How to Allow Students to Resubmit
When creating a Turnitin assignment, you can enable student resubmissions by updating the Similarity Report settings:
- Navigate to your Space and click on the Assignments tile.
- Click the Turnitin assignment you want to edit.
- In the top right corner of the Submissions List, select Open in Turnitin.
- You'll be taken to Turnitin's Assignment Inbox. Click on the Settings icon (top right).
- Select Optional Settings.
- Under Similiarity Report, open the Generate Similarity Reports for student submissions dropdown.
- Choose one of the following options:
- Generate reports immediately (students can resubmit until due date): After 3 resubmissions, reports generate after 24 hours, or
- Generate reports on due date (students can resubmit until due date).
- Click Submit at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
Note
- If you do not wish to enable the resubmission option for everyone, but a student has uploaded an incorrect file or needs to resubmit for any reason, you can delete their submission. As long as the assignment is still open, this will allow them to upload a new file.
- The students cannot make a resubmission after the due date.
- Selecting either of these resubmit options will allow students to resubmit. The only difference is whether students will be able to see their similarity report as soon as they've submitted, or whether they will have to wait until the assignment closes.
- Once the resubmission has been made, the time stamp with the date and time is updated to when the new file has been resubmitted.
- If you wish to enable students to view the similarity report, you will also need to tick the following box.:
