@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich It hits at 26%. Most of what's in here is just direct quotations from sources (though not cited), but it looks like a chunk was lifted from this website: isi.org/intercollegiat… And a little from Wikipedia too.
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich Another little chunk from here: tutorsonspot.com/questions/answ…
Also a lot of quoting from (primary) sources with quotation marks, apparently. Tsk tsk.

@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich Looks like another sentence lifted from here: ww.articlevprojecttorestoreliberty.com/the-new-federa…
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich A few sentences from a student paper, which I can't access. It does make me wonder where they found their ghost writers...
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich A little bit from here: achw.org/html/federer.h…
And here: heritage.org/research/featu… (which is in the Turn It In database, but no longer online)

@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich An entire paragraph, nearly word-for-word, from here: heritage.org/civil-society/…
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich This is why you include citations, kids.
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich Just wanted to add, that if I had more time, I bet a lot more of this would show up in other places, since Turn It In is actually pretty notorious for missing a lot.
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich Um, so it looks like pretty much all of the discussion questions at the end were taken from other sources, word for word. Something that was posted on Inside Higher Ed, but it's not giving me the exact link.
Anyone recognize their words in here?

@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich OH, looks like it's from this article, a review of Derek Bok's book:

@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich To be clear, the direct quotation is mostly of the PRIMARY sources, which makes a lot of sense! That's what usually shows up on a TurnItIn report.
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich My husband points out that it's much more likely that the writers and the students were borrowing from the same source.
@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich Also, a reminder, thanks to @KellyODonn: self-plagiarism is still plagiarism!
All you need to do is cite properly, guys! Please, we historians are begging you!

@DeGolierThomas @jackiantonovich @KellyODonn To clarify: looks like some of the authors of the report are quoting themselves, including the Inside Higher Ed piece. I didn't catch that on the first glance (and I really didn't think this thing would take off like this, or I would have gone through the results more carefully).
