I was required to use TurnItIn at one point. I tried testing it by uploading the course notes. It reported that the material was seventy-something plagiarised. I was quite surprised by that (I wrote them and didn’t remember plagiarising). It turned out that the source that it found was the exact same (bit-for-bit identical) file on the course website.

Quite how it could compare two identical PDFs and say that they are less than 80% identical, I have no idea. I decided after that to assume the entire thing was snake oil.
