Many instructors use TurnItIn (TII) as a way to check for plagiarism, but it can be used for so much more. By allowing the students to submit their draft multiple times, they can learn as they refine their paper. Students can see areas that they should have cited and go back and add the citation for the final draft. This practice also encourages students to write their papers earlier and fosters a situation where they actually read their own work before turning in the final draft (oh my, what a concept).
