Turnitin.com is an excellent resource to check the content and quality of writing assignments and to avoid plagiarism. An Originality Report will be generated upon paper submission.  The Originality report does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited.
