medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A bit off topic but relevant to teaching of medieval studies ... have
people come across the iParadigms software for detecting online
plagiarism and copying of work between students? I ask because I
trialled it for use in UK universities and we are now proposing to use
it in my institution. I wonder whether anyone else has experience of
using it.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and

Hmmmm! You to, huh? I received two identical papers which featured
some very fancy language for someone from western Pennsylvania, which
is a real competitor for Texas (yins ain't got nothin' us). The
papers were also from two room-mates. Talk about clueless? yrs, tom
