Turnitin in Canvas

Turnitin does not determine whether a paper has or has not been plagiarized. Instead, Turnitin generates a Similarity Report that provides a summary of the matching text found in a submitted paper or document.

• Turnitin provides tools to help instructors locate potential sources of plagiarism, or text which may have been incorrectly cited
• Instructors interpret the data and deem what is a "good" or "bad" score
