This article explains where you can find and download your Turnitin similarity reports.
You can use Turnitin to submit assignments for grading, and also to check your work for plagiarism. Turnitin will compare the document with sources published on the Internet and highlight any similarities. Based on this similarity report, you can improve your academic writing and referencing techniques.
NOTE: The instructor may choose not to make the similarity score available to students. In that case, the similarity score will not be visible.
To view your similarity report in Turnitin:
- Navigate to Course Tools > Assignments in the navigation bar of the course.
- Click on the number of submissions for the specific job (# submission, # files). Any similarity in the document is shown by a percentage in the Turnitin® Similarity column.
