    Hi
    So contacted my lecturer, the course leader, I asked him was there a turnitin open for the thesis and he just said no it is not used for the thesis!!

    Does this mean that UCC dont check thesis for plagarism,find that strange!!

    A thesis is usually in the supervisor's area of special interest and there is usually only a fairly limited amount of sources out there. So, you can detect plagiarism a mile off without software.

    In more obscure areas, it'd be almost impossible to plagiarise !
