Turnitin.com

Last week in my Comp 2 class we finished a major paper and were asked to turn it into the online database, turnitin.com. I found this a very valuable resource for teachers to use as well as a motivator for students to do there own work and not plagiarize. I was motivated to use less quotes and more paraphrasing. I also concentrated on finding good sources to use and was sure to cite them properly. This resource makes it easier for teachers to catch the cheaters and weed out the plagiarized work.
