Jeenie-Turnitin.com

Turnitin.com is website which help teacher disclose originality in student papers. If instructors submit documents through an online interface, turnitin.com servers which use pattern matching technology compare submitted papers to other suitable materials and highlight the exact sources that the student had actually used. The submitted documents form conclusion whether plagiarism committed or not from existing database.

The teacher using Turnitin.com believe that this site helped expose papers of the plagiarized students and was available to prove undeniable proof for students. Moreover, they believe that this site may not only save a time but also take a less work to evaluate student works. The other person claim that Turnitin.com help to improve writing skills of students.

However, I think it is not fair. Because these teachers have doubts of plagiarism about student’s papers which use the various sources including book, article, and websites and teachers actually would use turninit.com which is website to check the copy and paste of documents. Moreover, it is also contradiction that only some students committed plagiarism and some teacher used this site. I believe that the relationship between the teacher and the student should be based on the trust and interaction.
