Papers

I am currently working on my second college degree.

One of my professors encourages us to have an online site "read" our papers to ensure that it not going to be considered plagerism. He wanted us to know that he could type our paper on this site in the event he believes we have copied someone else's paper and thus determine how much is our original work. I guess the computer must check to see if you directly copied it from an online source, I do not know how the computer can know if you copied someone's paper back from the days of typewriters for example, where the paper from the typewriter would never have been posted online.

I thought this was amazing technology. I know a school in the area that your paper that you write has to pass the plagerism test before you can submit the paper via online to the teacher. This makes sense if you are submitting via online technology and the computer may even verify your work among other classmates who too submitted via online.
