Turnitin clips plagiarism’s wings

Friday, May 24th, 2013

Academic work at a university entails that the student be exposed to the ideas, written material and other intellectual and creative material of others. The intention with academic studies is precisely that the ideas of both the lecturers and the students will be shaped and polished by others. At the same time, students ought to go further than what was devised, written and created by others; he or she should critically evaluate it, provide new and original input or syntheses, and apply these to contemporary and local studies of problems. This is where academic activity becomes satisfying at university level.

Naturally, lecturers can only evaluate the contribution of their students if the contributions of others are clearly distinguished. This takes place through acknowledged systems or the process of acknowledgement and referencing. If these conventions are not adhered to and the required recognition is not given, the basis of the academic work at a university is undermined. Plagiarism is committed when someone else’s work (words, ideas, creations) are taken over and passed off as the writer’s own.

The university uses Turnitin to test plagiarism. Turnitin integrates with the Learning Management System (Webstudies or Ematies). (See more information below) Assignment links are created within the LMS which students use to upload their assignments to. The assignments submitted by students are stored in a database used to check for plagiarism. This prevents one student from using another student’s paper, by identifying matching text between papers. Assignments are also be checked against web pages, books, newspapers and available journals on the net.

The University aims to ensure that mechanisms are in place that will enable lecturers to promote academic integrity and to eliminate plagiarism. The most successful approaches to dealing with student instances of plagiarism allow for a ‘developmental approach’, which implies that cases of plagiarism – with the exception of serious cases – be used as opportunities to instruct the guilty persons as to what is expected and how to handle information. In addition, such a student could be directed to redo the assignment.

For more information on the university’s the Interim Guidelines for dealing with Plagiarism, please visit the CTL website: http://stbweb02.stb.sun.ac.za/ctl/policies.html
