 Turnitin

Some assignments on Canvas have Turnitin automatically enabled. We strongly ask you to use Turnitin to avoid plagiarism.

Turnitin is a tool that will give you a similarity score, indicating if you have been plagiarizing text. More guidance on Turnitin can be found here: https://support.canvas.fsu.edu/kb/article/1206-students-how-do-i-view-turnitin-results-for-my-submission/ (Links to an external site.)

Copying and pasting text without using quotes and citing the source is considered plagiarism. Simply editing a few words in a sentence is also plagiarism. Use your own words to express what you learned.

Final submissions with plagiarized text will be flagged as academic integrity violations. Please take the time to take advantage of Turnitin to make sure that your submission adheres to CMU’s policy on AIV: https://www.cmu.edu/policies/student-and-student-life/academic-integrity.html
