Re: [LM_NET] plagiarism check

[Gail Smith <gssmith.ergc@GMAIL.COM>]

The first few sentences may or may not be implicated in the plagiarism.  It
usually works better if you type in a sentence that would be unlikely to
have been written by the student, either because it is too complex, or
because it contains specialized information or construction that increases
the likelihood of finding the original if it is, in fact plagiarized.
