styles are. when your paper is not in line with this assessment she is sure to check out its authenticity.
