My uni uses TurnitIn to scan all assignments; it provides a report with the word count in it to the grader.
My pet peeve is we still have to use double-spaced lines even though I haven't had an assignment printed and marked up in over 10 years.
- jacobolus 8y ago> I haven't had an assignment printed and marked up in over 10 years. That’s unfortunate. In my experience editing/commentary done on a paper copy is of noticeably higher quality (both when I am reading someone else’s work, and soliciting feedback). It’s not entirely clear why... maybe paper and pen puts the reader in the right frame of mind?

- zwayhowder 8y agoThis is true. I've had a number of digital comments over the years that start: Zwayhowder, And end because enter submits the comment not starting a new line :/
- xattt 8y agoI’m trying to understand whether Grammarly and TurnItIn have the same goals in mind.
- zwayhowder 8y agoTurnItIn is about plagiarism. Grammarly is about writing well. TurnItIn won't tell you your using the wrong you're in yore sentence about the days of yaw. I hope you appreciate how badly I've affected my Grammarly stats with this example. Actually, Grammarly missed all the wrong words. I might uninstall it.
