Under Optional settings:
[1] DO NOT allow late submissions as this potentially causes problems.
[2] Under Compare submitted papers against the following sources, check all three boxes.
[3] Under Originality Report generation and resubmissions, there are three choices in the dropdown menu:
Generate reports immediately (resubmissions are not allowed) – one report is generated immediately with no chance for students to make changes to the paper after they receive the report. This is the default.
Generate reports immediately (resubmission are allowed until due date) – students get a report, they can repeatedly make changes and resubmit the paper up until the due date.
Generate reports on due date (resubmission are allowed until due date) – the report is generated on the paper last submitted
[4] Under Exclude bibliographic materials from Similarity Index for all papers in this assignment, select yes or no.
[5] Under Exclude quoted materials from Similarity Index for all papers in this assignment, select yes or no.
[6] Under Exclude small matches, select yes or no (default is no). If you select yes, there are options for how many words to exclude or what percentage of words should be excluded.
[7] Under Allow students to view Originality Reports, select yes or no.
[8] Under Submissions to this assignment will be stored in, there are two choices in the dropdown menu:
Standard paper repository (default) – choose this option, especially if you will be having students do this assignment across multiple semesters
Do not store the submitted papers – if you chose this option, you will not be able to compare papers submitted for this current assignment to those papers students previously submitted either earlier or in the previous semesters. This severely hinders a text match search.
NOTE: If students are able to submit multiple times and get a report back with each submission, the subsequent reports will be near 100% if papers are stored.
[9] Under Add PeerMark assignments, select yes or no. Information on how to do PeerMark assignments is covered in another handout. PeerMark is another way to enable peer review of a submitted paper.
[10] Under Attach a rubric to this assignment, the rubric created in Canvas does not transfer over to TII. When the External Tool submission type is selected during the assignment creation, the Add rubric option in Canvas disappears.
[11] To create a rubric in TII, click on Launch Rubric Manager.
If you want to use a rubric for grading in SpeedGrader, select the Submission Type initially as Online > File Uploads (not External Tool), create the rubric, then save it. Go back in to the assignment and select External Tool as the Submission Type. The rubric will then show up in SpeedGrader. Follow these steps if you plan to use SpeedGrader to annotate comments and only need TII for a similarity report.
