"We are our own aptest deceiver": Debunking the Top Five Similarity Score Myths

Webcast brought to you by the Turnitin Professional Development Team

What is considered a "safe" similarity score for Turnitin Originality Reports? What happens when text is highlighted but the student hasn't plagiarized? Can I just let the percentage score and color coding tell me what's acceptable or not?

Join us for the first Back2School session presented by the Turnitin Professional Development Team, who will debunk the top myths and share how best to help students with Turnitin. The Turnitin PD team will share strategies on how to use Turnitin as a formative tool through the use of drafts, proper similarity score interpretation, classroom best practices, and institutional policies. And how as a result, both the quality of student work and the openness of the feedback process can be improved.

Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Time: 1pm PT / 2pm MT / 3pm CT / 4pm ET (see more times)
