From SCC's Spring 2008 FlexCal:

"Faculty Role in Plagiarism Prevention" (pdf)
Erin Duane - (January 17, 2008)

This session placed plagiarism within the context of Information Competence and its implications for faculty and students. Discussion included how and why plagiarism occurs - focusing on preventative measures instructors can apply in their classrooms. An overview of the new faculty resource, Turnitin.com, was covered.

What Is TurnItIn.com?

Turnitin.com is a service that Solano Community College subscribes to that allows us to submit written works in digital format in order to have them checked for plagiarism. Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary defines "plagiarize" as:

to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source

to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

Solano Community College District Policy 5300 and its accompanying Procedures lists "academic dishonesty, such as cheating or plagiarism" as possible grounds for disciplinary action.
