Mississauga S.S. Policies on Plagiarism

Our school has a strict policy on plagiarism and academic honesty. The English department uses turnitin.com as a means of "screening" assignments for plagiarism from both the internet and peers. See link for site: Turnitin

We also have the policy outlined in the student agenda and the same appears on all course outlines. See page 22 of the PDF link to the 2009/2010 M.S.S. Student Agenda:

    Simon.

    Hi Simon,

    Turnitin works really well, and I am glad to use it. The nice thing baout it is when it produces an "originality report" where I can see what is from another source, and then judge from there (if they have included a citation or not). The only thing I don't like is that I often have to chase students to actually submit, which is not a problem with the program at all.

    Overall, I have been quite happy with it. It's very user friendly.
