Social, Ethical, and Legal Issues (Turnitin)

In this assignment, I learned a lot of essential information. Doing this assignment wasn't neccessarily fun, but it allowed me to gain a lot of insight. This assignment was about gender bias. I got my original information from various of websites. However, when I revised the assignment, I changed a lot of stuff. At first we had to look up a lot of information and just copy and paste it. However, we had to revise that information and put it into our words. This assignment can be used in many different ways in the classroom. One way it can be used is to keep students from cheating on assignments. Alot of students think they can get away plagarism and teachers not know it. This is a good way to catch students. Also, they can use it as a spell check. Once you insert your paper onT, they give you a grademark. The grademark section tells you any grammar and spelling error. This way students can edit their paper before finally turnin it in. This tool is really good in many ways.
            Turnitin.com provides a lot of service. One of the things I learned from doing this assignment is that if a student really cheated or even attemted to, this website would catch it. I can also use this for my assignments and projects. I can make sure that my assignments are not plagarised. This is a way for me to check my spelling and punctuation. I had a lot of problems with this assignment because it was not self-explanatory. Finding information on the A lot of the questions had no distinct answer. The assignment itself wasn't hard finding the information was hard.  However, I searched hard and eventually found the answers. I used standard one because this assignment allowed me to explore web tools and programs.
