Editor's Notes
- #5: Matches text exact and inexact - against content on the world wide web. If selected, papers can be added to A UNH data base. Our papers are not added to a global database. Everything is done through the Assignment Tool in Blackboard.
- #6: While it is often referred to as a anti-plagiarism tool, it is better used as a tool to help your students learn to cite properly. You have the option to allow students to see the reports. Many faculty, as a best practice, have students submit early drafts where they can see the reports then a final paper where they do not see the report.
- #7: Use the matching score as a General Guide. Look at the whole report before deciding if plagiarism is involved. Safe Assign Does Not understand CONTEXT. Pay special attention to how the source material is cited. You can have a very high match and not have plagiarism. Best practice is do do a lesson on use of Citations before assigning papers. Resources at the Writing Center are available to help your students.
- #9: Challenges: schedule the time, share project files and documents, communicate with your team, etc,.
