"Ordinary artists copy, GREAT ARTISTS STEAL"

Yesterday, at Room 213, a computer room, we AGSB held an orientation for   Lecturers:   Ed Zaragosa, Dr. George Fong, Dr. Mars Balgos, Ed Legazpi, Larry Grey (only 5) and two IT staff:   Mac and Renan. of Turn It In  What was odd in the attendance is that the elderly professors were the ones interested. (and still very few)

Uses of turn it in

What is turn it in?   It is web based software for TESTING PAPER SUBMISSION ON STUDENT ON THE FOLLOWING:

1.  Originality
2.  Peer paper comparison
3.  Grades.

This would seem to discourage and verify the nagging questions that enter our minds as lecturers as to whether the student plagiarized or not.   Plagiarism, when committed by students is subject to action by disciplinary board, that may eventually lead to dismissal  (I have this suspicion on papers that seemed to be good to be true, and unbelievably perfect to have been written by the student)
