SimCheck Plagiarism Checker
VeriCite Retiring
A year or two ago, Turnitin bought VeriCite and they are discontinuing use of it sometime this year. They have modified VeriCite into a new program called SimCheck. We are able to offer both options during the Spring 2020 semester. So all your assignments using VeriCite will still work for the spring semester. On June 5 we will have to turn off VeriCite.
Using SimCheck
To activate Turnitin SimCheck, when creating an assignment, choose Online as the Submission Type, then choose Text Entry and/or File uploads.
As soon as you make these selections the Plagiarism Review options box shows up as seen below.
Choose which SimCheck options you want this assignment to use. Index all submissions should not be checked if this is a draft assignment and they will turn it in again. Except for that case, you would usually want to check Index All Submissions so that all papers submitted at our college can be checked against our other student's papers.
Generally speaking, we recommend using the settings seen in the image above, but of course, the choice is yours!
