There has been discussion here recently about the possibility of allowing students access to Turnitin prior to final submission of their assignments. The argument is that this would allow them to check that they have not plagiarised and help them to understand more fully what constitutes plagiarism.
I am not in favour of this as I feel it will lead to students spending precious time in reducing their similarity score rather than in fine tuning their writing.
I would be grateful on your thoughts and it would be interesting to find out what happens at other HEIs.
Thanks in advance and best wishes
