Well if students don't understand personal as being, well personal*, then
what hope is them to understand plagiarism? This is one point I stress when
delivering Turnitin training - it is personal, you need an instructor to
know what is going on, and if you use it outside of these terms there are
likely to be repercussions (like a match to your early material)

or professional capacity); individual, private; one's own. - OED

% I doubt it is clear enough to alert a student to the fact that they
% shouldn't put a friend's material through it on a non-commercial basis.
% There's very possibly a limiting clause under 'transfer', but that looks
% partially undermined by the subsequent clause which seems to limit to the
% restrictions on third-party usage to a commercial context.
%
% If I want to put a friend's piece of work through it, there's nothing to
% stop me. And if they are sitting in the room, they get the results without
% even considering the issue of 'transfer'.
