SOSIALISASI METODE PENULISAN TUGAS AKHIR MAHASISWA SESUAI PERSYARATAN NILAI SIMILARITAS TURNITIN

Abstrak

The community service program, in the form of socializing the thesis writing method according to Turnitin's similarity score requirements, aims to guide students in understanding the thesis writing method, especially in the systematics of citation writing and reference sources through the similarity check service provided by Turnitin. Through this service program, the team transfers knowledge to students through Zoom meetings. The results of the activity show that, in general, students have a good understanding of the method of writing a thesis based on qualitative methods, but they are still lacking in understanding of the systematics of writing citations and their sources, thus being indexed as plagiarism by Turnitin and not reaching the similarity minimum score. There are four principles for writing a thesis so that it is not indexed by plagiarism, namely avoiding copy and pasting, using good scientific writing methods, avoiding the use of legal documents if they are not vital, and using paraphrasing techniques. However, the students participating in the activity showed a good interest in understanding writing problems related to plagiarism.
