Research sources for writing assignments?

[bjcheung77]

Overall, I am wondering how your educational institutions allow using such sources when having a paper assignment, how about plagiarism checker?

Where are you from?  How does your institutions allow you to do your research?  For most institutions, they have TurnItIn or other alternatives.  The tool basically checks your submission with others in the institution and the cited sources to see if your sentence structure is identical to what has been found.  

I had been flagged before as my personal details are always on my paper, but there was one time, I had a very "common" sentence and for some reason, it matched the cited page, I had to "retype" that sentence before the grader did their work in grading...
