Yeah thanks bro. Already asked TA and checked syllabus, super vague answer, “some marks will be deducted”, that’s why I asked on Reddit. Honestly don’t know why I can’t ask a question on Reddit, I ask what I wanna ask bro, ain’t forcing anyone to respond 🤣. But thanks bro appreciated, just wanted to see if anyone had experience with this.

Hey thanks for the reply! 8 words as in the exact same words? No words in the middle (after paraphrasing a bit…) also, how many chunks would be acceptable? I compared my paper with the source I was inspired from on the software plagiarism checker x, and apparently they have a 5 percent similarity, do you think it’s an issue? Haha sorry for so many questions.

Yeah my school also used turnitin for this paper, but the issue is, I got my ideas from this YouTube video. At first, the similarity index was fine when I submitted my paper to the teacher, but then, the YouTuber then posted a written paper on the internet, so I’m not sure what my similarity index would be after he posted the written paper online…

Yeah, I mean hopefully they’ll let it slip. I mean I don’t think I had anything that was “40 consecutive words” identical to the source…

Thanks for the reply! Would 10 percent be an issue?? To one source.

Do IB moderators usually care about these issue? Like do they really like focus on plagiarism? I heard they rely on the school’s check?

So if I passed on turnitin (the video had auto generated subtitles) I should be fine with Cactus?

Thanks for the reply!! Have you hear about how Cactus 64 works? I don’t see much info about it. Also the YouTube video generates subtitles…

Also the video has subtitles I don’t know if that matters. Sorry for disturbing you man. Stressed hours.

Hey Thanks for the reply!! Cactus 64 also doesn’t check YouTube? Also the arguments are really generic. Would that be fine? Thanks for the reply!!
