This week, we had to complete our Turnitin assignment. The assignment consisted of two parts: the first was a plagiarized paper, with all of the content taken from the sources that our instructor gave us, and the second was a unique paper that we wrote from our own words. The first paper had to have 90% plagiarism, and our unique paper had to have less than 25% plagiarism when checked with the Turnitin software. My unique paper had 0% plagiarism, which I suppose is just great. The goal of this assignment was to see how easy it is to use this software, which could help when a teacher has to grade a multitude of papers. I have actually used this software before when I was enrolled in community college, and I have always thought it was a brilliant idea to save teachers time in checking if something is plagiarized. I think that this is something that I will definitely use when I'm a teacher, as I'm leaning towards being an english teacher in high school some day.
