"Did you write this?": Susan Marsh's Answer

Reviewer: Susan Marsh

Position: 9^th Grade Civics/Humaniies Geography Teacher

District/School: Shakopee Junior High School, #720, Shakopee, MN

Number of Students in District/School: District/7,000; School/1,000 (Grades 8 & 9)

Product:  Turnitin

 

Goals:

I wanted to find a way to check for plagiarism and also to get rid of paper copies.  Answering the “Did you write this?” question can add hours to the essay correcting process

Response:

I think the only group that didn’t appreciate it were the students who were plagiarizing. Overall, I see more organized papers, fewer technical errors, and desire to get more good comments. Students enjoy the feedback.

Learning Curve:

It is very easy to learn how to use. I used to spend 3-5 hours for each assignment just checking lines through Google. Now, I am more focused on content, and whether or not students understand concepts, and questions asked. 

How We Use It:

My honors students have four major essays to turn in and regular students have two. All major essays in my class are turned in through Turnitin. This checks papers against the Internet, as well as other students using Turnitin—anywhere in the country.

What’s Ahead?:

I understand the middle school is looking at using it. The high school already does. The high school doesn’t have to teach students how to use it because we’ve already done it, and have set student expectations.

Reviewer’s Notes:

Students now type their essays, and think more carefully about using their own words. It organizes all of their papers on line so that paper is not wasted printing at school. Students have become better editors. When the essay is returned, they note where their technical writing skills need improvement.

If you choose to deal with the carrier directly, you might find it difficult to contact them for updates. Besides this, they might not have sufficient traffic in the geographic area where you would like to have your car transported. Therefore, a carrier company might not be able to provide the service you need.
Before you decide whether you would like to employ the services of an auto transport company to transport your vehicle, weigh the pros and cons carefully. Although there are numerous disadvantages, there are ways to eliminate some of them. You can ensure that you use an enclosed container to prevent environmental damage to your car, and by getting quotes from various companies you can trim the expenses involved. Make sure you choose to work with a company that provides good services at competitive rates.

By giving yourself the freedom to experiment without pressure you will develop the creative part of your brain instead of the over analytical part. Pop/Rock songwriter, Sting commented once that he finds it harder to write great songs now that he has become more analytical of music.

It would be great if more people fight against plagiarism. It is a pain if your work gets stolen.
