Writable's Originality Check (powered by Turnitin SimCheck) allows teachers to evaluate student writing for similarities. Teachers can also choose to enable or disable Originality Check for individual students.

  1. Navigate to 'My Assignments', and click on the assignment you want to check.

  2. Next, select a class.

  3. The Student Dashboard will open up. From here, navigate to the Similarity column. The percentage you see is the percentage of the student submission that is similar to another source. Click on a percentage to view the Originality Check report.

  4. The report will highlight any parts of the student’s writing that could have been plagiarized from a source. It will also generate a percentage for overall similarity and will list any source that was likely used.
