Re: [Bodington-developers] plagerism detection / turn it in

[Paul D. <pau...@ou...>]

Student work in general is a re-hash of other's - they have to abide by the
rules, and Turnitin is ctually pretty good at spotting just a few changes.

In order to get around the system the student needs to reqword his offending
piece - which is what they should have done in the first place!

% | That's fine if you want students to submit their own work and receive
% | their
% | own reports.  Our experience is that students use this to tune their
% work
% | to
% | defeat Turnitin. Not what we are trying to do, so we use Bodington to
% | gather
% | the work and then an administrator sends off the zip file.  When the
% | results
% | return (can take a couple of days, so I wouldn't wait for a web service
% | reply), the administrator alerts the module manager, who then looks at
% the
% | reports.
