A presentation from the "Docentendag" (Lecturer day) by Tiemen Nanninga and me on Turnitin. We have used Turnitin our lectures in several courses of our Urban Environmental Management Master track to check student submissions for plagiarism, for peer-review and to give clear and transparent feedback online via rubrics and built-in comment function. Turnitin was a great help for us in assessment in group and individual assignments, so we share here our experiences and our recommendations for further improvement.
