At M-A we emphasize academic integrity. Plagiarism, or copying others work without giving credit, is unethical and against the rules of the Sequoia District and the M-A community. Turnitin is used to emphasize the importance of doing original work and giving credit for the words and ideas of others.

Most of your teachers will provide access to Turnitin through Canvas.
