web plagiarism check

[Leavit]

I study music and every now and then we have essays ofc. and i want to plagiarism check my texts before my teachers do, because i always get my info from the web

So are there any known ways of doing this free?
I googled it and just got really confused

 

[professorlamp]

my guess is all they do is copy and paste a bit of your text and then the site comes up ?

 

[Leavit]

yes i thought of that to but i have been told that every teacher here in sweden has to run all texts through 2 different plagiarism algorithm thingies

 

[Erik Monsonis]

In Hungary they run the texts through one algorithm and they fuck us all the time!

Simple solution to this is, do your own work. Seriously. When I was at Uni I took 70% of my material for essays and shit from the internet but I write it myself, I read for example a 2 page text, understand it, then write in my own words. If you do this no algorithm will get it and they did the same at my uni, I saw people getting zero's and flunking because of that

Well you are completely right.

But this essay is for returning tomorrow. We only had one day to write about a pretty massive social problem. This was the test.

Ohwell whatever

One thing straight!

I dont deliberately plagiarism this shit. i just think at such short notice it will be impossible not to plag unintentionally

Reword the stuff then, I see no other way. Plus it'll be good practice, the more you do it the faster you'll become at it.

Good luck

When I was in college, the only way to plagiarize was out of a book or Lexis/Nexis, so it was a heck of a lot easier to find ways to re-word and re-work so it fit better, vs. the whole "copy/paste" thing

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Around here they have a couple of commercial systems they feed the essay to, and they do a pretty damn thorough check of the material. Just do it yourself.

My uni uses a system called Turnitin. It is profoundly shit at its job, just like most things around my uni.

 

[greyskull]

one of my friends teaches music tech and one of the first things he does when marking is to search for the subject in question on wikipedia and see how much it's ripped off.
