Safe Assign

SafeAssignRaccolta foto windows vista aggiornamenti. is a tool that students can use to ensure that they cite their written work properly, and one that you can use to check their work for accidental or intentional plagiarism after they submit it. Many students commit plagiarism unintentionally because they don't understand the rules, or because it's so easy to do a copy/paste from a digital source.

Be sure to reference the academic integrity policies in the NAU Student Handbook and dedicate some time to discussing what plagiarism means and what the consequences can be.

You might recommend the Academic Integrity course built by e-Learning. Share this self-enrollment link (https://nau.edu/bb-self-enroll/227890) and the course will appear in the student's Bb Learn My Courses list.

Encourage your students to follow these three general rules to avoid accidental plagiarism:

1. Unless a passage of text is in quotes, the source text should be re-stated in your own words.
2. Direct quotes should be used sparingly, and only for very important passages of text.
3. Unless a statement is common knowledge, you should cite the source of the idea.

If you have additional rules, be specific. For example, is there a particular citation style such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. that you expect them to use? Give them some examples of proper citation.

We encourage you to review the rules and consequences with them, and to have them check their writing using the Safe Assign Originality Report before they submit their work to you for final grading. Checking student writing through an interative process of rough drafts with feedback discourages procrastination, and helps students to improve their writing.

Important Note: Safe Assign calls the score the students get an 'Originality Report' and it will be a percentage score from 0% to 100%. This is unfortunate wording because a higher score is lower in originality. Emphasize that a score of 100% means the paper is entirely plagiarized.Lower scores are better!

One final piece of advice: If possible, design your assignment so that it is less of a 'fact dump' and more of a thinking question, or a defense of a point of view, or an opinion on a controversial topic. This makes it harder to plagiarize, more interesting for you (you don't have to read a bunch of versions of the same report) and it makes it easier to tell if your students have a grasp of the content. For a history paper, don't ask for a biography of Abraham Lincoln, but instead ask students to write about the difficult decisions he made and what they would have done in his shoes. For a biology paper, don't ask what material is stored in the gall bladder and what it's function is, but instead ask what is the effect on the body when the gall bladder is surgically removed. This is much more difficult to Google and come up with an intelligible answer.

To create a Safe Assignment:

1. Log into Bb Learn and navigate to your course.
2. In the upper right of the screen, make sure Edit Mode is ON.
3. From the Assessments menu, select Assignment.
4. On the Create Assignment page, expandSubmission Details.
5. Under Plagiarism Tooks, selectCheck submissions for plagiarism using SafeAssign.
6. Select your options:
   1. Allow students to view the SafeAssign originality reports on their submissions. (We generally recommend this.)
   2. Exclude all student submissions for this assignment from the institutional or global reference databases. (We generally don't recommend this.)
7. Specify the other information about the assignment.
8. ClickSubmit

Direct Submit gives you the option of manually submitting one or many (you'll first need to compress them in a .ZIP archive) papers manually. A good use case for this is if you see some suspicious text in a Discussion post, for example, and want to check it for originality.

1. In the Blackboard course with the Edit Mode on, selectCourse Tools and then SafeAssign.
2. SelectDirectSubmit. This brings you to your Direct Submit console.
3. If you have already uploaded papers, a list of folders and papers will appear. This list includes papers already uploaded through Direct Submit. It is not recommended that files be deleted from Direct Submit, as this will remove them from the institutional database of existing materials.
4. Type in a new folder name to help differentiate papers uploaded for different assignments or reasons. ClickAdd, and then navigate to a folder or create a new folder where the paper or papers will be uploaded. Note: Papers added to folders in the Private tab are only viewable you you, the instructor. Papers added to folders in the Shared tab are viewable by any one with a role above a student in the course – so TAs, additional instructors, etc.
5. ClickSubmit Paper.
6. Select the upload options:
   • Submit as Draft: A SafeAssign report will be generated however the paper will not be added to the institutional database and will not be used to check other papers.
   • Skip Plagiarism Checking: Adds the papers to the institutional database without checking for content copied from other sources. This is useful if an Instructor wants to upload papers from an earlier course to ensure that current students are not reusing work.
7. SelectUpload File and browse for the file. Individual papers as well as papers that are grouped in a .ZIP package are accepted. Alternatively, selectCopy/Paste Document and add the document text or a portion of the document into the paper text field.
8. ClickSubmit.

Result times vary depending on how many papers are be submitted to the system at any time. Please allow for at least 2 hours.

Common Issues:

Drafts: If you're planning to use Safe Assign on a writing assignment where students submit several drafts of the same paper, be sure to use the Multiple Attempts option because, otherwise, SafeAssign may incorrectly flag the second draft as self-plagiarism of the first.

Submissions: Students can either compose a submission in the built-in editor by clicking the Write Submission button, or they can compose offline in a word processor (you should specify which file formats you'll accept) and upload the file by clicking Browse My Computer and selecting the file on their computer. Students sometimes mistakenly attempt to write their submission in the comments box, so be sure to tell them that the comments box is just for comments you would send to the instructor alongside the submission. If the submission is lengthy, or if the student wishes to retain a copy, we recommend composing offline. This also allows students to spell check and save as they go, and is important if they will be revising the paper after your feedback on the first draft. It's also possible to compose offline in your favorite word processor and then copy/paste the submission and submit it.

When instructors create a SafeAssign assignment, they and their students are able to view the SafeAssign Originality reports.

1. To view the SafeAssign Originality Report, access the assignment submission through either the Needs Grading Page or Full Grade Center.
   1. Note: To view information on how to grade Assignments, click here: Grading Assignments
   2. Note: To view information on how to create SafeAssignments, click here: Creating SafeAssignments
2. On the Grade Assignment Page, you are able to view the overall percentage match for the assignment submission.
   
3. Expand the SafeAssign Tab and click View Originality Report to view the detailed report for this assignment.
4. On the SafeAssign Originality Report, you can view the total percentage match, the matching passages which are highlighted, and the sources for each highlighted passage.
   
5. Blackboard suggests that the total percentage match be used as a warning or guide for instructors. It is up to you to determine whether or not the student has plagiarized. The following percentages can be used as guidelines:
   1. Scores 15% or below: there is no evidence of plagiarism.
   2. Scores 15%-40%: there is extensive use of quotes in the paper. Make sure to check each matching passage to make sure it is properly attributed. If not, plagiarism may be involved.
   3. Scores 40% or over: it is probable that the student has plagiarized while writing this paper. Be sure to check over the entire paper for plagiarism and make sure that quoted sections are properly attributed.
6. You can print the SafeAssign Originality Report using the print icon at the upper right-hand corner of the report.
7. Once you have finished viewing the report, you can close out of the report.
