6. Submission settings.
Click to expand the "Submission settings" section.
- Put a check mark if you will accept late submissions pass due date, these submissions will be accepted but the time will indicate that it was submitted late.
- Put a check mark if you want to allow the students to resubmit their papers until due date. Students can make up to three submissions to the assignment within 24 hours of their first submission or first re-submission.
- Put a check mark if you want to allow submission of any file type. (Less than 100 MB, less than 800 pages, min 20 words, files extension accepted: doc or docx, wpd, html, pdf, ps, txt, rtf, odt, pptx, hwp or hwpx, google doc).
7. Report settings
Click to expand the report settings.
Please Note:
- If submissions are added to a repository
- Generate reports immediately - with this setting, the Similarity Report for each submission will be generated immediately without comparison to other submissions within the assignment. On the assignment due date, a new Similarity report and collusion check will be run. This process indexes all submissions to the selected repository and compares them to each other. As a result of this refresh, some similarity scores may change.
- Generate reports on due date - all submissions will enter the repository on the due date and will be used for comparison against each other.
- Submissions are not stored in a repository - the submissions within an assignment cannot be used for comparison against each other, so the time of report generation has no effect on the similarity score.
