Excluding task sheet from TurnItIn

[NathanODONNELL]

I am trialling marking assessments within Canvas and this requires me to annotate a task sheet as well. I have asked students to upload a task sheet in addition to their assessment but it is making them all appear to have high similarity. Is there a way to upload a task sheet to TurnItIn to be excluded as a means to reduce the similarity?

I used to be able to do it on our old system but cannot find a way to do it now.

Hi @NathanODONNELL,

Based on what you have described, you would need to create a second/additional assignment for only submitting the task sheet and set that assignment to not use Turnitin.

@dbrace Thanks for the suggestion. I would prefer them to be in a single submission so I can annotate them at the same time and export together for submission to the assessment authority. I was an option with safe assign back in the day

You are welcome, @NathanODONNELL, and I understand the desire.

The challenge is that the task sheet, even if the contents are different for each student, is serving as a type of template and that is making it difficult to evaluate it for originality.
