• Prior to grading in Blackboard,?download?a grade history report?from the full grade center to?identify IP addresses of assignment submission (submissions to third party integrations such as Turnitin, McGraw-Hill Connect, Pearson, etc. will not record IP address in this report). IP addresses are only included in this report in the downloaded version.?https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Instructor/Grade/Grade_History?
• Get to know your students. Ask them to submit writing samples, participate in discussion boards, etc.,?so you get?to know their writing style and can identify inconsistencies.?
• Check document properties of files submitted for creation date, time and author (Word, Excel, PPT?files).?
• In Turnitin and SafeAssign, pay attention to very low matches or very high matches (<5% or?30%).?

Watch for:

• Assignments that only vaguely address required content.?
• Papers with no in-text citations, mismatched citations/reference page, foreign references.?
• Papers that quote abstracts or summaries of sources.?
• Suspiciously?high quality?writing.
