Our Customers Have Spoken

"JISC are delighted with the progress made throughout this project, especially the way in which embedded technology [Turnitin WriteCycle] has acted as a catalyst for pedagogic development with improvements in learning and assessment now being the primary outcome of the project [PlagiarismAdvice.Org]."
Norman Wiseman
JISC Executive
Head of Services and Outreach



"With GradeMark's recent improvements, correcting and giving feedback is a snap. It is easy to reduce your grading time by up to 30% compared to pen and paper. The clipboard and rubric generator alone can improve grading efficiency dramatically... GradeMark almost makes me look forward to marking!"
Professor James Papple
Brock University



"I have used Turnitin.com's scan for plagiarized material for several years now, and it has completely changed the intellectual authenticity, honesty, and precision in my students' research writing... Instructors who do not have access to this program often come to me, asking me to run a scan on a paper they believe to be plagiarized. A school-wide subscription to Turnitin.com would raise the level of our students' work several levels."
Dr. Dorothy Bushnell
Merced College
