For Students:
Students can check their own work in Turnitin using the Draft Coach feature, a plug in for MS Word online. Information on using Draft Coach is available here.
Turnitin compares student work to content available on the internet, in article databases, and in previously submitted student papers and produces a similarity report that identifies how much of a student's work is similar to works found elsewhere.
Turnitin also indicates how much of a student paper was created by AI tools such as ChatGPT.
For Faculty:
Faculty can enable Turnitin in Canvas for specific assignments and can submit an individual student's assignment to check for originality.
