Originality / plagiarism – you have the opportunity to check drafts:
Your online submission – into the Turnitin system – generates an originality report for the examiners highlighting any passages apparently copied or unoriginal.
You have the opportunity to check a draft of your essay in Turnitin to help you avoid plagiarism: you are strongly encouraged to do this, leaving yourself enough time to make any necessary revisions before final submission. (The system can sometimes take a day to generate a report.) You do this in the Blackboard module site, through the “Assignments and Turnitin” tab, using the “DRAFT essay” assignment. This will open one month before the submission deadline (and remains open after the deadline for students with extensions). You can check several drafts. Guidance on interpreting Turnitin results is in the Programme Handbook: you are advised to read this before looking at the report on your essay. Reading the Turnitin report and revising your draft essay is your responsibility; staff cannot be asked to read the report or advise on it.
Further guidance on plagiarism, and how to avoid it, can be found in your Programme Handbook and in the Law School’s Legal Skills: a Guide.
