the professor's assistant ? what kinda prof' you working fer? and i have no idea what plagarism is. some phoney papers? and i have no i dea what the point of your job is. and turnitin.com? what does that have to do with your job ?

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

The professor's assistant is just that. I assist the professor in menial tasks. One of them is sorting out the cheaters and non-cheaters. The cheaters usually just Google something and copy and paste the text and then hand it in as something they claim the wrote themselves. That is called plagiarism. Turnitin.com is a website where you can find out if the paper is plagiarised or not. What I'm asking is, how good is it?

To steal ideas from one person is called plagiarism. To steal ideas from many people is called research.

Your job sounds kind of fun. I always love it when people who try to beat the system get caught. It seems to me that society works best when everyone plays by the same rules.

Ah, you mean communism?

@ FF, how can the site tell you if the paper was plagarised (or something?)

The only system where everyone plays by the same rules is total dictatorship. Yes, you get order and stuff. But at what cost? BTW, what is the stuff students use to cheat - ya know, like small sheets of paper with formulas etc. hidden in a pen to be used during a test? I don't even know the regular word in my language (though we got lots of slang versions), not to speak of the English one.

I think what you mean is peek-notes in dutch they are known as "spiekbriefjes"
I can't exactly describe the english translation

In Serbian, they're called "puškice".
The translation -- "little rifles", or "Shotguns in deminutive"


Cpbuja ybuja!

It's not a real job. I help this teacher that I like and I get a bit of study points. I'm still a student. And no, I'm not talking about cheating during exam. I'm talking about blatant copying and pasting of some document easily found on the Internet, and then claiming that it was yours.

I think every body does that...

the only different is that whether they remeber and apply what they copy and paste or not..


most of my professor do that, and we all end up being mad..

I've used turnitin.com. I don't know whether it works or not, but I've gotten no problems before.

And yes, plagiarism sucks, for sure. Don't do it.

Face the fact: there still are teachers who don't accept anything that is not strictly to the letters of the books they read. Such folks would more readily accept a copied-and-pasted course work than the one written by the student him/herself, since the latter doesn't seem quite as "sophisticated". I don't say that all teachers are like this (I'm not), but I've met some.

I think you guys may have got the wrong idea when I say play by the rules. I just meant society would be much better if everyone was honest.
