hi guys, turnitin.com is a plagerism detector for university and college student assignments, teachers use them to see if we copy/paste internet stuff on our homeowrk.

my question is does this website detect any non-internet materials such as a computer book wrote in 2001?

To my knowledge no it does not. It works a lot like a search bot (like google). So anything that google (or anything else) finds Turnitin.com will also find.


And don't forget.... Plagiarism is bad :lol:

So just switch the wording around a bit and it wont pick it up?

I believe they design it so it is smart enough to know if you just switch the wording around.

I fucking despise plagarists.

By their very nature and because of what they do, it makes them worse than the rest of the scum on the earth.

Lamers. Dickriders. Sheep. None of these compare to someone who is willing to steal someone else's hard work.
