Cheating on degree courses has often been in the news in recent years thanks to the growth of illegitimate, immoral essay mills selling the same piece of work to hundreds of students and actively telling them to submit them as their own. It’s gotten to the stage that student essays are being scanned for plagiarism, seemingly painting all students as guilty until proven otherwise.
But traditional plagiarism detection services like TurnitIn are prohibitively expensive for many universities, and especially so for students.
That’s why UK Essays, Britain’s leading provider of model student essays, has teamed up with Predator, a free online plagiarism detection service which scans your work against billions of online journal articles, essays, e-books and websites. What’s more, because it’s free, students can scan their work to make sure they haven’t accidentally plagiarised, or forgotten to reference a quote or idea.
Tony Eynon, MD of UK Essays: “Predator is the next step in checking your work. You can use the spell and grammar check on your computer, but that won’t tell you if you’ve referenced something properly. Now, all student essays can be run through one place, whether you’ve got a Mac or a PC, and you can see everything that Predator recognises from somewhere else. You can then go through and check the work, making sure you’ve referenced it, and submit your work safe in the knowledge that it’s 100% original.”
What’s more, because Predator’s scans are so intensive, it can even make sure that if you’ve bought a model answer from a company like UK Essays, it’s 100% original. “Our clients pay for unique, original model student essays to help them with their research – with Predator they get that extra peace of mind that they’ve got a unique piece, and if they haven’t, they’ve got proof they can show us to claim the £5,000 No Plagiarism guarantee.”
Not bad for a piece of free kit.
