Thanks all for the input. Paul Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 19:51:42 +0100 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Turnitin To: [log in to unmask] Dear Paul, The program doesn't. It's just a tool that aids a human being who knows the field to do the actual investigation into a possible plagiarism case. (I speak as a chair of exams who has used it a lot.)

How does the program differentiate between cliche phrases and often entextualized discourse and actual plagiarism? What portion of the final score is actual plagiarism?
