As for turnitin, it sucks big time. I just hate the feeling wondering if it's gonna find something you didn't intend to put. I've been told that you can expect up to 20% plagiarism and be okay, but I'd like to stay at 0%.
Sounds like your public speaking teach sucks balls. Mine was really laid back.

Does it look for exact phrase matching? or does it look for similar wording/writing?

0% is a good goal. I would be shooting for that too. Do you have the ability to argue your case if the website comes back saying you plagiarized?
