• How does Turnitin work?
– Compares your paper to millions of sources in its repository
– Results in an Originality Report with an originality percentage
– You must hand in a printed copy of the Originality Report with
your assignment
– Submit your assignment early so Turnitin has time to compile the
report (can take anywhere from 15 minutes – 2 days)

16. If your Originality Report is not ready immediately, check back
in 10-15 minutes (or longer!). Go back to the Turnitin folder in
the Course Documents section and click on View/Complete.
