Have You Tried Originality Reports in Google Classroom?
You and your students can use originality reports to check work for originality and authenticity of assignments handed in through Classroom. When you run a report, it compares a student’s Google Docs or Slides file against webpages and books on the internet, as well as assignments submitted by other students in GCSD. The report links to detected sources and flags uncited text.
Learn more about originality reports with this brief video and help page, courtesy of the experts at Google.
