Turnitin will generate an Originality Score. This is a percentage that reflects how much of your assignment is found in other sources. The Score comes with a detailed report of which phrases are duplicated (without quotation marks) and from which sources. Checking this report and correcting any direct quotations with appropriate citations will ensure that you are not committing Academic Misconduct and will not be penalised for plagiarism.

Turnitin is a plagiarism detection software designed to uphold academic integrity. When you submit to an assignment through Moodle you will receive an Originality Score, and a report which highlights any text duplicated from other sources without quotation marks. This will help you and your markers ensure you have not improperly used other people’s words.

You'll find the online forms in the menu at the top of the page under "Forms". If the menu does not appear at the top of the page, scroll right down to the bottom to the grey footer instead.

The assessment cover sheet can be found in the blue menu at the top of the page under "Resources", or in any of your units, underneath the "Assessments" banner.

It should look something like this:

Click on the link "Assessment Resources" and a pop-up will appear where you can download the files.

If you'd like to see the forum rubric in your forums, you can click on the button displayed in the screenshot below. You can see it before and after your marker applies a grade!
