Turnitin is an online assignment submission service that Majan College subscribes to. It provides 2 key benefits to us:
- It compares any submission to hundreds of thousands of online sources, essay banks
and other student submissions. This allows it to assign the submission a "similarity score”. This helps lecturers to ensure none of your fellow students are unfairly benefiting by passing off someone else's work as their own. - It provides an online marking system called Grademark. Lecturers can use this to provide feedback to you. Feedback delivered through
grademark is clear and easy to understand. It appears on your document next to the section they are feeding back to you about.
