Can I set a default so that all of my assignments do a turnitin check and not notify students? Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there @MeredithRussell; this is not something you can really do. You can set the assignment up to not show students the Turnitin score by changing when it shows the report to students to "Never"
But, students will still have to check the box to indicate that they agree with the tools terms of service or something along those lines when they submit the assignment.
If you don't mind, could you share why you don't want students to know you are putting their work through Turnitin?

@MeredithRussell oh, okay! It read like you wanted the assignments to go through Turnitin and that students would not be told it went through Turnitin. But it's that you want to change all your assignments to go through it and send students notifications that the assignments changed, yeah?
Unfortunately there is not a way to set all the assignments to default to go through Turnitin; it is something that you have to edit each and every assignment to do 😐
