Toddle provides seamless integration with Turnitin. This enables students to check for similarity index in the work submitted and ensure non-plagiarised responses. Read this article to learn how you, as a student, can use Turnitin for Personal project submissions.

To begin, click on ‘Personal Projects’ on your home page.

On the landing page, you will be able to see your personal project supervisor’s name along with the status and title of your Personal project. Here, you can also view the personal project deadlines at a glance.

Furthermore, you can get a detailed view of your project with just one click on it. From the navigation panel on the left, click on ‘Report’ to submit draft and final versions of your personal project.

Once the report is uploaded, click on the ‘Check for similarity’ option to check the similarity score for the submitted work. As a first-time user, you might notice a pop-up text box for 'Turnitin End-User License Agreement', go through the agreement, and click on ‘I agree’ to continue.

Clicking again on ‘Check for similarity’ will show you the similarity percentage for the selected work. You can easily recheck these attachments for similarity by using the ‘Recheck’ option.

You might notice a colour difference between these percentages where, green indicates low similarity, yellow indicates moderate similarity and red indicates high similarity.

This is not all; Toddle generates a detailed similarity report too! Clicking on the similarity percentage will direct you to the Turnitin report where you will see the plagiarised text highlighted along with the list of overlapping sources.

If you wish to exclude the highlighted text from the similarity check, tap on the text and click on ‘Exclude this text’. Now the selected text would not be a part of the similarity check. As a result, you will notice that the similarity percentage has decreased. However, these exclusions cannot be saved and will not have an impact on the final similarity percentage that you see in the Report section of the personal project.

Additionally, you can configure the mechanics of similarity check by clicking on the settings icon on the top right. You can choose the repositories you wish to compare your work with and can also exclude certain sections of your work from the similarity check.

Please note that these settings cannot be saved and will not have an impact on the final similarity percentage that you see in the Report section of personal project.

In some cases, Turnitin may throw error messages related to file type, size, format, word count, and access-related issues. Resolve the error and resubmit your work. You can follow similar steps to check similarity on your final report submission.
