Task 11. Kseniya Zhilina

Hello everyone!As we are discussing plagiarism, I decided to try out one of the sites which provides  effective plagiarism detection tools. PLAGIUM will help you with plagiarism checking using different levels of search.  As for me, its best feature is simplicity of use. On the homepage there is a text box in which you can paste the necessary text. It can be as long as you want to ensure full coverage of your search. However, remember that the longer the text, the longer the amount of time it will take Plagium to conduct its search. The most interesting part is the levels of "scanning", because there are three options available for the users:
  • Quick search;
  • Deep search;
  • File comparison.


They differ in cost, provided tools and whether is it necessary to sign up or not. To learn the details better you can follow the link and scrutinize each of the modes. Finally, when completed with its Web search, Plagium will return links to documents where it has found text that matches or closely matches the text that you have submitted. As for me, this site is well-designed, easy in use and also very effective. However, if you are a frequent user of the platform, Plagium urges you to pay for a subscription. As practice shows, we are not used to pay for such things in the Internet, so for someone it could be a disadvantage. Thus, I hope my article was useful for you. Have you any thought about PLAGIUM? Let's explore new handy tools together!
See you soon! Bye!

    Hello Ksenia,

    Thanks for exploring Plagium. Your explanation makes it easy to understand how it works & what its advantages are. I liked your explanation of how it works, which can help your peers to use it if they choose to do it. Are you going to use it regularly?

A reflection note. Torgalo Elisaveta

                                                           A Reflection Note Our semester is coming to an end, and therefore I want to leave my impressions about the course of studying academic writing. Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
