SafeAssign is a plagiarism prevention tool that allows your instructor to check the originality of homework submissions. SafeAssign automatically conducts the check by comparing your assignment against a database of other assignment submissions.

View your submission and the SafeAssign reports:

• Find it in your course under Assignment Details and then select SafeAssign.
• You can see the overall match percentage and can learn more by selecting View Originality Report.
• It may take a few minutes for a report to generate after you have submitted an assignment.

Originality Report:

• Submitting an assignment through SafeAssign generates an originality report.
  • This provides you with detailed information about the matches found between your paper and existing sources.
• A report summary can be found at the top of the originality report.
  • This shows you the overall risk of improper citations in the paper, including the percentage of matching or similar text.
• Citations: sources that match the submitted paper's text are listed in the right panel of the report.
  • Select the source type to learn more about the match. For each source, a number appears that corresponds with the highlighted text in the submission.
  • Next to the source you can select Highlight match to toggle highlighting.
  • You can also select open match source to visit the matching source text in a new window.
