We have students submit final year dissertations of up to 10,000 words
to Turnitin through Blackboard. Why would you want them to submit a
paper copy of the originality report? In my experience, to analyse these
correctly you need to look at the dynamic electronic version, using the
side by side view to ascertain the origin and nature of any matching
text. Are staff not going to look at the electronic version at all?
Through Blackboard, any instructor registered on a course can view the
originality reports, if you are concerned about access, reports can be
saved and emailed to staff for viewing.
I must say that by asking students for a paper version you are loosing a
great deal of information that should be used for correct interpretation
by staff.

Subject: Student originality report
We are about to undertake a trial of the Turnitin system with students
submitting their work electronically, and then handing in on paper a
copy of the originality report along with the printed work. Looking at
the system it seems a complete originality report may be longer than the
actual paper (probably a 5,000 word essay). I suppose we could ask for
just the coloured section at the beginning of a classic report, but that
seems open to abuse.
Has anyone else used the system in this way, and if so any hints on how
to reduce the amount of generated paper?
TIA
Paul
