Turnitin & Grademark for Faculty
As an instructor for University of Massachusetts Global, you may teach a course that includes a Signature Assignment.  You will know there is a Signature Assignment in the course you are teaching because it will be noted in the syllabus. 

As a best practice to promote academic integrity, all Signature Assignments for the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business and Professional Studies are submitted as Turnitin assignments. Turnitin provides UMass Global the ability to collect learning outcomes data to improve student learning and educational effectiveness. 

Once a Signature Assignment is submitted to turnitin.com, an originality report will be generated, which provides a summary of matching or highly similar text found in a submitted paper.
