100% Turnitin Plagiarism Report
I am so dumbfounded by this, I do a unit that gives the turnitin report to us some time after submission.
So we had a group assignment where only one of us was supposed to submit and since other group members were kinda inconsistent and didn’t know English very well, I very clearly stated that I will submit it and communicated as such.
I submitted the assignment on 3 May but in Turnitin’s info tab it shows submission date as 6 May and it is 100% matching to a document submitted on 5 May to USYD like even the Group members’ names and SID are in red.
So can anyone help me understand what possibly could’ve caused this? Did someone from the group submit the paper again, or is it a glitch in the system or something?
I asked the group members, one of them said no, and 2 are unresponsive so far.
I didn’t plagiarise and neither did any of my group members since I was the one who wrote the final document. I just used AI which was allowed and clearly mentioned it too as per the uni guidelines.
I have proactively messaged my tutor and the uc about this and requested to see the paper that it is 100% matching to or advise me if someone from my group submitted it.
I have no academic dishonesty incident/investigation or any of the sort during my almost 3 years at the uni so far and since this is my last sem and this paper is worth 20%, I am kinda feeling pretty dumbfounded for lack of better words.
If anyone could help advise what should I do, or maybe it happened to someone else. It’d be awesome.
Edit: Just fixed some grammar mistakes
Update: Talked to UC and he said he’s aware of the issue and is investigating this across multiple groups. No one in my group submitted extra.
