Couch professors: do you use that Turnitin software for submitted papers? it checks for plagiarism. It is making me bonkers. I have submitted my current paper 3 times trying to get the percentage down. The problem is, it is counting as plagiarism things that are required to be part of my answers like "The Cascadian Subduction Zone" and the "San Andreas Fault Zone" and the names of the tectonic plates, and other things that if I changed the wording, would make my answers wrong. Yet it counts them as plagiarism. I sent an email to my prof about it because it is making me so nervous.
