👉Remember to check your lecturer’s coursework submission guidance.

Generally, for formative/ draft assignments e.g. for a Draft dropbox, you may be given multiple (up to three) submission attempts that allow you to check, improve and resubmit your coursework. In this case, you can normally view your Turnitin similarity report as soon as you submit the draft.

However, sometimes you will when you submit a summative/ final assignment through Turnitin, you may be given only one submission attempt and you may not be able to see the similarity report until after the submission has been marked.
