Already noticing some issues in one or two Employer submissions. If you get a zero on the completed assignment, review your feedback to see how to resubmit. If it’s plagiarism, here are some tools to help.
There are ALWAYS students who think they understand but end up inadvertently plagiarizing others’ works. I do let students fix the issue if it’s caught early enough in the semester. But, when it continues, isn’t fixed, or is simply too late to fix, those students do get academic sanctions and may have to take this class again.
You can take a quiz to help:
I also strongly encourage you to review Bailey (2017) on why appropriate citations are important and the Plagiarism Spectrum from TurnItIn (2016).
You can also review Bb’s help on SafeAssign for students. There is information on getting started, submitting in SafeAssign, reading the Originality report, accessibility, and additional help on avoiding plagiarism.
Also, there is general writing and plagiarism help from the university. As of Fall 2021, the Writing Center is still offering in-person and online appointments. Or, you can go to your student resources area of WorkDay, I think that is how you access TigerTracks now. Once you are there, you should see a link for SmartThinking, a 24/7 tutorial service paid for by the university.
Finally, if you are reviewing this after I noticed you plagiarized an assignment, you need to resubmit. Here is Bb’s help on that:
- “In the Original Course View … a Start New function appears on the Review Submission History page. Select the assignment link in your course to access the Review Submission History page.”
If you need further clarification on how to use any sources for any assignment, please let me know.

WARNING! Using software that presents a readable but false document image (by adjusting document kerning (whitespace) and/or concentration of words, paragraphs and sentences) to defeat SafeAssign and Turn-It-In textual analysis is completely unacceptable. Such acts will be viewed as deliberate and willful cheating, and be subject to the university’s full disciplinary measures, up to an including removal of grades, expulsion from the course, your degree and the university. This software obfuscation technique is how many “coursework/essay mills” deliver on their promise of low plagiarism scores but their techniques are detectable, so just don’t take the risk – do work YOU can be proud of, not that you pay for and feel like a fraud about later.
