The syllabus (see the link below) discusses plagiarism and an entire class is spent discussing how to do the essay, and plagiarism is covered there, too.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/14QXEG0Nz2-Ujzf3FUV9g9wPaSeLx29UpsW3gEzl0AT4/edit?usp=sharing

Degree and description of plagiarism, including original source copied, if applicable: 

Student’s original essay: 

Here is a free website to check for plagiarism: https://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ 

Here is what should happen. After the due date of the last book's essay, Dr. Davies would like you to do the following:

Add to the existing document entitled all-past-essays

If this is Fall 2018, you will create this document, not add to it. 

Somehow you are going to download all of the essays ever submitted to cgsc1001 for previous semesters and concatenate them into one single, huge document (about 1000 per semester that the class has been taught.) 

If it is after Fall 2018, you are going to add only the last semester's essays to this growing document. 

Create a document for this semester

Download all of the essays for the current semester and put it in a document called something like 

Winter2020-essays

Use software to see if significant strings of text are in both documents

Identify the source of plagiarism in the past essays document, and the current essays document, and get the names, student numbers, and semesters of everyone involved. Report to Dr. Davies.

How to do all of this? We are not yet sure. Perhaps Elspeth can help. She has provided this file for us to explore:
