Session Description
Getting the Most Out of Turnitin discusses the different functions of a report and how to dig deeper to find additional sources utilized by the student. The presenters will describe what the Similarity Score indicates and how it relates to plagiarism. Example reports will be reviewed, and discussion will include red flags that suggest further investigation is needed.
The Teachable Moments presentation helps instructors with the next step: once an instructor has reviewed the Turnitin report and determined the APA elements are missing, he/she must manage the issue with the student. This portion of the presentation provides options for teachable moments, so the student learns from the mistake. We will share a variety of methods that faculty can utilize to assist students with learning scholarly writing skills and utilize their own academic voice.
