Turnitin For Students
How to access Turnitin as a student: Access Turnitin by submitting a paper from within your Managebac assignment. This will allow you to view your Similarity Report if your teacher has enabled these settings
Ask your teacher if you are allowed to submit a draft and receive a Similarity Report that shows matches of text that may be plagiarism, your teacher needs to allow resubmissions in the settings. Be sure to clarify with your teacher if you are allowed to resubmit your paper and if you are allowed to view your similarity report before you submit the final draft.
If your teacher allows you to submit a draft of your paper before you submit your final and view the similarity report then you may check your writing for plagiarism by going over the Similarity Report. It is important to note that a high Similarity Score does NOT necessarily mean your writing is plagiarized. The program checks for writing that matches other simliar writing and that gets flagged for review. Please see this important article Interpreting the Simliarty Score
