Turnitin

Turnitin helps to ensure originality in student

writing by comparing papers with over 150 million

assignments and billions of web pages. It tells the

professor the percentage of the student’s

assignment that was found in these other papers

and can also show the original work where the lifted

section was found. The professor always has final

say over the analysis of a paper.
