6.4 Using Turnitin

We strongly recommend that you allow students to use Turnitin to check their citing and referencing. Turnitin works best if it is used as a learning tool to check for omissions or mistakes - much like a spell checker. This will help students form an understanding of how to reference properly, and the importance of academic integrity.

If used only for administrative purposes (and without allowing students at the very least to see the reports when they are generated), TurnItIn is merely a tool to catch students out, and such use implicitly presumes guilt as opposed to affording the benefit of doubt.

We have a suite of guidance on Turnitin on this Wiki.

Tip

Turnitin is best used as a tool for learning the importance of academic integrity. Given to students as a checking tool it can help students learn how to cite and reference correctly.
