submit a first draft, and also turn in all of their notes. When I was first in college in the mid-60's we had to do that.

And they should also search each paper to make sure it can't be bought on-line. Make it crystal clear at the beginning of the term that those things will happen.

There's software for plagiarism, thankfully. But not for original papers. mainer Sep 2019 #7
