If you teach classes at TuHS, you can create a Turnitin Feedback Studio account, thanks to our building subscription. If you are new to Turnitin and do not have an account, contact us by email and we will add you to the account and get you started creating classes and assignments.
Turnitin is well known for its Originality Reports, as well as for being a platform that makes it easier to teach students the important skill of avoiding plagiarism by giving proper credit to the work of others. However, the platform has many additional features. You can use pre-existing rubrics or add your own for online grading and feedback, or you can have students do anonymous peer editing (to name a couple). For research papers or essays written on devices (whether at school or at home), Turnitin is an essential service. |
