On the other hand, students might discover that they have to change only
one character in every 8 words for their plagiarism to go undetected
(they could claim to be dyslexic).

Feedback from my students also supports this - they use it to
check their work before final submission and are very grateful for
anything that highlights text they might have forgotten to reference.
It also helps remind the lazier ones that they do need to include
references...!
It also means that assignments are of a better
> quality and almost all are in on time.
This has been an unexpected bonus for me - the fact that I can set
a deadline for submission that they can't talk their way round has
concentrated their minds wonderfully!
