Turnitin

Turnitin is a cloud-based service for similarity checking, online grading, and peer review. George Fox University has obtained a license to use their integrated services through our Canvas Online Learning Management System. As such, this service can only be accessed for assignments structured on your Canvas course site.

The purpose of this service is to assist students in learning to avoid plagiarism and to provide appropriate citations for the sources they utilize in their assignments. By turning on the Turnitin settings in an assignment, forum, or workshop activity, student work is instantly checked for potential citation issues. A similarity report is generated in a matter of seconds that can guide the student in where to remove plagiarized elements or create proper citations. When a student submits a final draft of a paper, his or her overall Turnitin score must be below 10% or risk a failing grade. For more information, click here.
