Students plagiarize the same way anyone else does.  By copying some else's work and passing it off as their own!

It sounds like you are asking for someone else's work to represent as your own.  Plagerism is one of the worst sins in academia and if you are discoverd it can force a failure grade and sometimes dismissal from the school

You can take the time to write it yourself.  You can't buy someone else's work and turn it in as your own.  Not only are you not learning anything, you are guilty of plagarism - academic fraud.

That's a fine line to the legallity of it.  Yes, it is plagerism.  If you got caught, would you try to go after the company you paid to write your essay to possibly lose a second time?  \n\nColleges are getting better at catching plagerists.  They get programs that scan papers and do searches on-line for exact text matches.  Too many per paper without referencing and you are called on it by the prof.  They also set up dummy accounts with the on-line paper sellers to search for work turned in by  students looking for copied papers.   \n\nI have found some that I actually write better than most when it comes to papers.  I don't know why.  I have had people read my papers for flow and fluidity.  Many people have stated "you should change this or that".  When I have followed their advice, I get a negative comment on from the professor on the change.  When I stick with my gut feeling that what I wrote is better than the suggestion, I usually get a "Yes!" or similar kudo in that section.

I came across this web site when I did a search for "proving plagiarism" it looks like it could be exactly what your looking for. It includes possible counter measures, useful websites for detecting and fighting plagiarism, detection methods and links to useful sights and even somebody you can contact via e-mail \n\nhttp://www.andromeda.rutgers.edu/~ehrlich/plagiarism598.html\n\nI think my strategy if I was unable to prove the plagiarism would be to quiz the students on their individual essays. Time consuming, but if they are plagiarized the students will doubtfully be familiar with the content. \n\nBelow are some additional sites that I thought might help. Good Luck\n\n\nGood luck!

As a  teacher I have found that in most cases the use of the Internet is a positive research tool. Most students would rather click on the computer than go do real research in the library, but if you use the Internet correctly it can be a valuable time saver.  The down side is I have see so much plagiarism that students aren't thinking for themselves any more.... like all technology it is a positive tool when used with logic and for the right reasons.

You don't want to do that, its called plagiarism. Many schools take a very dim view on doing that.

To plagiarize is to use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=plagiarize).\n\nIf you plagiarize for profit it is intellectual property theft (civil, not criminal).  If you plagiarize for school there is no legal repercussion, but you may get expelled depending on school policy.

Sure, plagiarism can be punished accordingly. But whether it will be noticed depends on the level of company you work with. To be honest, last year I had real troubles with my studies. I had several serious assignments to be done at the same time, along with my term paper. The only way out was to use some essay writing service. The first link I found was http://www.bestessays.com and it worked, to say the least! My professor, who is really a serious teacher didn’t even notice the work was not mine. I got high score and now I’m almost BA. That was a real term paper, not a regular essay, which is much easier to deal for professionals.

I suggest you write the paper yourself. There is a website that most professors use called "turnitin.com" that scans the paper for plagersim.  Any paper bought or downloaded form the internet will show up on this site's scan. Plagerism is not only illegal but from what I have seen, it will get you kicked out of either that class or worse, get kicked out of college.

First, you need to check your university's policy on plagiarism.  \n\nOften, for a first offense, an F for the assignment, or for the class, is the usual consequence.  Second offenses more often result in expulsion.\n\nSecond, when you meet with the professor, with the judicial board, with the dean, or with whatever body is designated at your university to adjudicate cases of plagiarism, TELL THE TRUTH.\n\nWe've all heard every single excuse.  We've all seen students try to shirk responsibility for the offense.  Mercy is most likely extended when students are both truthful and remorseful.

I doubt there is any way to fully identify whether each assignment individually is plagiarized, nor do I feel it to be a constructive use of a teacher's time.\n\nIn-class assessments of individual understanding (and with stringent monitoring of all forms of communication) provide the only fully reliable feedback of student understanding that I can think of. With almost any other assignment, students can easily receive assistance, and this is often a good thing. In order to build successful in-class individual assessments, one must take the following into consideration:\n\n1) There are students who will try to cheat. Providing several different versions of the assessments can help minimize this, though good classroom monitoring is essential. I recently caught one student completing another student's final!\n\n2) Consider carefully what you want the students to know and create assessments that will accurately reflect this. For example, If you want them to be able to write a 5-paragraph essay, test them by giving them a writing prompt that they will know -- like their family. Don't give them a prompt like "Compare and contrast the evolution of primates and the development of quantum physics" and then assume that they didn't understand how to structure an essay!\n\n3) Make sure that individual in-class assessments are weighted highly enough that a student cannot pass on the efforts of others.\n\n4) Understand that everyone has bad (or good) days. Assessments should be frequent enough that these peaks and troughs will be averaged out.\n\nAlthough tests and quizzes are the most common types of assessments, various alternatives should be considered in order to compensate for test anxiety.
