TURNITIN AS A LEARNING TOOL

Turnitin helps prevent plagiarism by providing both the student and the professor a feedback report that compares any student work submitted through the software with a comprehensive database of books, journals, websites and papers written by other students. Some of the writing assignments in this course will use Turnitin software to help students improve their skill at paraphrasing statements contained in research on a topic and to help increase awareness of the proper use of citation when a student writes a paper using ideas or statements taken from a research source. For any essay-based assignment submissions, including but not limited to homework, papers, and projects, students will be expected to submit that assignment through Turnitin in Canvas, following the submission guidelines given with the assignment instructions. Prior to submitting a final draft of an assignment, students will have the opportunity to submit several drafts of that assignment to Canvas in order to get sufficient feedback from Canvas reports to help minimize the risk of plagiarism. If the assignment continues to have evidence of plagiarism in the final draft of the assignment, the professor will file a report to the Department Chair documenting the use of the paper as an action of academic dishonesty. If a student fails to submit an assignment to Turnitin, the professor will assign a grade of zero for that assignment. By submitting a paper to Turnitin, that paper will become source material included in the Turnitin database.
