The following information is from http://www.uah.edu/library/turnitin/about.htm: “Turnitin.com allows the student or educator to upload a paper into the Turnitin.com database, where software will then use algorithms to create “digital fingerprints” that can identify similar patterns in text (“About Turnitin.com”). Then the paper is matched to billions of web pages, paper mill essays, and student papers submitted online. In an hour or less, Turnitin.com creates an “originality report” that highlights any passages from the paper that might not be authentic, and lists web sites and other resources with content that matches that in the paper (“About Turnitin.com”).
Students can use Turnitin.com to:
•
Quickly track down sources used in their essays, minimizing the chance that
they will forget to cite sources.
• Learn about the concept of plagiarism and its consequences for the student,
course, and the academic community as a whole.
• Acquire tips on how to avoid both Internet and conventional plagiarism.
• Learn guidelines for proper citation.
• Gain strong research and writing skills.
• Clarify misunderstood concepts like fair use, public domain, and copyright
laws.”

The students are urged to use turnitin.com before the submission of their reports. The instructor will use turnitin.com in the evaluation of the papers.
