What to do when you feel like your student plagiarized? - Created by Allison.Wilder on Mar 09, 2013: EdenFantasys Forum

I recently mentored someone (a class I cancelled because I got a weird feeling about the reviews being submitted) and as I was reading through their reviews, I felt like the work was most likely taken directly from somewhere else (it sounded very similar to something straight off of a product page). I did a search of the toy reviews on Eden, but didn't see anything similar.

I didn't report it anywhere because I have no proof other than a gut feeling, but I'm wondering what other (more experienced) mentors would have done here.

Any advice/tips/suggestion s would be great in case I ever run into this in the future.

On this older thread, Ms. N shared a link to a website where you can go and copy/paste in text and it will help you find out if it's been plagiarized. Here's the link she shared (so you don't have to sift through the entire thread):

Google also works really well. Simply select a few sentences and let Google do the work. It's what I do for editing.

Googling, or using a plagiarism checker works well. If you find that they are plagiarizing, please let an admin know

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the input! I'll definitely be running them through some checks from here on out.

That's what I did as well. It works great!
