5 Guides Select? to see guides to plagiarism report. Sources used and not used Notice that in the top of the analysis report you can find sources used or not used in the result. Click the + at Alternative sources. The bars to the left of the source indicate the degree of similarity. You can tick the sources on and off to see which parts concur with the different sources. Warnings Please note if there is a warning about the assignment. This could reflect that unusual characters are used in the assignment, which could mean that space characters have been replaced with invisible characters as an attempt to cheat the plagiarism control. This is especially a problem with PDF files. On the other hand, this may also be due to the use of a lot of Greek letters and such. If you are in doubt, ask the students to submit e.g. a Word version instead of the PDF version. 5

6 How does it look for the students? Note! You cannot test URKUND using Student View. The students click Submit Assignment as usual. The student see the normal window with File upload as the front tab. The only difference is that they have to tick off that the assignment is their own work before handing in. There can be several other tabs, as you see, like Google Doc and Office 365. No matter which tab the students choose, they will all upload to URKUND. If the students go back to the assignment after handing in they can scroll a bit down and find a link to Submission Details. In Submission Details they can see the percentage of similarity and if they click on the percentage they can see the similarity report, if you have allowed them to see the report. 6
