Turnitin Similarity Score

Turnitin promotes academic integrity by checking that your assignments are your own work and that you have acknowledged the work and ideas used from other sources. An originality report is generated by scanning your work and comparing the text against sources in its database. The report shows where matches have been found with an overall percentage of how much of the text is original. Your submitted assignment is also added to the database to reduce plagiarism.

A higher percentage does not mean that you will automatically have marks deducted, but instead prompts your marker to take a closer look to ensure that your submission meets RMIT's standards of academic integrity. If it is found that academic integrity has been compromised, you may be given a penalty of up to 20% or may be called before an academic misconduct hearing. So please ensure that you do not compromise academic integrity when you complete your Assignment 3.
