That is standard practice here (at least for some teachers); students
are encouraged to do that as part of the writing process. It makes the
students feel much less defensive and confused. (Many of them still
don't "get" what real comprehension of reading & resesarch is, sadly...
but at least they don't have to just hope they're not plagiarizing.)

Speaking of turnitin, I would encourage you to have students submit the
=
papers themselves as a draft check. Then they can see how their papers
are =
discovered, and can work to correct them. An eye-opening exercise.

The whole program sadded me - especially with the school in which the
students signed the honor code. As a society we seem to be heading =
downhill
rapidly. I agree with the students who spoke of the former President,
=
Enron
and other corruptions. A sad story indeed. We just subscribed to
turnitin.com and will begin its use with the next assignment. I am
afraid =
we
are going to be shocked by the results - we tend, as a private
Catholic
school, to believe we are isolated from the secular concerns of
society.
