TurnitinUK is a third-party service that several universities sometimes use for assignment submission, Anglia Ruskin included. One of TurnitinUK’s most attractive features is its originality check, which compares the submitted work against a vast database of sources, including the submitted work of other students in the class. After the comparison is made, TurnitinUK gives the teacher and the student a percentage of the similarity between the work and the database. The higher the percentage, the less original the work in question.
