I have an interesting problem, which someone might be able to
help me with. I'm writing a paper for a conference at the
beginning of September, about learning academic discourse and
plagiarism, and I'm tracing a bit of text that was originally
generated in a class of mine but which I'm finding in various
places on the Web (this isn't about tracking down plagiarism,
incidentally: it's about the social life of texts . . . )
What I'd like would be to run the text through turnitin.com and
see what it says about it -- but I don't have access to it, and
can't seem to find out whether they still offer a free trial.
If someone on CASLL could run a test on your university's
version, I'd find it extremely interesting. Possible? Write me
off list and I'll get the text to you (it's only about 1000
words).
