Subject: RE: chasing down plagiarism
I have found that that they are extremely clever in copy-paste and we
can look all we want, but will not find it. The only solution I have
found and which seems to work is having them do drafts. I know it is a
bit of work for us, however, the results seem to justify it. Also if you
are giving group projects then it is only one draft a group which may
make it a bit easier.
I also write the following in the rubrics: if the final project work is
very different than the drafts you handed in, I will deduct points.
I try to make it clear to them, that if the work is theirs and there are
some errors, it is ok, but I will not tolerate having others do the work
for them or having them just copy paste. Hence, the draft. I get a good
idea of what they are doing, make some comments and in smaller classes
will take more drafts if necessary. I want them to see that writing is a
process and not just a one time task.

even tho I'm sure the work is plagiarized , I can't seem to ever find it.
What am I doing wrong?....and since I'm sure they're clever enough
to change a word or 2 or change the words around..I"ve already tried
that!!!!
