| Quote | | As a student, I’m required to submit nearly all my papers to a website called Turnitin.com. Turnitin.com helps professors check for plagiarism in papers by reporting how much of a particular paper was derived from other sources (books, other papers, websites, etc.). Professors typically allow up to 10%—nicer professors, 15% —of verbatim copying, because Turnitin.com doesn’t account for properly cited quotations. Typically, a paper of which 20% or 25% and above is not original receives a failing grade, either for plagiarism or for simply not using one’s own ideas. We are always told that a paper should be our ideas and analysis of a certain topic, with proper guidance by others (the sources). A paper should not be someone else’s ideas and analysis guided by us. |
Fails at copying himself. |
My students writing lab reports have 5% maximum flagged by Turnitin for copying, and they have been examined closely by me. My students don't copy at all. I haz Dezine infrens!
