Just reword it, that should work, most software that is used only works on direct quotes
Ways to be beat Plagiarism
- Thread starter nightrider1470
- Start date
here is what I did, pich an article (or jsut start with a wiki article)
take out all the facts and put them in a list under each section / chapter / "part" heading - as in single / few word facts.
cross reference each fact with google, to check its a common fact, and pick up additional information along the way.
jumble the facts up a bit and then turn it onto paragraph (obviously making sure that the facts stay in the right groups)
eg one I had to do because our son forgot until the night before it had to be in
my original infor from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_dog
my notes started
Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys)
burrowing rodents
native of North America
like grasslands
five species
black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah and Mexican prairie dogs.
ground squirrel
United States, Canada and Mexico
I then google each "fact" and make sure its looks correct and add additional information
I got an B+ for the article I asked my son to add 4 pictures to the essay he did not bother, they marked it down because there were no pictures.... (I also got good results from several other essays I did on the same way)

Crumbs, have you never heard of the term paraphrase?
Secondly, don't plagarise. Read topics/articles research on your own, then put into words your own understanding. If you need help constructing it, then look to the articles for a rough guide if it helps, but don't just copy, it won't help you in the long run.
Don't you want to learn?

Personally I think this topic should be closed.

You mean your son got...?
yer technically, I was well chuffed with my first A since I never went to unit... it was a B+ but had he added the pics I downloaded for him it would hae been an A..
Copy and paste the section you want to use a paragraph under your essay.
Read it and rewrite / reword it as you go along, and then place a number in brackets after the section indicating which reference it is from, or wtite the authors name followed by 'et al' and then delete the copy pasta section when done.
Fool proof and easy.

Just reference it correctly, then you can't get done for plagiarism... Mind you, they might take off a substantial amount of marks as it's not your thoughts on the matter..

Why are you doing your son's work for him? He's hardly going to learn much that way is he?
O/P has disappeared. Is this another troll thread?

My work came back with a load of plagiarism, and I just made up the reference, thats was all.

Just reference your assignments that way you can use other peoples work but you're stating it's not our own which is perfectly acceptable

Plagiarism - Getting in trouble for something you didn't do.
Copy it, and get a thesaurus. Every few words, as long as it's not in a quote, look it up in the thesaurus and replace it with another word with the same meaning. Best to rewrite whole sentences, even paragraphs.
But the simplest ways are: writing it all yourself, and maybe pasting in a couple sentences with a few modifications to help you along the way. And the other, avoiding it altogether and just using your information as a source, nothing more. That means no direct copy paste

Excellent way to set up your kid for failure.
If they can't do the work then help them by all means but don't cheat. You're setting themselves up for failure when they have to do exams - spending time actually helping and going through it could both get them good grades and an actual understanding of the work.
God help them when they get to proper work.
