• If "Yes", a student who has not previously made a submission will be able to submit paper once.
• If "No", all students will be blocked from submitting papers after the due date.

17 Report Generation Speed :

• Generate reports immediately (resubmissions are not allowed)
• Generate reports immediately (resubmissions are allowed until due date)

Note Student submissions will compare against one another within the assignment on only the due date and time, which may result in a change in the similarity score and results at the due date and time.

Note Similarity Reports will generate immediately for your first three attempts. After three attempts a 24 delay is enforced between Similarity Reports generating.

• Generate reports on due date (resubmissions are allowed until due date)

18 Store Student Papers :

Note If teachers changed the Repository from one to another, only those papers submitted after the amendment will abide by this change (i.e. papers submitted before the amendment will not be affected).

• No Repository : The submitted papers will not be stored to Turnitin Database that these papers will not be the source for further checking.
• Standard Repository : The submitted papers will be stored to Turnitin Database for further checking. For example, student papers submitted to this assignment will be checked against other students' submissions within the class.

19 Check against Stored student paper / Internet / Journals, periodicals and publications : Three categories of Turnitin Database Source. The similarity percentage may decrease if less category de-selected.

Note These settings could not be revised once a student paper submitted.

20 Exclude Bibliography / Quoted material / Small matches : Exclude content of student papers from being checked for matches when generating Similarity Report. These settings can be set in each individual Similarity Report independently.

Note These settings could not be revised once a student paper submitted.
