Rating by Instructors
Turnitin is no longer as
effective as in the past because
students learn how to beat the system. While the system may not be perfect, it does deter
plagiarism to some extent.
I find the Turnitin pretty user-friendly. The report generated is although complicated but in general useful.
Interpretation of
very important and not simple. The single figure originality score can be extremely misleading. we got support and information from the Library which is very helpful.
I benefit a lot from the endnote workshop. I really appreciate it! Thank you very much! Hope in the future, there will be more training like this. I hope Endnote workshops will be held more often. It is
hard to get the seat. Thank you very much! Very useful workshop! I wish I knew
the Endnote programme when I was an undergrad. It would be great if
EndNote for Mac computers
can also be offered.
