In cases of suspected plagiarism, this must include commentary on why the evidence demonstrates plagiarism. Inclusion of the Turnitin report alone is not sufficient. Please remember that there is no ‘acceptable’ level, but you should however comment on the extent of the suspected plagiarism, its salience to the work as a whole and to specific aspects of that work. Please provide brief contextual information around the alleged offence eg if an exam, was it open book, if an assignment was there any groupwork element, was the purpose of the assignment to be diagnostic (eg early in the programme).
The student’s work has been suspected for plagiarism due to high similarity index score >20%. The student has been requested to explain the high similarity index for assignment.
