Understanding Turnitin and Its Features

Turnitin is a popular tool used in educational institutions to detect plagiarism and promote original writing. Once a document is submitted to an assignment folder, Turnitin checks the new submission against its database of materials to look for matches or near-matches in strings of text 'turnitin.com login'. This process helps instructors identify instances of academic dishonesty and encourages students to develop their writing skills.

As of January 2020, UMGC uses the latest version of Turnitin that is integrated directly into assignment folders in the LEO Classroom. Turnitin utilizes data-mining techniques to compile a large database of electronic academic materials that it indexes and stores. This extensive database enables Turnitin to detect even minor similarities between text strings.

In addition to plagiarism detection, Turnitin offers various tools to help students improve their writing skills. The Draft Coach feature is available in UMGC's Office 365 Apps in Microsoft Word on the web, allowing students to receive feedback on grammar, syntax, and citation styles before submitting their assignments 'turnitin.com login'. This feature is designed to assist students in producing high-quality original work.

When a student submits an assignment, Turnitin generates a Similarity Report that summarizes and highlights matching text. The report provides instructors with valuable insights into the originality of a student's work, enabling them to provide constructive feedback and guidance.

Many faculty members at UMGC have enabled assignments for Turnitin in their LEO Classrooms, ensuring that students are held accountable for producing original work. By utilizing Turnitin's features, students can develop their writing skills, learn from their mistakes, and produce high-quality academic papers.
