Don't Turnitin.com

I know that I've already done a Facebook post on this, but I feel like I must reinforce the bad effects that Turnitin.com has on the psychology and intellectual work of students around the globe.  Here's a quick list of the evils Turntin.com has committed:

  1. Procuring false charges of plagiarism
  2. Not completing its original goal of catching plagiarizers
  3. Manipulating student's original work to suit its own ends.
  4. Exhibiting student's works and otherwise breaking the copyright laws
  5. Using a lame excuse for a logo
  6. And much, much more...
