PLAGIARISM CHECKER WITH TURNITIN

What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is an online service that enables Universities and lecturers to compare their students' assignments with a range of electronic sources, including other students' work. The service is a valuable tool to help institutions, staff and students prevent and detect plagiarism. Turnitin can be accessed via Blackboard.

Your lecturers will normally tell you when assignment work is to be submitted to Turnitin and make the Originality Report visible to you. They will usually allow you to submit an early draft to Turnitin, then revise your work based on the report which is generated.

What is Plagiarism? What does the University do about it?

Staff will not rely solely on reports generated by the Turnitin software when reaching judgments on whether plagiarism has occurred:

“The electronic detection software does not make decisions about the intention of unoriginal work, nor does it determine if unoriginal content is incorrectly cited or indeed plagiarised. It simply highlights sections of text that have been found in other sources to help academic staff members make these decisions. In many cases this will lead the academic member of staff to provide feedback to students on how to improve their coursework submissions and citations. All assessment decisions will continue to be made by the course tutor who will review the entire work.”
