We also learnt about plagiarism, the lecture told us that plagiarism is forbidden for us to make any assignment or work that we do, plagiarism itself is an idea, word, image or creative expression of others people and make it as your own . The lecture knows if us do plagiarism or not by using an app that allows the user to see if the assignment that we wrote is plagiarism or not, the app called Turnitin, so the user just simply copy their work to this app any just wait for a couple minutes, Turnitin will determine either it plagiarism or not. The lecture gave us example of using Turnitin. It show us the percentage of plagiarism, that the writer had wrote, not just that, Turnitin provide with under line or highlight the line that match with the website that writer copying. Luckly UTM JB provide this app for student so we don’t have to pay the app, just create an account by using our email that already provided by UTM JB. This help us when ever we what to make an essay for assignment or even thesis, create your own assignment is more appreciate rather than copy paste from google or your friends. At 4 o’clock the class was over and we went back to our dorms because there are no subject more on that day.
