Account Setup
Q: Who is allowed to set up a Turnitin instructor account?

Q: How is an instructor account created?
Many accounts are created automatically. See details on the Get Started page.
Q: Is it possible to add a TA to an instructor account?
A: Yes, it is possible to add a TA to a class or classes by creating a master class. To create a master class, follow the steps for creating a class, but select “master class” instead of “standard class” from the pull down menu.
Assignments can be added to the master class homepage and are then available to all of the sections of the master course. See TAs and Master Classes for more informaiton.
Q: I followed the instructions to activate an instructor account, but can’t see the instructor tools.

Expanded Services (GradeMark and PeerMark)

Yes. As of July 2013, these services were added to the Penn State Turnitin account along with the original Originality Check report. All instructors have access to these services.
Q: How do instructors access these services?
All instructor accounts include access to all three main Turnitin services for both new accounts and previously existing accounts. No extra steps are needed beyond the initial account setup.
Q: How can instructors learn more?
The GradeMark & PeerMark page in the Get Started section has a QuickStart Guide and links to other help sources.

Yes. Once a GradeMark rubric or comment set is created in one course, it is available to all courses taught by the same instructor. Instructors can click the Libraries tab in their account to see a list of these items.
The same is true for PeerMark questions.
Q: Can GradeMark comments and rubrics be shared with other instructors?
Yes. Both tools include an export option which downloads a file. If you give that file to another instructor, he or she can upload the file into any course. Once uploaded, it will be available in the instructor’s Library.

- A large set of public Websites including Wikipedia, news sources and other informational sources
- Multiple databases of journal articles to which Turnitin has subscribed
- A repository of previously submitted documents
- English and non-English content
Q: What copyright and privacy protections are in place for student assignments?
There is very limited instructor and student access to materials uploaded into Turnitin outside a particular class. If a report identifies a match in a student assignment, the instructor must contact the second instructor to request access to the source.
Students still retain all rights to publish and use their work as they see fit. Further, any student can request that a paper be removed from the database. Requests should be sent from instructors to IT Service Desk for security purposes.
Finally instructors can block all papers from being entered into the repository in the Assignment Options area if he or she desires.

A: Yes. First, you would need to click on the color box indicating the percentage of copied material in the paper. While viewing the Originality Report, click on the link to the copied material and the text from the original source will be displayed.
Q: The Originality Report indicates that some text comes from another paper in the Turnitin database. How can instructors access this paper?
A: The source will include a link to contact the instructor of the other paper. For privacy reasons, only the instructor can grant access to the paper. If you need additional assistance, please contact IT Service Desk.
Q: Is there a minimum score to indicate plagiarism in the Originality report?
A: Turnitin does not determine if cheating has occurred. After papers are submitted, the Turnitin system creates an Originality Report for each file. The Originality Report only indicates if there is copied text. The instructor must still evaluate each assignment submission to determine whether the copied material has been cited correctly or not.
If an instructor suspects that an infraction has occurred, it is recommended that a meeting with the student be held first before beginning any official procedures. Instructors can also consult with their department or college for additional guidance.
Q: How does an instructor give students access to their Originality Reports?
A: This can be done by editing the settings for a particular assignment to allow students to view Originality Reports in the Assignment Options area.
Q: How is plagiarism defined at Penn State?
A: Plagiarism is the act of stating or implying that another person’s work is your own. For more information see TLT’s Plagiarism site, specifically Information for Faculty. Instructors should consider how they will determine whether an apparent instance of plagiarism is accidental or intentional, what percentage of plagiarism (either accidental or intentional) will be tolerated, and what the consequences will be. These criteria may vary from course to course and assignment to assignment.
