Turnitin compares the text of the submitted document with the text of all documents saved in the Turnitin repository. The outcome of the check, the similarity report, will be sent to you as soon as possible and if necessary, an information specialist from the Copyright Information Point will explain how to interpret it. WUR staff members or PhD candidates without access to Brightspace can send us the document by e-mail and we will use Turnitin to perform the check. If you have issues with Turnitin in Brightspace, you can refer to the user manual or contact WUR staff members without access to Brigthspace The outcome of the check is available as soon as the student has uploaded the assignment. Teachers are requested to use Turnitin in Brightspace to check students' work, for example, by creating a Brightspace Course for MSc-thesis students where students can submit their thesis. The CIP does not provide a similarity check for students. Students are requested to contact their teacher or supervisor if they would like to have their work checked.
