60% SIMILARITY turnitin
Turnitin is absolutely horrifying. I submitted my psychology statistics coursework today and I have a similarity score of 60%. It’s so stupid for the lecturers to keep the similarity score visible because EVERY STUDENT WAS GIVEN THE SAME COURSEWORK SCENARIO AND GUIDANCE QUESTIONS. The guidance questions told us everything that we had to include and then they had the cheek to say “ make sure your work isnt similar to another students”. Like ???????????? How is that even possible when we have to report everything in a specific way??? Big blocks of paragraphs aren’t highlighted but loads of my phrases are because they are STANDARD WAYS OF REPORTING STATS. The whole percentage also comes from comparing my work to 305 other student papers from my uni. Does anyone have any idea on whether this will cause problems?? Should I be alarmed ?
