Display Similarity Reports to Students

Choose whether students will be able to see their own originality reports. (If ‘No’ is selected only markers will ever see the report.)

When should the file be submitted to Turnitin?

You cannot change this setting.

Allow submission of any file type?

If this is set to ‘yes’, students will be able to submit files in formats that are not supported by Turnitin. There submissions will be stored but they may not receive an originality report. For more on supported file types see our FAQ.

Store Student Papers

Choose whether or not submissions for this assignment should be added to the Turnitin database for future reference. For more on how the repository is used see our FAQ.

Check against stored student papers

Choose whether to compare submissions to the dataset of student-created work on Turnitin. If you find a match to student work on another course or at another university Turnitin will give you the option to send a request to see these materials, which are otherwise hidden.

Check against internet

Choose whether to compare submissions to Turnitin’s dataset of material found on the internet (eg Wikipedia)

Check against journals, periodicals, and publications

Report Generation Speed

Generate reports immediately (students cannot resubmit)

An originality report will only be generated for the first file a student submits for an assignment.

Generate reports immediately (students can resubmit until due date)

Originality reports will be generated for every draft a student submits, overwriting each time. After the third submission there will be a delay of 24 hours between generation of reports.

Generate reports on due date (students can resubmit until due date)

An originality report will only be generated for the final file a student submits for an assignment.

Exclude Bibliography

Set Turnitin not to display similarity count for reference and bibliography sections of student work. (Markers can re-enable this on individual reports.)

Exclude Quoted Material

Set Turnitin not to display similarity count for text wrapped in quotation marks. (Markers can re-enable this on individual reports.)

Exclude Small Matches

If set to ‘percent’ or ‘words’, choose not to display sources where similarity falls below a certain threshold. For more on how small matches work see our FAQ.

Exclusion Value

Specify the similarity threshold for excluding small matches by percentage or word count.
