I had a case once where a student went to a Chinese website, pressed the "translate" button and submitted the result. It was sheer gibberish.

Is it widespread? How good is it? Does it lead to problems with students being accused of not producing their own work? (e.g. due to a mismatch between the quality of their assignments and other forms of communication, or due to the student not being able to understand the translated product when asked about it). Is it, in fact, their own work? Do they just use it to translate language or can it do anything else? > > Phil > ************************************************************************* > You are subscribed to the JISC Plagiarism mailing list.
