Originality Reports in Google Assignments

Either a Student or a Professor can review an originality report that is generated when the papers or presentations are uploaded to Google Assignments. The report compares the uploaded paper to text found on the web and flags passages that do not look to be original. This tool is particularly useful for learning how to cite passages properly. More about how Originality Reports are created. To date, Originality Reports does not detect AI-generated text.

Please note that student work is not currently stored or compared against a database of other papers so Google Assignments originality analysis does not function quite like Turn it in.

If you are the professor of record, you will have access to unlimited originality reports for your course. Professfors are granted access to Google's teaching and learning functionality based on their role.
