English Classes Use TurnItIn.com



Turnitin is a totally web-based tool, new to RRHS, which provides an online plagiarism prevention service for both teachers and students.
Purchased to help identify suspected individual cases of plagiarism, teachers are pleased with the effective educational tool it has become. When digital versions of student reports are submitted to the website they are compared to billions of online documents. Teachers are given detailed Originality Reports which includes direct source comparison. Originality Reports are tools to help users find sources that contain similar text to submitted papers. The decision on whether or not the work is plagiarised still needs to be made by the teacher, and only after careful examination of both the submitted paper and the suspect sources.
