Plagiarism Scanner: Add-on for Google Docs

If your school uses G Suite for Education, there’s a good chance that you’ve graded (or will grade) your fair share of papers that have been written and submitted to you via Google Docs. In all of your grading, chances are you’ve come across a sentence, paragraph, or an entire paper that sounds…unoriginal. When you suspect a student has plagiarized somebody else’s work, where do you turn for help? Until now, some of your only options were to copy and paste the suspected text into your favorite search engine or perhaps an online plagiarism checker like the one offered by PrePost SEO. Well, with a free add-on for Google Docs, you can check for plagiarism with just a few clicks, right inside the Doc!
