What is a Turnitin Assignment?
Turnitin is a plagiarism detection service that identifies potentially plagiarized or improperly cited text and is integrated in Canvas. When your assignment is submitted, Turnitin automatically checks submitted work for originality and will publish as part of the assignment a report detailing findings.
How do I view my Turnitin Report?
There are two ways you can see your submission report, that is if your instructor has allowed for their students to view them.
