0“4 Secrets for Outsmarting Plagiarizers” presentation and webinar
While so-called detection services like Turnitin help catch plagiarism, students are getting better at beating them, using various techniques that you might not know. Whenever Turnitin similarity score percentages seem suspiciously low, it’s handy to know techniques for spotting and addressing plagiarism. There are even measures you can take to plagiarism-proof your assignments!
