  • Plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work, including the work of other students, as one’s own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. What is considered “common knowledge” may differ from course to course.

    1. A student must not adopt or reproduce ideas, opinions, theories, formulas, graphics, or pictures of another person without acknowledgment.
    2. A student must give credit to the originality of others and acknowledge indebtedness whenever:
      1. directly quoting another person’s actual words, whether oral or written;
      2. using another person’s ideas, opinions, or theories;
      3. paraphrasing the words, ideas, opinions, or theories of others, whether oral or written;
      4. borrowing facts, statistics, or illustrative material; or
      5. offering materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgment

Turnitin

Two options exist for using Turnitin at IU:

1) You can use Turnitin within the Assignments tool in Canvas. This integration allows student-submitted papers to be sent to Turnitin directly from Canvas. Learn more about this process at https://kb.iu.edu/d/advs Links to an external site..

2) You can set up a profile with Turnitin.com Links to an external site. and create classes and assignments on their website. With this option, your students will also need to create profiles and enroll in your course site on Turnitin.com Links to an external site.. They would then submit their papers to that website, which is also where you would view their reports. This option also allows you to submit papers yourself. We will need to set up an account for you before you can use this option.  Please contact UCET (ucet@iusb.edu) for additional information on setting up an account.
