      Time to fight with "Procrastination"

       

      Have you ever wondered that your students’ work in your hands are original ideas?

      Generally, we just give homework to our students for academic purposes and some of them do their homework on their own whereas some of our students may copy and paste it from somewhere else.

       

      I want to share some links that might be helpful for you if you want to be plagiarism detective. I believe that it is time to change our learners’ procrastination habits. 

      Your students can send their assignments via e-mail to you and with one click you can easily check the originality of their work, just simple and time-saver. If you want to learn more about turnitin, you can just check it http://turnitin.com/en_us/home. 

      Another website offers us an online environment http://www.academicplagiarism.com/ where you can find academic plagiarism with an ease. 

      Plus, here is another free online plagiarism detection tool. http://www.duplichecker.com/  You can just enter your text and then wait for the result.

      I hope, these links will be useful for your grading process. Your report is ready in a few minutes.

       

      One more tip for plagiarism : Sometimes students translate the documents originally in their mother tongue (Turkish) to English. Then show it to the teacher as if the ideas were their own. 

      I would be happy to hear more from you,

      Enjoy 

      Happy blogging,

      Dear oztrkozge, there's something wrong with the links... I can't open them. Maybe it's my Opera, but check them just in case.

      I've had difficulties with inserting links into text so I've given up and just post the links as they are.

      The one's you've shared are great!! They'll definitely come in handy with some of my students. ;)
