Student Plagiarism
I know that student plagiarism is a huge problem, but I never realized that there are programs to test the papers. Below are several of the recommended sites. I'll be using these to test student papers at some point. Last term I had a distinguished member of the sheriff's department in my class. When I explained how I wanted the students to cite their posters, he had never heard of citing. His reasoning was that he was the one doing the work and researching the papers. I had to take him all the way back to the start by asking if he had made the original discovery. His amazement provided an awakening for me. Has anyone ever used any of the sites below? Which ones are the most user friendly and still highly functional?

I have not used any sites designed to test plagiarism, but online cheating is a common thread on many of the listservs. You may in interesting and useful to join the DEOS- list (Distance Education Online Symposium). Even though it is listed as distance ed, it has lots of relevent info) One of the threads being discussed now is cheating, and it has certainly come up before. They have archives that are searchable by subject.
