Hi Wouldn't alerting students to plagiarism-checking sites that faculty use be a way for students to determine whether or not their plagiarism is likely to be caught? I'm not sure that is a good idea. Instead, students should be directed to a really bad plagiarism-checking site that misses most plagiarism, while teachers use the good sites.

This time the student helped herself to online reviews to write a critique of a book. I called her out on it, and as part of her apology she wants to write an article for our student newspaper. She wants to include an online plagiarism-checker site in her article. Do any of you have recommendations for something students can use before they turn something in?
