With the growth of the Internet and the accessibility to numerous
sources of information and data, plagiarism, deliberate or not, is
a growing problem in schools and university. To help our students understand
the seriousness of the problem of using someone else's work without
proper referencing, Colegio Roosevelt has decided to subscribe to a "paper
checking service", WWW.TURNITIN.COM.
Turnitin.com is a pioneer in plagiarism verification and is being used
by many universities, schools, and most importantly, the International
Baccalaureate Organization, to verify student essays. It can check
a submitted essay against more than 5 million papers, articles, and
books, and almost any Internet source. The use of www.turnitin.com
is a requirement for all IBO submissions.
