The PDF guides on this page explain how to submit a Turnitin assignment, view an originality / similarity report, and access feedback from your lecturer through Turnitin. 

Note that unit coordinators will determine whether originality / similarity reports are made visible to students. 

Text that matches another source is highlighted and identified with a number. There's no set percentage 'cut-off' for similarity - the similarity score just indicates where your work matches text from other sources, and a text match does not necessarily signal plagiarism. For example, indented quotations, citations and your bibliography may appear as text matches, but it doesn't mean you need to change them.

Conversely, a lack of matches does not in itself confirm that no academic misconduct has occurred.​ For more information on what constitutes academic misconduct and for guidance on how to avoid it, see the Current Students academic conduct webpage and the STUDYSmarter Avoiding Academic Misconduct guide. 

For guidance on how to reference, see the University Library referencing guides or make an appointment via the Book a Librarian service for expert advice from librarians. 

The STUDYSmarter website also has resources to help you with avoiding plagiarism.

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process and students are entitled to feedback on all assessed work. Under the University Policy on: Assessment, feedback on assessments submitted on time will be made available to students at least one week before the next assessment in the unit is due, or no more than 15 University working days after submission, whichever is sooner.

Feedback can take a variety of forms; it may consist of short in-line comments next to specific sections of your assessment, or a final explanatory comment. Your unit coordinator may use an annotated rubric to provide feedback, which you may need to open separately to your submitted assessment. The guide below explains how to access your feedback and marks through Turnitin.
