Went to a training session/workshop on the University's anti-plagiarism software today. Along with around 20 others from the Library.

First we were briefed on the software, then we were let loose on it with the instructions to put together some text that we could upload and test for plagiarism. (We were given the topic 'criminals: born not made' as it's easy to find stuff on the web on the subject, but could have tackled anything if we wished.)

Anyway, I cobbled something together from hits that I found 100 or more hits into a Google search result and other did similar things.

Some, scored 52% of their work being identifiable as plagiarism, some the software reckoned had copied 60% or 70%. But I managed a score of 98%! I'm really NOT sure that's something to be proud of!
