Hi Carol,
I don't know if this is still possible or not but I had a similar case a
couple of years ago and couldn't find it using Google so I visited some of
the essay for sale sites and by searching by topic found the student's
paper.

Subject: [tips] It's that plagiarism time of year again...
Hi,
I have a student who has done poorly on his exams but has turned in a
stunningly good paper. Frankly, I don't think he wrote it but I'm having
difficulty showing that. I have Googled key phrases but nothing has turned
up, so I don't think he copied and pasted, I think he bought it. Can
anyone give me some idea of what Turnitin.com charges for an individual
license? It's the only thing I can think of, other than confronting the
student, which will most likely be my next step. I hate this stuff, it
takes so much time and really takes a toll on my enthusiasm for grading.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Carol
