Turnitin is a plagiarism checker and lecturers can choose between 2 different options when requesting students check their assignments for plagiarism.

1. Turnitin-within StudyDesk: With this option, the plagiarism checking is automatically done when you submit your assignment.  You may not see any reference to Turnitin until after the assignment is uploaded.
    

   An account is automatically created for you, so you don't need to create an account.

2. Turnitin-Website: This is when you are asked to visit the Turnitin website and submit your assignment for checking, obtain an Originality report and upload this report with your assignment via the StudyDesk.
