This tweet from 3 months ago is recirculating. The story hasn’t changed. Teachers are still worried about Turnitin. And institutions are still investing millions to buy back the data of their own students. The best way to frustrate this narrative is to stop using Turnitin.https://twitter.com/Jessifer/status/1103377466293473280 …

It’s frustrating as my department forces us to use it.

A good first step is to talk frankly to students about what it is, how it works, etc. But it sucks that you aren’t empowered to make critical pedagogical decisions like this.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I’m just a TA as well and as a PhD student I am forced to use it too.

Yeah, it’s absurd than even as a PhD student your institution wouldn’t start from a place of trusting you to do your own work.

It’s not even institution wide. It’s department based. So other departments do not have to do it if the head of the dept/school doesn’t want to.
