Turnitin is the world’s largest plagiarism prevention system. Papers submitted to it are compared to millions of Web pages, previously submitted term papers, and proprietary scholarly sources to find evidence of textual matching that a professor or student can examine to determine if there has been any deliberate or inadvertent plagiarism. An excellent pedagogical tool.
Faculty members who desire a Turnitin account should contact Craig Smith at csmith@drury.edu or ext. 7282.
