Turnitin... has completely changed the intellectual authenticity, honesty, and precision in my students' research writing. - Dr. Dorothy Bushnell, Merced College

Our Customers Have Spoken

"Turnitin is a vital ingredient in my social policy course, and has been for more than a decade. From the first, it has provided me an assurance that my students are doing original work--something that could rarely be guaranteed in the past. And it has also helped identify those students who genuinely misunderstand the idea of academic integrity, so they can be assisted. An indispensable aide to proper scholarship."
-Paul Terrell
Professor of Social Welfare
University of California, Berkeley



"I used to spend hours on Google searching for unusual wording when I suspected that the paper was not written by the student. Now, I can search quickly with Turnitin!"
-Jenny Edwards
Fielding Graduate University



"Turnitin serves as an effective and meaningful tool for us to fulfill our mission: making sure students develop the ability to communicate effectively by applying information and technology to think critically, and acquire skills for the future. Every school or college should have this resource."
-Mr. Dana Lynch
Assistant Principal of Curriculum,
Instruction & Guidance
Brea Olinda High School



"Turnitin has become synonymous with writing in my classroom."
-Renee Bangerter
Assistant Professor
Salt Lake Community College
