      <\/a>Overview of the Turnitin Assignment Copy Process:<\/h5>\n
        \n
      1. Copy the old assignment with Content and Settings<\/strong> (See below).<\/li>\n
      2. Due date etc. will need to be updated during the copy process. You mustn\u2019t forget to update these dates<\/strong> (the steps to do this are included in the assignment copying process below).<\/li>\n
      3. It is recommended to only copy previous Turnitin assignments that have the correct configuration settings applied. Configuration settings include items such as \u2018Exclude bibliographic materials\u2019, \u2018Exclude quoted materials\u2019 and \u2018Exclude small sources\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The following are the default Turnitin configuration settings although, these should be reviewed and configured by the module leader as appropriate to their own needs. Including an example below of what we believe are the most appropriate settings.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

        The above \u2018default<\/strong>\u2019 settings match those configured in the \u2018Check your work for plagiarism<\/strong>\u2019 Blackboard organisation that students can use to submit to check the Turnitin score that their assessment will receive before summative submission.<\/p>\n

        If you are unsure we recommend these settings for your Turnitin assignment<\/p>\n

        These settings ensure that Turnitin ignores quoted material and bibliographic content and will ensure any student submission will generate the same similarity score as it does in the \u2018Check your Work for Plagiarism<\/strong>\u2019 tool.<\/p>\n

        *NOTE <\/strong>The \u2018copy\u2019 process will include the option to duplicate any of your previously created assignments for all your Blackboard modules on either old or new Blackboard.<\/p>\n

        We appreciate that this may be confusing and have reported it as an issue to Turnitin. \u00a0Steps are included below that offer support in selecting the correct assignment (please refer to the filter results<\/u><\/a> section).<\/p>\n

        <\/a>Turnitin Assignment Example Uses<\/strong><\/h5>\n

        Assignment Copy is a feature that makes it easier for module leaders to copy an assignment and its setups from previous modules for use in new modules.<\/p>\n

        Also, this feature is not limited to the module leader who created the original assignment. Any module staff that were associated with the assignment will be able to locate it for copying into a new module.<\/p>\n

        For example, this tool makes it easy to:<\/p>\n
