What is Turnitin and how does it detect Plagiarism?
Turnitin is an online tool that helps prevent and detect plagiarism. It works by comparing each student’s submission against a database of:
- web pages (more than 62 billion)
- student papers (more than 734 billion)
- journal articles, periodicals and books (more than 165 million)
Turnitin produces a similarity report that needs to be interpreted by a staff member. This is where you come in!
What will I learn?
You’ll learn how to:
- read a Turnitin similarity report and detect potential instances of plagiarism

- spot tricks used to confuse Turnitin
