I need some help real quick. For all of those who have copy and pasted essays from the internet for school.
My teacher has one of the programs to detect plagiarism so if i got an essay from echeat.com, would that be detected by those programs?
Please talk from experience. thanks ns

Usually websites like that will give a paragraph excerpt from there thats available to the public before you buy it. That will come up on the teachers computer and she will see that its word for word and will look into it and you will probably get caught. When a teacher has a program like that (i.e. turnitin.com) then you pretty much have to write it from scratch. Its not worth the suspension

dont be surprised if you get caught even if the program doesnt catch it
if its completely different than your normal writing style / college grad level if youre in 10th grade
good luck

do you have access to the program? because you can run it first and it should tell you how much of your essay is plagiarized. easy enough would be take the ideas from that essay, put them into bullet form and then create an essay around it.

hahaha the internet is a great place for advice


but seriously OP, don't do it, it's not worth the anxiety and potential for a zero. just sack up and write it yourself you'll be very happy you did

Schools teach you how to write essays for a reason.

You need to know how to write proper english in the real world. especially to get a job.
