I agree that they can help, but these tools are not a fool-proof way to stop plagiarism and cheating. For example, you can have your citations and references correct, but the software will still detect some of the originality issues on a paper. I have had this happen in Turnitin. This is where the instructor has to judge on his or her own what % of originality is exceptable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955243026241103286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519329387538918110.post-64062755388787737702015-06-14T12:39:01.365-07:002015-06-14T12:39:01.365-07:00Keisha,

I also cited Dr.Pratt, and I agreed with his notion of creating assessments that are challenging and also allowing students to consult with one another during testing as they would in the real world. I passionately believe in arming learners with knowledge and experiences that can be applied in the real world. In my opinion, learning something in theory is not always as simple or cut and dry when applying it in a real world setting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
