Sometimes you want to check an assignment for plagiarism without the student submitting it themselves. Turnitin offers a Quick Submit feature. The article below explains how you can use your own workspace to check a document for similarity with other works.
These submissions:
- are intended exclusively for self-checking
- are not stored in the Turnitin database
- have no impact on future official submissions
- are removed over time by Brightspace Functional Management
