Turnitin.com comes to Marywood

Faculty can now have access to Turnitin.com, an originality checking tool that "allows educators to check students' work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against continuously updated databases". Also, this program allows for online peer reviewing and digital grading. http://turnitin.com/static/index.html

During the week of November 16, the library will host three introductory sessions to Turnitin.com via teleconferencing on the following dates and times:

Tuesday, November 17, 12:30PM - 1:30PM
Wednesday, November 18, 11AM - 12 Noon
Thursday, November 19, 4:00PM - 5:00PM

Location: LRC 319


If you are unable to attend one of the above sessions, you may attend a session at a later date on your own. Details are availble on the Marywood Library website at http://www.marywood.edu/library/faculty-support/turnitin.html
