Dear All
One of our lecturers has an essay which is suspected of being plagiarised. The essay has been submitted via TurnitinUK and the report was okay, with no obvious duplication being highlighted. The suspicion is that the essay is a 'purchased' essay, with the request to ensure it exhibits no duplication when submitted via TurnitinUK. Unfortunately a claim of plagiarism cannot be made unless there is specfic evidence, such as grammatical changes, collusion with another student, a high percentage level of duplication on the originality report using TurnitinUK, etc. I had a look at the original Word document, but this does not provide much insight (via the File, Properties menu; Tools, View, Hidden text and Track Changes options)
Has anyone any other suggestions for trying to find out any other sources of evidence prior to initiating a meeting with the student?
Thanks
