Turnitin Submissions

Turnitin

All coursework at undergraduate level is submitted via Turnitin.  

Turnitin is text matching, electronic submission and  feedback software. It is used in the University of Sheffield for Originality checking and as part of something called Electronic Managementof Assessment (EMA). 

Turnitin allows you to submit your work electronically. You can submit from any desktop or laptop computer whether on or off campus. The software can then look to see if text in the submission has any matches to text, both online and in its extensive essay bank.   

It is used as an aide to plagiarism detection but it cannot detect plagiarism itself. To ascertain whether plagiarism has occurred, Turnitin's Originality Report must be interrogated by an appropriate staff member.

At the University of Sheffield, Turnitin is normally used within a Blackboard course.  

NB. Students must attach a formal submission sheet to all their coursework and save their work using the approved filename (eg. module code and your registration number).  Failure to submit in the department's approved format will result in an automatic one mark penalty.
