Comment on SafeAssign sucks by Nike

I am an undergrad. I uderstand the logic of referencing works. Why steal an intellectual property? Look at others’ cited materials you don’t have to agreed with them….say what you think your deduction pre or post the material whilst referencing it. It takes nothing out of you. But actually shows your own intellectual strength if you can explain and link thoughts which disagreed or agreed with the cited materials. And information and knowledge increases with looking at past works. Why short change yourself?

So now academia, punishes kids with the fact that they can’t evolve their intellectual thoughts on their own. Makes them to have to look at other cited material before they can explain their own thoughts; even if they rediscover that another person thought along the same lines as what they developed. It’s self defeating

Argh, I’m taking an online class at my university right now. I’m probably never going to take an online class at university again. Thank you for your post.

PS – I’m an ex-ESL teacher!

Comment on How to Cheat TurnItIn and How to Cheat the Cheaters by Bola C. King-Rushing

@Amanda: If your instructor is any good, he or she will not consider you a plagiarist. What people need to realize is that Turnitin, SafeAssign, and related products are not *plagiarism* detectors; they are just tools that highlight (as happened Judy above) material that is the same as that found elsewhere. It is up to the instructor to look at the flagged material and determine whether it is stolen or whether it is simply a coincidentally identical phrase – which, as Judy points out, can happen a lot in academic work. It’s not something to be embarrassed about; experienced academics read and write a lot of material, and we end up using and re-using phrases because they do the work we need them to do. There’s nothing wrong with that, and no instructor should hold that against you.

On the other hand, Turnitin will catch a student who buys a paper from essaymania.com or lifts whole passages out of SparkNotes or Wikipedia, and that’s what we’re really looking for.
