Harvard Referencing Case

Harvard referencing:

In the workplace or in an organisation:

For the cohesion to happen in any workplace individuals or employees have to be able to communicate by an effective means. Therefore such methods of using scholarly articles for reference are used to make others understand the point of referencing, in both written and through presentations if someone lacks the knowledge, one can look it to understand the argument or the basis for learning.

Good practice of referencing within any document needs to show a clear and concise understanding of the read or text set to under the problem or argument at hand. Any methods or quotation or anything which has been developed from any one else has to be reference and cannot be classed as one's own work. Otherwise this means an individual has been plagiarising other work and trying to take credit for the work of another.

Plagiarism:

Currently I work in the ESL English teacher market, a lot of the material in this market is subject to exceptional plagiarism as there is only so many times you can actually re-write the material in certain different ways (Plagiarism, 2012).

To define plagiarism in any academic line of work it simply implies taking another work and transposing it or changing the words around and then simply trying to say that you made and came up with in your own words (Today, 2012). This can be very difficult prove in some case as not one person at any time can say that they own any particular words in any one case (Kid's Health, 2012). As a university lecturer and also as a teacher it's my job to find these errors and try to get students to admit their guilt.

Turnitin:

Turnitin is a piece of software which is used among many institutions in the western world who use it to scan documents posted by students to find the errors or possible areas of plagiarism to mistakes in any given document (Essex, 2012).

This piece of software in many cases is linked to databases of scholarly information to any other documents which have been written by students and can save professors and universities time in marking these documents. However Turnitin is limited in some aspects of its creators and learning abilities. I have been deemed in the past for plagiarism on documents but without my knowledge I was marked down by 20% because of it. After further investigation I found out that a student the previous year had written similar and they were from a Brazilian university. Therefore I believe threat Turnitin is good in some aspects but still has flawrs in many areas of is concept of design.

The main considerations which should talked and discussed are regarding Turnitin and cons regarding its use. From what I have researched and read on the internet there are many flaws regarding this
