[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a dumb assignment to use a plagarism check for.  
I’m a lawyer that writes these policies for companies.  We all basically take the standards model language from internet sources (some of which he may have used such as SHrM, others of which would not be easily accessible to a non lawyer) and then edit for our particular client’s needs.  You can’t ask someone to write a form policy and then ding them because their form policy follows the form.  
This is a ridiculous application of plagiarism—you would not want a policy where people put things in their own words.  The whole point of a policy is to use certain standard accepted terms so there is no later dispute about meaning.  [/quote]

Agree with this. It seems like using language from legal and accepted guidelines is kind of the point when a business writes policies to comply with those laws. Wouldn't written policies that hew closely to legal standards be the best way for a business to avoid liability?

Furthermore, if there is a dispute between teacher and student about plagiarism, then the teacher needs to read and assess the assignment herself, not rely on some computer program as the infallible last word. [/quote]
