Interpreting A Turnitin Feedback Report

Abstract

Summary of Teaching & Learning Context Working to support academic writing skills across the whole university, an instructional video on how to use the information presented in a Turnitin feedback report was developed. Students are often asked to review their work for possible plagiarism. However, anecdotal evidence suggested that students do not always know how this can be achieved. The issue of identifying text similarity matches has been addressed by adding a non-repository Turnitin upload practice link on the Academic Writing Skills Moodle resource page. Students can use this link to generate a feedback report on a draft of an assignment they are writing prior to submitting the assignment for their module.
