I still haven't received an answer.  Since our teachers try to get the
papers bck before the week is over, I don't think I'll suggest they use this
service.  Thanks for your input.

Subject: Update: Plagiserve.com


This is a follow-up to my posting about whether Plagiserve.com is =
delivering reports on uploaded papers.  The answer is yes but it took =
about 8 days for the results.  Most of the lines of the student paper =
they underlined and linked to web sites weren't even close to a match. =
Several reports said 30% of the paper was suspect but upon inspection, =
only the quotes from "Great Expectations" were a match but what was =
confusing was that plagiserve highlighted many suspect sentences not =
just the quotes directly from the piece of literature.  Since none of =
the papers I submitted were plagiarized, I don't have an opinion on its =
ability to find and report works plagiarized from the web. I assume it =
would work but the time turn around is annoying. =20
