The plagiarism checker we use where I am, I basically use it to check citations. Like… if it’s 70% “plagiarized” it usually means either a student used proper citations, or they copied the instructions Into their submitted document.
we were forced to use it in my undergrad for cell and molecular course, it will make assumptions based on your sentence structure, hurts people that are not proficient in essay writing. It doesnt analyze the context.
Turnitin is such garbage. I hated it in grad school in the mid 2010s, I can only imagine how fucking awful it is now.
I graduated in 2011 and had no idea what this was. Based on this thread, im so fucking glad i missed it
It’s the same awful.
