As an instructor, you can run ad hoc authenticity checks on assignments in two ways:

1) Using Our Canvas Turnitin QuickCheck

1. Go to https://adler.instructure.com/enroll/96AFMR and enroll in the QuickCheck course.
   
   
2. Once enrolled, click Start Assignment to upload a document for checking.
   
   
   
3. You should be given feedback immediately. Submissions using this tool will not be indexed.

2) Using Turnitin.com Quick Submit

All instructors that have set up Turnitin assignments in Canvas can log into Turnitin.com and utilize their QuickSubmit capability. The quick submit feature allows instructors to submit papers and receive Similarity Reports without creating a class or an assignment. This is ideal for instructors who would like to use Turnitin to spot check submissions and have these papers in electronic format. Quick submit should not be used if the instructor desires to have students submit their own papers.
