Psychology 101 for five years in a row, some “oldies” with new<br />
names are likely <strong>to</strong> surface. Also, if a <strong>to</strong>pic is very broad -- a paper<br />
on anything in his<strong>to</strong>ry -- it is easy <strong>to</strong> find something <strong>to</strong> submit that<br />
may not be original or intended for that course.<br />
Plagiarism Detection Website<br />
FSU instruc<strong>to</strong>rs have access <strong>to</strong> the plagiarism detection site<br />
Turnitin.com. This text-matching service provides resources on<br />
developing <strong>to</strong>pics and assignments that encourage and guide<br />
students in producing papers that are intellectually honest, original<br />
in thought, and clear in expression. Turnitin helps instruc<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
create a culture of adherence <strong>to</strong> the University’s standards for<br />
intellectual honesty. It also reviews students’ papers for matches<br />
with Internet materials and with thousands of student papers in its<br />
database, and returns an Originality Report <strong>to</strong> instruc<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
You will need <strong>to</strong> inform students that you will be using such a<br />
service. Include a statement on your course site/syllabus, such as,<br />
“In this course, students will submit papers through the Blackboard<br />
website <strong>to</strong> the instruc<strong>to</strong>r. Student papers will then be submitted <strong>to</strong><br />
Turnitin.com for an Originality Report. Papers with low originality<br />
scores will receive further investigation according <strong>to</strong> departmental<br />
procedures.”<br />
Questions <strong>to</strong> consider when using a plagiarism detection <strong>to</strong>ol:<br />
• What will be your syllabus/course website statement informing<br />
students about your use of Turnitin.com<br />
• Will you permit students <strong>to</strong> see their Originality Reports<br />
• Will students submit hard copies as well<br />
• What will be your threshold for incorrect citations<br />
• What procedures will be followed if you determine that a paper<br />
has been plagiarized<br />
• How will you use Turnitin <strong>to</strong> educate students about<br />
plagiarism<br />

Why add writing assignments<br />
Your students will learn far more if you add a writing requirement <strong>to</strong><br />
your course. Writing is a form of thinking, whatever the subject <strong>to</strong><br />
be learned, because writing is actually reasoning our way <strong>to</strong> what it<br />
means. Writing across curriculum is a method of getting students<br />
<strong>to</strong> learn a discipline that appears alien and forbidding (e.g., science<br />
